Houthi leaders leave Yemeni capital amid fears of Israeli retaliation - reports

Houthi commanders have left Sanaa and relocated to other areas due to concerns about a potential attack by Israel or the US following the early Saturday attack on Tel Aviv, Al-Arabiya reports.

Houthi officials have also advised their leaders to minimize their movements, according to Sky News Arabia.

The reports came hours after a missile launched by the Iran-aligned rebels struck a public park in southern Tel Aviv. The impact of the ballistic missile caused sirens to sound across central Israel at 3:44 a.m., sending millions of residents rushing to shelters. This was the second such attack on Tel Aviv since Thursday.

The explosion injured 16 people, mostly with minor injuries from shattered glass, including a three-year-old girl. Another 14 individuals sustained bruises while rushing to shelter. Footage from the site revealed a crater in the park caused by the missile.
