Israel launched a new wave of heavy airstrikes on Yemen Wednesday, killing at least 35 people and injuring over 130, according to the Houthi-run health ministry. The strikes come just days after Houthi rebels claimed a drone attack on an Israeli airport.

Most of the casualties were reported in the capital, Sanaa, where a military headquarters and a fuel station were among the targets. Rescue teams continue to search through the rubble.

Meanwhile, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said she would push for sanctions and a partial trade suspension against Israel over its ongoing war in Gaza. The move intensifies Israel’s growing diplomatic isolation, following its controversial strike on Hamas leaders in Qatar, a key U.S. ally.
