Israel’s military launched multiple attacks on Houthi sites in northern Yemen, a day after its widely criticized airstrike against Hamas officials on Qatari soil.

Israel carried out strikes on Yemen’s capital Sanaa and northern province of Al Jawf, killing at least 35 people in a fresh offensive on the Iran-backed Houthi militant group as the tit-for-tat between both sides persists.

The European Commission president, meanwhile, said she would seek sanctions and a partial trade suspension against Israel over the war in the Gaza Strip. The move adds to Israel’s already unprecedented global isolation as it grapples with the fallout from its strike targeting Hamas leaders in U.S.-allied Qatar on Tuesday.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Saturday they intercepted a missile fired from Yemen, which triggered air raid sirens across multiple areas in Israel during the night. Residents in Tel Aviv and other cities rushed to shelters.

As Israeli strikes in far-off Qatar and Yemen sparked regional tensions this week, violence surged in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and east Jerusalem.
