Israeli airstrikes have hit Yemen’s capital, days after the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels fired what the Israeli military described as the first cluster bomb they've launched since 2023.

Israel struck Yemen’s Houthis on Sunday after the Iran-backed rebels fired a new type of missile at Israel. The Israeli military said it struck a military site where the presidential palace is located, as well as two power plants and a fuel storage site.

Israel has responded to another Houthi attack with strikes on the Yemeni capital Sanaa. What's behind the attacks, and how are they related to Iran, Gaza and Red Sea shipping routes?
