Israeli warplanes bombed the Presidential Palace in Sanaa, Yemen’s capital, on Sunday in a series of retaliatory strikes against Houthi rebels after they launched a cluster-bomb missile toward Israel. At least two people were killed and 35 others injured in the attacks, which also targeted two power plants and a fuel storage facility.

“The Houthi terrorist regime is paying a very high price for its aggression,” Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallantdeclared from Tel Aviv, standing alongside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir. Netanyahu warned: “We will strike anyone who strikes us. Whoever plans to attack us, we will attack.”

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that the strikes destroyed the military complex housing the Presidential Palace, as well as the Haziz and Assar power plants and a fuel depot allegedly used for Houthi military operations. According to the IDF, the operation was launched in response to “repeated missile and drone attacks” from Yemen against Israeli territory.

Last Friday, Houthi forces fired, for the first time, a missile equipped with cluster munitions — a weapon banned under international law — which hit a residential home in the Israeli city of Ginaton. Although there were no casualties, security sources confirmed the projectile was only partially intercepted, raising concerns about the Houthis’ growing long-range strike capabilities.

In response, Houthi leaders accused Israel of attempting to “boost the morale of its settlers” through its airstrikes, vowing that their offensive “will continue in support of Gaza.” Hezam al-Asad, a senior member of the Ansar Allah political bureau, warned that operations against Israel “will escalate” and stressed that the movement “will not be intimidated.”

Houthi officials reported that the strikes destroyed the Haziz power plant, which supplied electricity to hospitals and homes across Sanaa, resulting in a widespread blackout.

“We hold the Zionist enemy and its U.S. partner fully responsible for this heinous crime and for the loss of innocent lives,” the Houthi government said in a statement. They accused Israel of “launching an open war against the Arab and Islamic nations” and reaffirmed their commitment to supporting the Palestinian cause, declaring: “Supporting Palestine is a religious, national, and humanitarian duty.”

Honduran Cardinal Óscar Andrés Rodríguez strongly criticized on Sunday those who seek power “at any cost” for personal gain and denounced the hypocrisy of individuals who claim to be Christians but act out of selfish interests. His remarks came during the Mass held at the Minor Basilica of Suyapa in Tegucigalpa.

“Those who want to gain power at any cost, knowing it is not to do good but to serve themselves — I don’t know them — the Lord says to them: you are not Christians, no matter how many labels or titles you give yourselves,” the prelate declared.

Rodríguez also condemned those who use social media to attack others in the name of faith. “There are people giving theology lessons while insulting others — and what do they really know? Nothing but selfishness and the obsession with holding on to power at any cost. That is worthless; they do not see how those who commit evil end up, they do not see where the dictators who have oppressed the world are today,” he stated.

The cardinal warned that faith weakens when it becomes entangled with ideologies or personal interests, pointing to the ongoing crisis in Gaza as an example. “How many men and women can truly sustain their faith if they follow ideologies, economic interests, and political agendas, while thousands die of hunger every day? Just look at those painful pages of children dying of starvation in Gaza,” he stressed.

Rodríguez also criticized those who believe they can hide moral and family failings. “So many people think they are clever because they forget that stealing is forbidden by God’s commandments. They steal, thinking no one will notice; they commit adultery or betray their families, believing it will remain hidden — but everything eventually comes to light,” he warned.

During his homily, Rodríguez urged the faithful to place their hope and salvation in Christ, not in power or money. “Salvation cannot be bought. Salvation is God’s gift to us through the cross of Christ, but this gift is also a task: we must preserve it and make it a way of life,” he emphasized.

Finally, the cardinal called on Hondurans to embrace inner transformation by overcoming “laziness, hatred, lies, resentment, and selfishness.” He highlighted that true conversion is reflected in humility, mercy, justice, truth, and a genuine commitment to peace and reconciliation.

Senator Toño Martín del Campo, representing Aguascalientes, stated that a potential U.S. military intervention in Venezuela is feasible, describing the South American country as living under a dictatorship that must end “at any cost.”

“That country is anti-democratic, it has a dictator, and that dictator must fall. I believe it is preferable at any cost for him to fall for the sake of our Venezuelan friends,” Martín del Campo said.

However, he ruled out the possibility of Mexico participating in such an action, arguing that it would mean “protecting a dictator” and contradict the country’s principle of supporting democratic regimes.

“That would be terrible, because protecting a dictator, knowing how the elections have been and how the people are suppressed, is not fair,” he emphasized.

Regarding Mexico–U.S. bilateral relations, the senator noted that the Mexican Senate has already approved the entry of U.S. troops for training purposes with the Mexican Army and National Guard, but he rejected any possibility of an invasion that could compromise Mexico’s sovereignty.
