After Arab reports of Israeli strikes in Yemen, the IDF Spokesperson confirmed a short time ago that the air force attacked targets of the Houthi terrorist regime in Yemen about 1,800 kilometers from the Israeli border on Sunday.
According to published reports, as a result of the attacks, a large fire broke out in the port in the city of Al-Hudaydah, similar to an extensive Israeli attack two months ago in the city in western Yemen.
In a large-scale aerial operation today, dozens of IAF aircraft, including fighter jets, refueling planes and intelligence planes, under the direction of the Intelligence Directorate, attacked targets used militarily by the Houthi terrorist regime in the areas of Ras Issa and Hodeida in Yemen. The IDF attacked power plants and a seaport, which are used to import oil.
Through the infrastructure and ports that were attacked, the Houthi regime transports Iranian weapons to the region, and supplies for military purposes, and thus oil. The attack was carried out in response to the Houthi regime's recent attacks on Israel.
Over the past year, the Houthi terrorist regime has been operating under Iranian guidance, funding, and in cooperation with Iraqi militias, in order to harm the State of Israel, undermine the regional order, and disrupt global freedom of navigation.
