IAF strikes Houthi terror targets across Yemen

Israeli Air Force fighter jets carried out a series of strikes overnight Sunday on Houthi infrastructure in Yemen, targeting facilities in the ports of Al Hudaydah, Ras Isa and Salif, as well as the Ras Kanatib power plant.

The operation involved approximately 20 aircraft and the deployment of more than 50 munitions.

According to the Israel Defense Forces, the operation was a direct response to ongoing attacks launched by the Houthis against the Jewish state, including repeated UAV and missile assaults on civilian areas.

“These ports are used by the Houthi terrorist regime to transfer weapons from the Iranian regime, which are employed to carry out terrorist operations against the State of Israel and its allies,” said the IDF.

The military described the strikes as part of a broader campaign to disrupt the Houthis’ ability to operate in the maritime domain. The Iranian-backed terror group has used Yemen’s coastline to threaten international shipping routes and launch attacks on vessels transiting the Red Sea.
