Israeli Air Force jets struck numerous Houthi terror targets in Yemen, both on the country’s coast and in the interior, the Israel Defense Forces said on Thursday morning.
The announcement came after Israelis in Tel Aviv were forced to take shelter when the Houthis fired a ballistic missile, which was intercepted.
Targets included Houthi military assets, ports and energy infrastructure in Sana’a, the IDF said, saying, “Attacking these targets harms the terrorist regime by preventing the exploitation of infrastructure for military and terrorist needs, including the transfer of Iranian weapons to the region.”
Briefing reporters, IDF Spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari blamed Iran for supporting Houthi attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea.
