The IDF has confirmed that it has just conducted airstrikes against the Iran-supported Houthi forces in Yemen.

The military states that numerous Israeli Air Force aircraft, such as fighter jets, refueling planes, and surveillance aircraft, were involved in the operation, which took place around 1,800 kilometers from Israel.

According to the IDF, the strikes were aimed at military facilities controlled by the Houthi regime, located in Hodeidah and near the Ras Isa port in western Yemen.

“The IDF attacked power plants and a port, which are used to import oil. Through the targeted infrastructure and ports, the Houthi regime transfers Iranian weapons to the region, and supplies for military purposes, including oil,” the military reports.

The IDF further states that the airstrikes were conducted in retaliation for the Houthis’ recent ballistic missile attacks on Israel, with three such attacks occurring this month.
