Israel Responds to Houthi Missile Assaults, Targets Sana’a Airport in Yemen 

According to a report from Haaretz, the Israeli armed forces executed airstrikes on Sana’a International Airport located in Yemen's capital on Thursday, as stated by an Israeli official.


Additionally, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched attacks on the Hodeidah seaport situated in western Yemen. This Israeli response follows a week marked by ongoing missile assaults from the Houthis aimed at Israel, including a recent hypersonic ballistic attack directed at Tel Aviv.


Since the conflict's inception in Gaza, the Houthis have persistently fired missiles towards Israel as a show of support for the Palestinian cause.


IDF Responds to Attacks 

The IDF announced via X that it had carried out attacks targeting the Houthis.


“After receiving the go-ahead for operational strategies from the Chief of General Staff, the Defense Minister, and the Prime Minister, IAF fighter jets executed intelligence-driven strikes on the military sites of the Houthi terrorist regime in western Yemen and its interior areas a short time ago,” the IDF posted.


“The Houthi terrorist regime has launched numerous attacks on the State of Israel and its populace, notably involving UAV assaults and surface-to-surface missile strikes on Israeli land,” it further explained.


The military noted that it targeted the military infrastructure utilized by the Houthis for their operations at both Sana’a International Airport and the Hezyaz and Ras Kanatib power facilities.


“Furthermore, the IDF targeted military facilities at the ports of Al-Hudaydah, Salif, and Ras Kanatib on the western coastline,” the statement indicated.


“These military sites were exploited by the Houthi terrorist regime for smuggling Iranian arms into the area and facilitating the entry of high-ranking Iranian officials. This instance exemplifies how the Houthis misuse civilian infrastructure for military ends,” the IDF tweeted.
