According to a report by The Times of Israel, the airstrikes targeted Houthi military infrastructure, including key fuel and oil depots, power stations, and vessels critical to the group’s operations.
According to the IDF, 14 Israeli Air Force fighter jets, accompanied by aerial refuelers and spy planes, took part in the operation. The jets flew approximately 2,000 kilometers to strike military targets along Yemen’s western coast and near the capital, Sanaa. The operation saw over 60 munitions dropped on Houthi positions, inflicting substantial damage on their military capabilities.
Among the specific targets hit were two power stations that supplied electricity to Houthi-controlled regions, eight tugboats used in ports, and several fuel and oil depots crucial for sustaining the group’s military operations. The IDF emphasized that the destruction of these assets would significantly hamper the Houthis’ ability to carry out further attacks, marking a strategic blow to their logistical network.
The footage released by the IDF showcases the precision of the airstrikes, as well as the refueling process that allowed the Israeli jets to carry out the long-range mission. The operation demonstrates Israel’s ability to project military force over vast distances and its commitment to responding to threats posed by groups like the Houthis, who have been aligned with Iran in a broader regional conflict.
In addition to targeting military infrastructure, the IDF’s operation sends a strong message of deterrence to the Houthis and their backers in Tehran. The military’s move is in response to recent escalations involving missile and drone strikes launched by the Houthis at Israeli assets, part of a wider pattern of Iranian-backed aggression against Israeli interests.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
