Tel Aviv: The Israeli Air Force (IAF) recently launched airstrikes on military targets in Yemen, specifically targeting Houthi-controlled sites, including power plants and a seaport.

Sharing a post on X, the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) said, "The IAF struck military targets belonging to the Houthi terrorist regime in Yemen in response to their recent attacks against Israel."


It added, "The targets included power plants and a seaport, which were used by the Houthis to transfer Iranian weapons to the region, in addition to military supplies and oil."

Reiterating its commitment to ensuring the safety of the Israeli citizens, the IDF said, "Over the past year, the Houthis have been operating under the direction and funding of Iran, and in cooperation with Iraqi militias, to attack the State of Israel, undermine regional stability, and disrupt global freedom of navigation. The IDF is determined to continue operating at any distance--near or far--against all threats to the citizens of the State of Israel."

Meanwhile, tensions also escalated in the Middle East after Hezbollah launched missile strikes targeting Haifa and northern Israel.

Sharing a post on X, the IDF said, "Once again, more than a million Israelis are running for shelter after Hezbollah fired missiles at Haifa and northern Israel."
