The Israeli Air Force strike on the Houthis in Yemen involved over 20 aircraft, including fighter jets, refuelers and spy planes, according to the military.

The IDF says the fighter jets dropped some 50 munitions on three main targets: the Hezyaz power plant near the capital Sanaa and infrastructure at the Hodeidah and Ras Isa ports on the western coast of Yemen.

Alongside the new details, the military releases footage of IAF F-16I fighter jets taking off from the Ramon Airbase in southern Israel for the strikes.
