IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin, in a press conference, confirms the Israeli Air Force carried out a strike in Yemen last night, at the same time as strikes in Iran.
The target of the Israeli strike in Yemen was Houthi military chief of staff Muhammad Al-Ghamari, according to Israeli officials. The results of the strike are not yet known.
“Last night, while the strikes in Iran were ongoing, air force fighter jets flew over 2,000 kilometers from Israel and struck in Sanaa in Yemen. We will update later on the results of the strike,” Defrin says.
