The IDF confirms carrying out a wave of airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, a short while ago.

Dozens of Israeli Air Force aircraft, including fighter jets, participated in the strikes, the military says.

The strikes hit targets belonging to the Houthis’ “security and intelligence apparatus” and army.

The IDF says that among the targets were a headquarters of the Houthis’ general staff; compounds belonging to security and intelligence apparatus; the headquarters of the Houthis’ propaganda department; and other military camps where weapons were stored and operatives were gathered.

The strikes come in response to repeated Houthi missile and drone attacks on Israel, including a UAV that struck Eilat yesterday, wounding over 20 people, two of them seriously.
