The IDF confirms striking in Yemen, saying Israeli fighter jets struck Houthi targets following the Iran-backed rebel group’s repeated missile and drone attacks on Israel.
According to an IDF statement, the targets struck by the warplanes were “used by Houthi forces for their military operations.”
“Attacking these targets harms the terrorist authorities by preventing the exploitation of infrastructure for military and terror purposes, including transferring Iranian weaponry to the region,” the military says.
The IDF also says that “with Iran’s guidance and funding,” the Houthis have acted together with Iran-backed militias over the past year to attack Israel, “undermine regional stability and disrupt global shipping.”
“The IDF is determined to continue acting and striking whoever threatens citizens of the State of Israel, at any distance required.”
