The IDF releases footage from its airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen yesterday, in response to the Iran-backed terror group’s missile and drone attacks on Israel.

Some 20 Israeli Air Force fighter jets participated in the airstrikes, dropping 50 munitions on the Hodeida port and a concrete factory near the nearby city of Bajil. IAF refuelers and spy planes also participated in the operation.

The IDF says the strikes “constitute a blow to the regime’s economy and its military buildup.”

The videos released by the IDF show the strikes on the Hodeida port, as well as aerial refueling amid the strikes, which were carried out nearly 2,000 kilometers from Israel.
