The IDF confirms it carried out airstrikes on multiple Houthi terror targets in Yemen, including the ports of Hodeidah, Ras Isa and Salif, and the Ras Khatib power station.

According to the military, the targets were used by the Iran-backed Houthi regime to transfer weapons and conduct terror activity against Israel and global shipping.

Among the sites hit was the “Galaxy Leader” vessel, hijacked by the Houthis in November 2023 and used for maritime surveillance and operational planning.

The IDF says the strikes come in response to repeated Houthi missile and drone attacks on Israeli territory and highlight the group’s ongoing use of civilian infrastructure for military purposes.
