The IDF confirms carrying out strikes against the Houthis in Yemen, saying it struck military camps where operatives were gathered, the headquarters of the terror group’s propaganda division, and a fuel depot, in both Sanaa and in the al-Jawf area north of the capital.
The strikes come after repeated Houthi missile and drone attacks on Israel in recent weeks, including a direct hit on Ramon Airport in southern Israel this week.
According to the IDF, the Houthis’ military propaganda division “is responsible for spreading incitement and propaganda messages in the media, including speeches by the leader Abdul-Malik [al-Houthi] and statements by spokesman Yahya Saree.”
“During the war, the headquarters has spearheaded the regime’s propaganda and psychological terror efforts,” the military says.
The Houthi camps that were struck were used by the Iran-backed group to “plan and execute terror attacks against the IDF and the State of Israel. The camps also contained operations and intelligence command centers used by the regime,” the IDF adds.
