According to the military, dozens of Israeli Air Force aircraft participated in the strikes in Yemen overnight, including fighter jets, refulers, and spy planes, some 2,000 kilometers from Israel.

The Houthi “military targets” were struck at the Hodeidah port — which Israel has struck twice before — and for the first time, in the capital Sanaa, the IDF says.

The IAF has been preparing for the strikes for several weeks, military sources say.
