Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office releases footage of the premier, alongside Defense Minister Israel Katz and IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, in the Israeli Air Force command bunker at the Kirya military headquarters in Tel Aviv during the strike against Houthi targets in Yemen’s port city of Hodeidah.

The strikes come as a response to a Houthi ballistic missile attack that hit an area close to Ben Gurion Airport yesterday, wounding several people.

Media in Yemen reported strikes carried out by the US near the capital, Sanaa, shortly before the Israeli strikes.
