As it did after yesterday’s strikes, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office releases footage of the premier alongside Defense Minister Israel Katz in the Israeli Air Force command bunker at the Kirya military headquarters in Tel Aviv during the IAF strike on the Houthi-controlled Sanaa International Airport and other sites near Yemen’s capital.

The IDF says it also targeted several power stations near Sanaa that were used by the Houthis, along with a cement factory north of the capital, used by the group to construct infrastructure and tunnels.

The strikes come in response to a Houthi ballistic missile attack that hit an inside the grounds of Ben Gurion Airport on Sunday, wounding several people.
