Israel Launches Massive Airstrikes
IDF Spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari issued a statement about the precision airstrikes that the IDF launched into Yemen in the early hours of Thursday morning.
“Today, the IDF conducted precise strikes on Houthi military targets in Yemen – including ports and energy infrastructure in Sana’a, which the Houthis have been using in ways that effectively contributed to their military actions,” Hagari explained. “Israel will not hesitate to act in order to defend itself and its citizens from the Houthi attacks.”
Carmel Shama-Hacohen, the mayor of Ramat Gan, has revealed that the multi-story Ramat Ef’al elementary school sustained millions of dollars worth of damage from the Houthi terrorists’ missile strike, and will need to be entirely rebuilt. Luckily, the building was empty when the missile strike hit.
The retaliatory strikes conducted by the IDF involved 14 fighter jets that the military deployed in two waves. The first strike on a Houthi target was at the ports of Hodeida, Salif, and the Ras Isa oil terminal. The second strike was designed to target energy infrastructure in Sanaa.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a statement about the strikes, noting that the Houthis are one of the only Iran-backed terror group that has not been significantly decimated by Israel’s ongoing efforts to eliminate its terrorist enemies.
“After Hamas, Hezbollah and the Assad regime in Syria, the Houthis are almost the last remaining arm of Iran’s axis of evil,” Netanyahu said. “They are learning and they will learn the hard way, that whoever harms Israel pays a very heavy price for it.”
Meanwhile, the Houthi terrorists have fired at least 200 ballistic missiles into Israel, as well as more than 170 suicide drones. They have also targeted cargo ships and oil tankers in numerous attacks over the past year since the October 7 Hamas massacre in Israel.
