IAF Spokesman: Air Force fighter jets attacked, under the direction of the Intelligence and the Navy, terrorist targets of the Houthi terrorist regime in the western coastal strip and deep inside Yemen.
The attack was carried out in response to repeated attacks by the Houthi terrorist regime against the State of Israel, its citizens, and against civilian infrastructure in the country, including the launch of unmanned aerial vehicles and surface-to-surface missiles towards the country's territory. The State of Israel has the right and obligation to defend itself.
Among the targets attacked were infrastructure at the "Hizaz" power plant, which serves as a central electrical infrastructure for the Houthi terrorist regime in its military activities. In addition, infrastructure was attacked at the ports of 'Ras Issa' and 'Hudaydah' on the western coastal strip in Yemen.
The targets attacked illustrate the military use carried out by the regime Houthi terrorism in civilian infrastructures for terrorism.
The Houthi terrorist regime is a central branch of Iranian-backed terrorism and is disrupting the regional order and disrupting global freedom of navigation.
The Houthi terrorist regime operates as an independent terrorist organization, relying on Iranian cooperation and funding, in order to harm the State of Israel and its citizens.
The IDF will continue to act forcefully and harm anyone who poses a threat to the citizens of the State of Israel, at any distance necessary.
