Israel conducts airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen

Israel has launched strikes on three ports and a power plant in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen. The targets included the commercial ship Galaxy Leader, previously hijacked by Houthi rebels in 2023. Following the attacks, two missiles were launched from Yemen into Israel. Sirens were triggered in Israel, and the interception results are under review. Houthi-run media in Yemen reported strikes in Hudaydah, with no further details on damage or casualties. The strikes were part of 'Operation Black Flag,' warning that the Houthis will face consequences for their actions.

Since the Israel-Hamas war, Houthi rebels have launched missiles at Israel and attacked commercial ships in the Red Sea. The Israeli Air Force stated the strikes on Yemen were in response to repeated attacks by the Houthis. The targeted ports were allegedly used to transfer weapons for terror plans against Israel and its allies. Houthis confirmed confronting Israel's strikes with missiles after the attack.
