Official statement now being issued by the IDF regarding the attack in Yemen :

Full message: Following plans approved by the Chief of Staff, the Minister of Defense, and the Prime Minister, Air Force fighter jets recently attacked, under the direction of the Intelligence Branch, terrorist targets of the Houthi terrorist regime in the western coastal strip and deep inside Yemen. The Houthi terrorist regime repeatedly attacks the State of Israel and its citizens, and launches unmanned aerial vehicles and surface-to-surface missiles toward the country's territory.

Among the targets attacked were infrastructure used by the Houthi terrorist regime for its military activities at the international airport in Sana'a and the Aziz and Ras Qantib power stations, which constitute a central electrical infrastructure for the Houthi terrorist regime. In addition, infrastructure was attacked at the ports of Hodeidah, Al-Salif and Ras Qantib on the western coast of Yemen.

These infrastructures were used by the Houthi terrorist regime, among other things, to transfer Iranian weapons to the region and the arrival of senior Iranian officials to the region.

The targets attacked illustrate the Houthi terrorist regime's military use of civilian infrastructure for terrorist purposes.

The Houthi terrorist regime is a central branch of the entire Iranian axis and is responsible for undermining regional order and disrupting global freedom of navigation. The Houthi terrorist regime operates as an independent terrorist organization, which relies on Iranian cooperation and funding, all in order to harm the State of Israel and its citizens. The IDF will not hesitate to act forcefully and harm anyone who poses a threat to the citizens of the State of Israel, at any distance necessary.
