The IDF has begun striking Houthi-controlled ports and infrastructure in retaliation for drone and missile attacks
Israel has launched a major military operation against Houthi targets in Yemen, Defense Minister Israel Katz has confirmed, announcing that Israeli forces were "intensely" striking multiple locations under the name "Operation Black Flag."
The strikes reportedly targeted infrastructure in the Yemeni ports of Hodeidah, Ras Isa, and Al-Salif, as well as a power station at Ras Katib and the Galaxy Leader ship, which had been seized by Houthi forces in the Red Sea nearly two years ago. Loud explosions were reported in areas surrounding the targeted sites.
"As I warned, Yemen will be treated like Tehran," Katz said in a statement on X. "Anyone who tries to harm Israel will be harmed, and anyone who raises a hand against Israel will have it cut off. The Houthis will continue to pay a heavy price for their actions."
