Israel Strikes Houthi Targets

On Sunday, Israel confirmed that it bombed Houthi targets in Yemen and executed further airstrikes in Lebanon. This came two days after an Israeli attack killed the Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

According to the IDF statement, the airstrikes on Yemen’s port of Hodeidah were a response to Houthi missile attacks on Israel in recent days.

“Through the attacked infrastructure and ports, the Houthi regime transfers Iranian weapons to the region, and supplies for military needs, and thus also oil,” the IDF said in the statement.

Israel on Sunday vowed to keep up its assault.”We need to keep hitting Hezbollah hard,” Israel’s military chief of staff Herzi Halevi said.
