More than 30 Israeli fighter jets are attacking the port and military airport of Hodeida in Yemen, Israeli officials confirmed, adding that the "large-scale" attack is in coordination with the United States. There are reportedly dead and wounded.
An Israeli security source told local media that IDF fighter jets "dropped 50 bombs," targeting the port of Hodeida " used for the transfer of Iranian weapons, military equipment and other terrorist purposes," and a cement factory near the nearby town of Bajil, about 2,000 kilometers from Israel.
The Bajil cement factory “is an important economic resource for the Houthi terrorist regime and is used to build tunnels and military infrastructure,” the army said, adding that the attacks “represent a severe blow to the regime’s economy and its military strength.”
Since the start of the war in Gaza and the Houthi attacks, this is the sixth attack by the IDF in Yemen. This one in particular is a response to yesterday's Houthi missile attack on Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. " This is a very strong attack, and it will not be the last. The game is over," the source concluded.
