BREAKING: IDF and IAF Attack Yemen During Speech by Houthi leader
An Israeli source confirms to Sky News in Arabic: We attacked the international airport in Sanaa. Another channel also reported an attack on the power plant in the area.
According to initial reports in Yemen, there are deaths and injuries in attacks in the airport area.
The IAF attack in Yemen is spreading in several locations and is more widespread and affecting the country’s infrastructure.
Brief background leading up to IDF attack on Houthis
In recent days, there has been a real debate in Israel about how to respond to the Houthis’ aggression — whether to act directly against them and be satisfied with that, or whether to also act directly against Iran, as recommended by Mossad head Dedi Barnea.
Prime Minister Netanyahu, as we reported last night, expressed reservations about the Mossad head’s position and believed that direct action should be taken against the Houthis. “We will deal with Iran separately,” the Prime Minister said.
Senior officials in his entourage added that his position was formulated, among other things, in light of the additional challenges Israel now faces, including the changes in Syria.
ANALYSIS: This is the start of a campaign against Houthis
The current attack on Yemen is not just another one, but a new campaign that Israel will wage against the Houthis. As long as the terror on their part continues, the security establishment will continue to attack from the other side with great force.
Reports indicate that 7 attacks have been carried out on Sana’a and 3 attacks were carried out on the port city of Hodeidah.
“Our planes disabled the international airport in Sana’a by destroying its control tower, among other things. At the same time, they attacked the seaport in Hodeidah.”
In addition, the attack on Sana’a airport resulted in the destruction of several civilian aircraft.
