The strike killed three people and injured 87. The attack targeted Houthi military installations due to their frequent attacks on Israel. The operation involved 12 Israeli aircraft, F-35 stealth fighter jets, F-15 fighters, reconnaissance aircraft and refueling planes. The target was some 1,800 kilometers (1,100 miles) from Israel.

Following their retaliatory strike, Israel issued the following statement:

“The IDF is capable of operating anywhere required and will strike any force that endangers Israelis. After nine months of continuous aerial attacks by the Houthis in Yemen toward Israel, IAF fighter jets conducted an extensive operational strike over 1,800km away against Houthi terrorist military targets in the area of Al Hudaydah Port in Yemen. This port serves as an entryway for Iranian weapons for the Houthi terrorist regime.”
