Dozens of Israeli aircraft participated in the operation, striking 1,800 kilometers from Israeli territory, after the Houthis fired three ballistic missiles on the Tel Aviv and central Israel areas in recent weeks, including one on Saturday. The targets included power plants and a seaport used to import oil, which the Houthis used to transfer Iranian weapons to the region, in addition to military supplies and oil, IDF reported. According to Hezbollah-affiliated outlet Al Mayadeen and confirmed by the IDF, the targets of the strikes were oil reserves in Ras Issa and also the port of Hodeidah. The Houthi-run Al Masirah announced that the Civil Defense has begun working to put out the fire at the current power station, which was caused by the strikes. Additionally, Al Mayadeen reported that Hodeidah's electricity station and airport have both been targeted by IDF strikes. The IDF said its intelligence arm selected targets based on where Iran has been delivering weapons to the Houthis, mixing civilian locations with military use to then attack Israel. The IDF added that the Houthis have been attacking Israel throughout this past year, not only this past month. Over the year, the Houthis launched many ballistic missiles and drones at Eilat. In July, a drone from the Houthis killed a civilian in Tel Aviv. Several hours after the initial strike, Al Masirah claimed that four people had died from the strikes, with an additional 33 injured. | |

| #11 @10 "the port (of Eilat) is in a state of bankruptcy", so the attack on free navigation is also part of the Houthi's war on Israel. |

| #10 ^It was to teach the Houthis not to fire rockets at Israel. "free navigation on international waters" is our problem? |

| #9 Was this a counter-force strike that diminishes or eliminates the Houthi's ability to attack free navigation on international waters? The Houthi's may be backwards savages but so far they did manage to cause huge damage to the world's economy by expending a pittance. |

| #3 The IDF confirmed on Sunday that during an extensive, intelligence-based aerial operation, dozens of IAF aircraft—including fighter jets, mid-air refueling aircraft, and intelligence aircraft struck military targets belonging to the Houthi terrorist rebels in the Ras Isa and Hudaydah areas of Yemen. The targets included power plants and a seaport used to import oil, which was "used by the Houthi terrorist regime to transfer Iranian weapons to the region, in addition to military supplies and oil," the IDF stated. |
