The IDF struck in Yemen against the Houthi terror group in a plan approved by Defense Minister Israel Katz, Israel’s military announced during the early hours of Thursday morning.
It added that the targets Israel struck were used by the Houthis for military purposes, which included smuggling Iranian weapons into the region. The IDF also confirmed that ports and energy infrastructure in Sanaa were hit during the strikes.
The Israeli strikes on the terror group were carried out with the direction of the Intelligence Directorate and the Israeli Navy, the IDF said.
Notably, it added that the airstrikes began shortly after the Houthis fired a projectile from Yemen toward central Israel during the early hours of Thursday morning. The projectile was then intercepted by the IAF.

Katz threatens whoever plans on harming Israel
Katz later reiterated his commitment to operating against all threats posed to the citizens of Israel.
“Whoever raises a hand against the State of Israel – his hand will be cut off,” Katz said following the strikes.
“Whoever harms us – will be harmed sevenfold,” he warned.
