The Israeli military claimed to strike several Houthi rebel targets in Yemen, including power stations and a seaport, using dozens of aircraft, AFP reports.

“In a large-scale air operation today, dozens of Air Force aircraft, including fighter jets, refuelling planes, and reconnaissance aircraft, attacked military-use targets of the Houthi terrorist regime in the Ras Issa and Hodeidah areas of Yemen,” military spokesman Captain David Avraham said in a statement to AFP.

“The IDF (military) targeted power stations and a seaport used for oil imports,” a military statement said.

The Houthi-controlled Al-Masirah station Sunday that Israeli strikes targeted “the ports of Hodeidah and Ras Issa” as well as two power stations after previously announcing “Israeli aggression on Hodeida”.
