Israel launched airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen, targeting ports and a power plant used for military purposes, following continued drone and missile attacks by the Iran-backed group.

Coordinated with the US, over 20 Israeli aircraft dropped 50 munitions on key locations, including the Hodeidah and Ras Isa ports.

Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz warned Houthi leaders of further consequences if aggression continues, Times of Israel has reported.

This follows months of Houthi drone attacks on Israel and disruptions to global trade in the Red Sea.
