We fight, We win
The Israel Air Force carried out multiple strikes against Iran’s Yemeni proxies, the Houthis, on Saturday, including an attack on Yemen’s biggest port, Hudaydah, in an attack code-named Operation Long Arm.

It is believed that Saudi Arabia allowed Israeli aircraft to cross through its airspace to carry out the attack.

Dozens were killed and injured, according to multiple reports. The port itself went up in flames, fueled by oil stored at the site. The targets included military equipment facilities, energy infrastructure, oil refineries and a military airport where the Houthis received deliveries of weapons from Iran.

The attack followed a Houthi drone strike in the wee hours of Friday morning in Tel Aviv that left one person dead and eight others wounded. The drone exploded against a multi-story apartment building just a few hundred meters away from the US Embassy.

“A short while ago, IDF fighter jets struck military targets of the Houthi terrorist regime in the area of the Al Hudaydah Port in Yemen in response to the hundreds of attacks carried out against the State of Israel in recent months,” the IDF said in a statement.
