IDF Hits Houthis with Most Powerful Strike of War
The IDF’s strike against Yemen’s Houthis on Sunday, September 29, was the most powerful one against the terror group since the beginning of the war, even exceeding the massive strike on Hodeidah in July, sources told Israeli media ahead of the IDF announcement.
Dozens of Israeli aircraft, including F-15I fighter planes, 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 Houthi Health Ministry said the attack resulted in the deaths of four fighters and the wounding of 29, without any attempt to distinguish between Houthi members and civilians.
According to a Hezbollah-affiliated outlet and confirmed by the IDF, the targets of the strikes were oil reserves in Ras Issa and also the port of Hodeidah.
Additional 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. (JPost / VFI News)
