**IDF Spokesperson:**
*For the second time in less than 24 hours, the Israeli Air Force struck terror targets of the Houthi terrorist regime in Yemen.*
The Air Force recently attacked and destroyed infrastructure of the Houthi terror organization at the main airport in the Sanaa area, rendering it completely inoperative. This comes in response to the Houthi terror organization's rocket fire at Ben Gurion Airport.
The airport, like the Hodeidah port targeted last night, is used by the Houthi terror organization for transferring weapons and operatives, and is regularly operated by the Houthi regime for terrorist purposes. This is yet another example of the Houthi terror group using civilian infrastructure for acts of terror.
In addition, several central power stations in the Sanaa area were also targeted. The Houthi terror regime exploits these as major power supply infrastructures for their operations—another instance of the regime exploiting the Yemeni people and their civilian infrastructure for terrorism.
Furthermore, the “Al-Amran” cement factory, located north of Sanaa, was targeted. This is a significant resource for the Houthi terror regime and is used in the construction of tunnels and military infrastructure. Striking the plant deals a blow to the regime’s economy and military buildup.
The strikes were carried out in a targeted manner, with precautions taken to minimize harm to civilians and civilian property as much as possible.
The operation was approved by the Commander of the Air Force and the Chief of the General Staff.
Over the past year and a half, the Houthi terror regime has operated under Iranian direction and funding in order to attack Israel and its allies, destabilize regional order, and disrupt global maritime freedom.
The IDF is determined to continue acting forcefully against anyone who poses a threat to Israeli citizens—at any distance necessary.
