Israel's Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed on Wednesday that it launched airstrikes on the Yemeni capital, Sana'a, and the neighboring Al-Jawf region as part of Operation Ringing Bells. The IDF said fighter jets hit multiple Houthi military targets, including training camps, the Houthi military information headquarters, and a fuel storage site fueling rebel operations. ✈️🔥
In a statement, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz vowed more strikes across Yemen, in a campaign aimed at dismantling the Houthi movement's military and propaganda networks. Katz emphasized that the IDF would continue to protect regional security.
The Houthi movement, officially known as Ansar Allah, controls significant territory in northern Yemen and has been at the center of a long-running conflict involving a Saudi-led coalition. These new air raids mark a rare direct Israeli intervention in Yemen's war, raising questions about potential ripple effects on the volatile Middle East landscape. 🌍
