Israel struck Houthi targets in Yemen in response to missile and drone launches, including a power station and coastal ports. The strikes were carried out in retaliation for Houthi attacks on Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the Houthis would continue to pay a heavy price for their aggression. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz vowed to hunt down the leaders of the Houthi terror organization. The Houthis have fired missiles and drones toward Israel since the Gaza war began in October 2023.
