The strikes were reportedly conducted inthree waves, targeting underground facilities, ballistic missile depots, anddrone storage sites.
The Israeli Broadcasting Authorityconfirmed that the airstrikes hit Hodeidah, Ras Isa port, and areas surroundingSanaa.

The Israeli Army Radio noted that thestrikes were closely coordinated among the participating forces.
According to the Houthi-affiliatedAl-Masirah TV channel, the airstrikes targeted the Haziz power plant in Sanaaand hit areas near Al-Sabeen Square in the capital during a solidaritydemonstration in support of Gaza, which has been under what the Houthisdescribe as a “genocidal siege” by Israel for 462 days.
Notably, since November 2023, the Houthimovement has intensified its attacks, launching missiles and drones againstIsraeli or Israel-linked cargo ships in the Red Sea. The Houthis have statedthat these actions are in solidarity with Gaza amid ongoing Israeli militaryoperations.
In response to these attacks, Washingtonand London initiated a series of airstrikes and missile attacks on Houthipositions in Yemen in early 2024, causing significant casualties andinfrastructure damage.
