The Israeli Air Force struck the Presidential Palace, a city power station and fuel tanks Sunday afternoon in the Houthi-run Yemeni capital of Yemen.
More than 30 bombs were used in the attack, which lasted about ten minutes and targeted a petroleum derivatives warehouse, the Haziz Central Power Station and an Oil Company station, according to Yemeni sources.
At least two people were killed and five wounded in the strike.
The attack came in response to a ballistic missile attack fired at central Israel by the Iranian-backed Houthis, who for the first time armed the missile with a cluster bomb warhead. Despite multiple systems launched to intercept the missile, it managed to release its payload over Israel.
One of the Houthi cluster bombs landed in the yard of a home in the town of Ginaton, causing slight damage.
Iran used similar missiles at least twice this past June during the 12-day war with Israel.
“The terrorist Houthi regime is learning, the hard way, that it will pay, and is already paying, a very heavy price for its acts of aggression against the State of Israel,” Netanyahu said in a statement congratulating IDF Chief of Staff LTG Eyal Zamir, IAF Commander Tomer Bar and the pilots on an “impeccable mission.”
All Israeli planes and personnel returned safely to base.
“Whoever attacks us – we attack them. Whoever is planning to attack us – we attack them. I think that the entire region is getting to know the strength and the determination of the State of Israel,” Netanyahu said.
What’s with all the Yidden in Yemen? Are they safe?
Like the rest of the middle east
You can look into it more but they have been very unsafe and lots of Yemenites are in Israel and London and very very few remain there and they know it is unsafe.
the great majority, if not all, left quite a long time ago. Baruch Hashem for the IDF retaliation! Would you rather they harm more Jews in Israel instead? Israel should finish the job with all its enemies which will, as much as, or more, than anything else, help to bring משיח כאו!!
Hashem, keep all Yidden everywhere safe!
As of 2024, there are reportedly only one Jew remaining in Yemen, Levi Marhabi, according to some sources, while others suggest there may be as many as five. The Yemenite Jewish community has faced significant challenges, including persecution and forced emigration, leading to a drastic decline in numbers.
