Yemen’s Houthi forces have launched a bold and strategic series of strikes, targeting Israeli and US military assets in retaliation for ongoing aggression against Yemen and in support of Palestinians in Gaza.

The Iranian-backed Houthi militia in Yemen on Tuesday claimed to have attacked the international airport in Tel Aviv as well as targets in Jerusalem. Houthi military spokesman Yehya Saree said in a televised statement that Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport and an electricity plant in the Jerusalem area had been attacked with ballistic missiles.

Yemen’s armed forces have carried out two operations targeting two Israeli sites and a US warship, Yemen’s military spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree said in a statement on Tuesday.
