The precise strike deep in enemy territory demonstrates Israel's immediate response capability throughout the Middle East region.
Under the banner of "Strategic Strike", the IDF executed today a series of precise attacks deep within Yemeni territory, in a military operation that emphasizes Israel's operational capabilities to reach any point in the Middle East. The strikes targeted strategic objectives, including vital infrastructure used by the Houthi organization.
In a well-planned military operation, the Israeli Air Force struck critical infrastructure along the western coastal strip and deep within the country, including hitting the Hizaz central power station, which serves as a vital artery for Houthi military operations. Additionally, infrastructure at the strategic ports of Ras Issa and Hodeidah was attacked.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu clarified Israel's resolute position in a stern declaration: "As we promised – the Houthis are paying, and will continue to pay, a heavy price for their aggression against us. Today we struck terror targets of the Houthi terror regime in the western coastal strip and deep inside Yemen". Netanyahu emphasized the connection between the Houthis and Iran: "The Houthis are an Iranian proxy and serve the terror objectives of the Iranian axis in the Middle East. They pose a danger to Israel and the entire region, including threatening global freedom of navigation".
During the strikes, precise hits were reported on underground targets in the Amran city area, highlighting Israel's intelligence and operational penetration capabilities. The strikes were conducted under precise guidance from the Intelligence Division and Navy, utilizing advanced technologies and precise intelligence.
The Israeli response constitutes a clear message to the Houthis and their Iranian patrons: Israel can respond swiftly and forcefully to any threat, even thousands of kilometers from its borders. As the Prime Minister emphasized: "We will not tolerate harm to our citizens and our state. We will act with determination and force against any entity that threatens the State of Israel – anywhere and anytime required".
Although the strikes were conducted parallel to American-British coalition activity in the region, a senior American official clarified that these were separate operations, with only tactical coordination to prevent conflicts. This fact emphasizes Israel's operational independence and its ability to act independently to protect its interests.
The strikes caused significant damage to Houthi infrastructure, with the impact on the Hizaz power station and strategic ports expected to significantly affect the organization's operational capabilities. Intelligence sources assess that the damage to these infrastructures will significantly hamper the continuation of Houthi terrorist activities.
The target selection indicates precise strategic planning, aimed at damaging Houthi operational capabilities while minimizing civilian casualties. The operational precision and ability to strike distant strategic targets emphasize the IDF's technological and operational superiority.
