Israel Launches Major Airstrikes on Yemen After Missile Hit Ben Gurion Airport
Israel launched major airstrikes in Yemen on Monday that targeted the Red Sea port of Hodeidah and a concrete factory near a city in the same province, strikes that came a day after a Houthi missile struck Israel’s Ben Gurion airport.
The Israeli military said that about 20 of its warplanes took part in the attack and dropped about 50 munitions on the port and the concrete factory. The strikes were launched in coordination with the US.
It’s unclear if US warplanes directly took part in the Israeli attack, but the US did launch other airstrikes in Yemen on Monday. According to Yemen’s SABA news agency, a total of 18 US airstrikes targeted the Yemeni capital of Sanaa and the Al Jawf province.
