MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed on Sunday that the Israeli air force had carried out strikes on the city of Al Hudaydah in the Houthi-controlled western Yemen, hitting several power plants and the local seaport.
Earlier in the day, a source in the provincial administration told Sputnik that Israeli fighter jets had launched a series of strikes on Al Hudaydah.
"Today (Sunday), during an extensive, intelligence-based aerial operation, dozens of IAF [Israeli air force] aircraft — including fighter jets, mid-air refueling aircraft, and intelligence aircraft struck military targets belonging to the Houthi terrorist regime in the Ras Isa and Hudaydah areas of Yemen. The targets included power plants and a seaport used to import oil," the IDF said on Telegram.
The strikes were launched in response to the recent attacks by the Houthis against Israel, the IDF said.

"The Zionist raids on Al Hudaydah on Sunday resulted in the death of four civilians and the wounding of 40," the Yemeni health ministry spokesman said, as quoted by the Al-Masirah broadcaster.
