Israel launched intensive airstrikes on Monday evening, using 30 fighter jets in an attempt to destroy the Houthi group's military infrastructure. According to a report by Yedioth Ahronoth, Israel dropped about 50 bombs on sites used by the Houthis to manufacture weapons in the coastal city of Hodeidah.

This attack comes on the heels of a missile fired by the Houthis towards Israel's Ben Gurion Airport, which led to a state of security alert and the cancellation of flights. Israeli sources indicated that the Houthi attack revealed gaps in Israeli air defenses, which prompted Tel Aviv to a quick and extensive military response.

Israel carried out the airstrikes on Houthi sites in Hodeidah during the night hours, using 30 fighter jets to ensure that their targets were accurately destroyed. The attacks targeted weapons manufacturing workshops and ammunition depots used by the Houthis to support their military operations. Reports confirmed that the explosions resulting from the bombing were very violent, causing widespread destruction at the targeted sites.
