Israel’s Minister of Defense announced the launch of Operation Black Flag, with the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) carrying out strikes on multiple military targets belonging to the Houthi movement in Yemen.
IAF fighter jets, supported by intelligence from the IDF Intelligence Directorate and the Israeli Navy, targeted key sites including the ports of Al Hudaydah, Ras Isa, and Salif, as well as the Ras Kanatib power plant. Among the strikes was the commercial vessel Galaxy Leader, seized by the Houthis in November 2023 and reportedly used for monitoring maritime traffic in the Red Sea.
The defense minister said the operation came in response to repeated attacks by the Houthis against Israeli civilians and infrastructure, including the launching of UAVs and missiles towards Israel. He also warned that anyone who threatens Israel will face consequences.
The IDF said the ports targeted are used by the Houthis to allegedly receive weapons from Iran, which are then employed for attacks against Israel and its allies. It added that the Houthis exploit civilian infrastructure and maritime routes to carry out their activities.
Prior to the operation, Israel issued evacuation warnings.
