The Israeli military said on Sunday it was striking several Houthi rebel targets in Yemen, including power stations and a seaport, using dozens of aircraft.
The Houthi-controlled Al-Masirah TV said a port worker and three engineers were killed with 33 wounded in the “initial toll”, adding ambulance and rescue teams were still searching for missing people. Residents said the bombing had caused power cuts in most parts of the port city of Hodeidah.
The strikes came a day after the Iran-backed rebel group said it targeted Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport with a missile.
“In a large-scale air operation today, dozens of Air Force aircraft, including fighter jets, refuelling planes and reconnaissance aircraft, attacked military-use targets of the Houthi terrorist regime in the Ras Issa and Hodeida areas of Yemen,” military spokesman Captain David Avraham said in a statement to Agence France-Presse.
“The IDF [military] targeted power stations and a seaport used for oil imports,” a military statement said.
