A senior source in the Houthis' Ministry of Defense told the Hezbollah-affiliated Lebanese channel al-Mayadeen that Israeli warplanes took part in operations alongside Saudi forces to counter a Yemeni attack on Saudi Arabia.
According to the source, the aircraft were Gulfstream-type planes used for intelligence gathering, communications, and tracking. They allegedly operated from Nevatim Airbase in Israel and conducted missions over the Red Sea, helping to locate Houthi missile and drone launches.
The claim comes amid heightened tensions following strikes on Sana'a International Airport, which the Houthis blamed on Saudi Arabia. The group responded by firing missiles at targets in Saudi Arabia.
Neither Israel nor Saudi Arabia has commented publicly on the allegation.
