The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit published photos this morning (Friday) showcasing the meticulous preparations and takeoff of Israel Air Force planes involved in Thursday’s strikes in Yemen.

The strikes targeted key military infrastructure used by the Houthi terrorist regime, according to an IDF statement. Among the targets hit were facilities at Sana’a International Airport, including military assets at the Hezyaz and Ras Kanatib power stations.

Additional strikes were carried out against military infrastructure at the Al-Hudaydah, Salif, and Ras Kanatib ports on Yemen’s western coast.
