Operation "Outstretched Arm"
IDF:
Today, July 20th 2024, Israeli Air Force fighter jets struck military targets belonging to the Houthi terrorist regime in Yemen.
All of the pilots returned home safely.
The strike was conducted in response to the Houthis' ongoing terrorist attacks on Israel in recent months, including the launch of hundreds of aerial threats, one of which resulted in the death of an Israeli citizen, Yevgeny Ferder z”l, and the injury of several other civilians.
Israeli Air Force fighter jets initiated an extensive operational strike over 1,800 kilometers away from Israel, striking targets in the area of the Al Hudaydah Port in Yemen. The Al Hudaydah Port serves as an entryway of Iranian weapons for the Houthi terrorist regime and as a significant economic source for them. This is one of the furthest strikes away from Israeli territory ever conducted by the Israeli Air Force.
Over the past few months, the Houthis have been operating in order to destabilize the Middle East. The Houthi terror attacks are funded and directed by Iran, harming the maritime freedom in the area, regional ports, the Suez Canal and global trade as a whole.
Attacks against Israel and Western nations are under the guidance of Iran, which funds, arms, and directs its proxies in their attacks, thus attempting to hide and avoid the consequences of war.
The IDF will continue to defend the State of Israel anywhere it is required to do so against terror threats and will maintain the security of Israeli Civilians.
