Israel strikes Huthi targets in Yemen

Israel struck Huthi targets in Yemen on Friday, including a power station and coastal ports, in response to missile and drone launches, and warned it would hunt down the group's leaders.

Since the war in Gaza broke out in October 2023, the Iran-backed group has fired dozens of missiles and drones at Israel in what it says is a show of solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Israel's latest strikes came after the military intercepted two drones believed to have been launched from Yemen the previous day.

"A short while ago... fighter jets struck military targets belonging to the Huthi terrorist regime on the western coast and inland Yemen," the Israeli military said in a statement.
