Yemen: Israeli Defense Forces Strike Houthis
The Facts
The IDF responded to recent attacks on Tel Aviv and central Israel by Yemen's Houthis with a counterattack featuring dozens of aircraft, including F-15I fighter jets, 1.8K km (1.1K mi) from Israeli territory Sunday.
According to the Israeli military, the planes struck power stations and a seaport that imports Iranian weaponry. Al-Masirah, the Houthi-run news channel, reported four deaths at the al-Hali power station in Hodeidah, wounding at least 33.
The Spin
Pro-Israel narrative
This attack shows Israel's ability to conduct long-range military operations when necessary to extinguish the threat posed by Iran and its Houthi proxies. Even while conducting military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, Israel is able to defend itself elsewhere.
Anti-Israel narrative
It's time for the UN Security Council to take action against Israel for its unprecedented crimes, as Israel has killed thousands of Palestinians and Lebanon and beyond. The world expects the UNSC to take action against Israel and put an end to Israel's genocidal military attacks.
