U.S. officials told The Associated Press that the U.S. and British militaries struck more than a dozen Houthi targets.

Yemen’s Houthis have released video showing what appears to be an attack earlier this week on the British oil vessel the Cordelia Moon in the Red Sea. The Houthis have vowed to maintain a naval blockade until Israel halts its war on Lebanon and the Palestinian territories.

The strike on power stations and a seaport, which killed four people, was the second known time that Israel has retaliated against the militant group’s attacks by striking in Yemen.

Yemen's Iranian-allied Houthis on Saturday said they had targeted Ben Gurion airport in Israel with a ballistic missile and they had timed the attack to coincide with Israeli Prime Benjamin Netanyahu's arrival.

Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi militants said on Friday they had targeted the Israeli cities of Tel Aviv and Ashkelon along with three U.S. destroyers in the Red Sea with missiles and drones in support of Gaza and Lebanon.

Houthi rebels said in a statement that it launched drone attacks on central Israel. The Houthis claimed to have successfully hit a “vital target” in Tel Aviv with several drones. The IDF earlier reported that a drone was shot down by the Israeli Air Force over the sea off the coast of central Israel.
