Massive fires burned after an IAF struck Hodeidah port in Yemen following the Houthi attack on Ben Gurion airport.

The strikes were carried out by 14 fighter jets in two waves and targeted sites in Yemen's capital and coastal area.

'The Israeli Air Force struck dual-use infrastructure used for terrorist activities, including energy infrastructures,' IDF Spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said.

IAF airstrikes were used in the operation, with special forces guarding the hostages while they brought them to safety under heavy fire from terrorists.

The terrorist was hiding in an alley preparing to throw a grenade at an IDF paratrooper unit.

Israeli naval, aerial and ground forces continued to hammer Hamas targets along the Gaza coast.

When asked about his record in a recent IAF profile, Epstein said: 'It is not a title. There is no championship, and wars are not sports games.'

The alleged Israeli Air Force strike reportedly targeted surface-to-air missile components smuggled into Syria from Iran.

The strike reportedly resulted in the destruction of multiple targets, including buildings, weapons and ammunition depots, and headquarters.

Israel has previously bombed Hezbollah and Iranian infrastructure under construction in the area.

The IDF has remained silent on the report, as it usually does after reported operations in Syria.

The targeted area hosts facilities related to Hezbollah’s precision missile program, says Israeli defense watchdog; The strikes cause damage but no casualties, according to Syrian media.

Following devastating Israeli strikes on Iranian targets in Syria, Iranian General Hossein Salami claimed that any war Israel starts 'will end with its elimination.'
