The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed Saturday that a precision airstrike last week in Yemen’s capital, Sana’a, eliminated several senior members of the Houthi regime, including the group’s so-called Prime Minister, Ahmed al-Rahawi. The Israeli Air Force conducted the strike on Thursday, August 28, with targeting based on real-time intelligence from the IDF Intelligence Directorate.
Iran launched a massive missile attack on Israel Friday night in direct retaliation for Israeli airstrikes earlier in the day that targeted key Iranian nuclear and military sites. The missile barrage triggered air raid sirens across the country, with several rockets breaching Israeli defenses and striking downtown Tel Aviv, wounding at least seven civilians.
