Die IDF bestätigten, dass sich die Operation ausschließlich auf militärische Ziele konzentrierte und Atom- und Ölanlagen mied, um eine Eskalation des Konflikts zu verhindern.
The military noted that jets flew 2,000 kilometers and used over 60 bombs to strike Houthi targets.
"We did this in response to the Houthis' recurring attacks on civilian targets in Israel," Netanyahu noted.
Israeli strikes hit Yemen early Thursday, killing nine people according to Houthi media, after Israel said it intercepted a missile from Yemen.
The strikes began less than an hour after the IDF intercepted a ballistic missile launched toward central Israel by the Houthis.
By disabling significant parts of Syria's military, Israel’s swift action has prevented Syria from becoming a wholesale distributor of weapons of war.
The IDF added that the missile did not cross into Israeli territory, however, alerts sounded due to concerns over falling interception debris.
The terrorists planned to carry out terror activities against IDF troops and the State of Israel from within the compound in the area.
Al Mayadeen also claimed strikes had targeted the Syrian port city of Latakia, Hama and Deir el-Zor.
The Dept. Head, Ammar Daloul, was reportedly a significant source of knowledge for the terrorist organization.
