00:00Israel has hit Houthi militants and infrastructure today.
00:03Can you share more details about the scale of the operation
00:07and what Israeli warplanes have targeted?
00:10Yeah, that's right.
00:11They very quickly acknowledged that it was indeed IDF planes
00:16that hit those targets,
00:17putting out a fairly lengthy statement
00:19explaining that they were targeting
00:21what they said was Houthi infrastructure.
00:23Now we know that Sana'a International Airport
00:26in the capital there was targeted.
00:29We also know energy facilities were targeted
00:32as well as several key ports,
00:34including the main one of Hodeidah.
00:36Now what the Israelis are saying
00:37is that they were targeting those,
00:40particularly transport links,
00:42because they say that Iran is using them
00:44to smuggle weapons into Yemen,
00:47including ballistic missiles,
00:48which the Houthi themselves have been firing
00:51towards Israel in fairly large numbers,
00:54I have to say, in recent days,
00:56which is why we had been expecting
00:59a fairly large-scale response was coming,
01:02and we certainly saw it today.
01:03We understand three people were killed,
01:06according to Houthi media, 17 injured,
01:09and also a very high-profile person
01:12happened to be at Sana'a International Airport
01:14when they struck.
01:15It was the Director General of the World Health Organization,
01:18of course, the UN's health body.
