BREAKING: Israel is pounding the crap out of Yemen… [UPDATE: IDF CONFIRMS]

It’s just being reported that Israel is bombing the country of Yemen after the Houthis killed one and injured ten in Tel Aviv with a drone.

And it appears they are pounding the heck out of Yemen:

 
UPDATE: Here’s more on the bombings from the New York Times:

Israeli fighter jets bombed sites in Yemen affiliated with the Iran-backed Houthi militia on Saturday in retaliation for a deadly drone attack in Tel Aviv a day earlier, according to four U.S. officials and two regional officials. It was the first time Israel has publicly attacked the group in months of escalating tensions.

The Israeli airstrikes targeted gas and oil depots and a power station in the area of Yemen’s Red Sea port of Hodeidah, the two regional sources said. The port is controlled by the Houthis and is the site of oil export facilities, but it is also a vital conduit for civilian goods and humanitarian aid to impoverished Yemen.

There was no immediate comment by the Israeli military.

Nasruddin Amer, a Houthi spokesman, wrote on social media after the Israeli bombardment that the group’s position on Gaza would not change. “Yemen’s operations in support of Gaza will not stop,” Mr. Amer vowed. “The response to this aggression is inevitable.”

UPDATE 2: The IDF confirms the strike on Yemen:

TIMES OF ISRAEL – The Israel Defense Forces in a statement confirms it carried out airstrikes in Yemen a short while ago.

“Fighter jets struck military targets of the Houthi terror regime in the area of the Al Hudaydah Port in Yemen, in response to the hundreds of attacks carried out against the State of Israel in recent months,” the IDF says.

The military says there is no change to instructions for Israeli civilians.
