Jerusalem may be in the best possible strategic position to seriously degrade Hezbollah’s terror army while neutralizing Tehran’s malign influence.
A Hezbollah spokesman said that the Yemen-based terror group is planning its next phase against the Jewish state.
“The international community must act decisively by imposing more crippling sanctions on Tehran,” said deputy U.N. ambassador Noa Furman, echoing calls from the U.S., the UK and France.
The United States was not involved in the Israeli strike, a U.S. Defense Department spokesman said.
“We see the cranes,” one of the pilots can be heard saying, before another confirms, “Everything is dismantled.”
IDF targets Houthi dual-use terror infrastructure in Yemen Following UAV assault
Two IDF soldiers were wounded in a drone attack from Lebanon on Saturday evening.
The ballistic missile was downed outside of Israeli airspace, according to the IDF.
U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin reaffirmed Israel’s right to self defense, noting that the Israeli strike followed months of Houthi attacks.
The strikes “also followed the Houthi’s aggression against the State of Israel since the start of the war,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
Footage from the scene appeared to show an armed drone hitting a residential building close to the U.S. diplomatic mission.
“No damage or injuries have been reported at this time,” according to U.S. Central Command.
