The Israeli navy on Tuesday carried out a first-of-its-kind attack against the Houthi terrorist network in Yemen, an official from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed to Fox News.

The precise long-distance strikes were launched from a Sa’ar 6 vessel, targeting the port of Hudaydah “to prevent its use for military activities.”

As of now, there is no immediate information on casualties from the strikes. However, the official characterized it as “a distinctive long-range strike executed from hundreds of kilometers away.”

U.S. Army Gen. Michael Kurilla told lawmakers in the House Armed Services Committee on Tuesday that Iran is the number one reason the Houthis remain a threat, adding the terrorist network “would die on the vine without Iranian support.”

The deputy head of the Houthis’ media office, Nasruddin Amer, took to X to claim that the attack had little impact. 

“No significant impact on our operations in support of Gaza, nor on preparations for escalation and expansion of operations deep inside the Zionist enemy entity,” he wrote. “It has no impact even on the morale of our people who take to the streets weekly by the millions in support of Gaza.”

“Gaza is not alone and will not be alone, and escalation and expansion of operations are coming,” he threatened. 

The IDF has threatened to enforce a naval and air blockade over the Houthis, which control the second-largest port in the country, if the attacks continue on Israel.
