Multiple Houthi targets in western Yemen were hit by the Israel Defense Forces Saturday following a fatal drone attack in Tel Aviv that killed one person and injured 10 others the previous day, according to reports. 

The IDF said that its attack was “in response to the hundreds of attacks carried out against the state of Israel in recent months," according to The Associated Press.

Houthi spokesman Mohammed Abdulsalam accused Israel of blatant aggression and said the attacks were meant to pressure Yemen to stop supporting Gaza amid the Israel-Hamas war.

Abdulsalam said that despite the attacks, Yemen will continue to support Gaza. 

Israel and Hamas have been at war since Oct. 7 when Hamas attacked Israel, resulting in about 1,200 people being killed.
