The Israeli military said about 20 fighter jets carried out the operation "in response to the repeated attacks by the Houthi terrorist regime against the State of Israel, its civilians, and civilian infrastructure, including the launching of UAVs and surface-to-surface missiles toward Israeli territory". It alleged that the ports were used to transfer weapons from Iran and that Houthi forces had installed a radar system on the Bahamas-flagged Galaxy Leader "to track vessels in the international maritime arena to facilitate further terrorist activities". "In retaliation to this aggression, and in continuation of triumphing for the oppressed Palestinian people, the missile and UAV forces carried out a joint military operation using 11 missiles and drones," he added, identifying the targets as Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion airport, the ports of Ashdod and Eilat, and a power station in Ashkelon.
