On May 16, 2025, the Israeli Air Force launched a precision strike on Houthi-controlled ports in Yemen. The targets: Hodeidah and Salif---critical hubs in Iran's regional weapons smuggling network. Using F-15I Ra'am strike fighters armed with a mix of standoff missiles and guided bombs, Israel neutralized port infrastructure linked to Iranian resupply operations. This video breaks down the operation system by system, showing how Israeli pilots leveraged advanced targeting pods, radar mapping, and bunker-busting munitions to deliver pinpoint strikes from hundreds of kilometers away. We'll take you inside the cockpits, sensor feeds, and weapons systems used to shut these ports down.
