Hagari noted that Yemen was involved in the attack, with US reports that America shot down around 70 aerial attacks using naval and aerial power.

Nebatim base sustains minor damage

The censor permitted publishing that the base which had minor hits was Nebatim in the desert, a key base for the F-35. Israel also published photos and video which it said were showing Nebatim air base still fully functioning despite the minor hits.

Hagari also alluded to Jordan's assistance along with that of its other allies.
