Houthi leaders began reaching out sometime around the first weekend in May to US allies in the Middle East, two US officials said.
IDF's Arabic spokesperson, Col. Avichay Adraee, warned locals should evacuate until further notice for their own safety.
The missions aimed to disrupt the Houthis' weapons supply chain and degrade their ability to operate through strategic maritime and aerial routes.
"They said please don't bomb us anymore and we're not going to attack your ships," Trump said.
"I have said many times that anyone who attacks the State of Israel will pay the price," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated.
The IDF struck various locations across Sanaa, including Sanaa International Airport, electric power stations, and a cement factory, to weaken the Houthis.
This was in reaction to the IDF conducting a wide array of air strikes across Yemen on Sanaa International Airport, electric power stations, and a cement factory, to weaken the Houthis.
The IDF confirmed that one of the other locations struck was al-Imran cement factory, located to the north of Sanaa.
