The Israeli military said it had struck the Yemeni port city of Hodeidah in response to recent attacks by the Iranian-backed Houthis against Israel.

The strike on power stations and a seaport, which killed four people, was the second known time that Israel has retaliated against the militant group’s attacks by striking in Yemen.

Leaders in Tehran suggested it would be the Lebanese militia that would strike back at Israel after the killing of Hassan Nasrallah and bombings in Beirut.

Israel’s airstrikes south of Beirut flattened several buildings and targeted Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah.

An attack on a secret weapons lab was one of the most daring Israeli operations against the Iranian proxy group in years, covert in name only.

A Times analysis of video from the Israeli military shows that at least eight planes it said were used in the attack on Hassan Nasrallah were armed with bunker-buster bombs.

“Nobody has any idea what to do,” said one of the many residents who fled the Dahiya, an area near the Lebanese capital where Hezbollah holds sway, amid overnight Israeli airstrikes.

The Israeli military decided to strike at the Hezbollah leader because it believed there was only a short window before he disappeared to a different location, three senior Israeli officials said.

The military struck targets throughout the night that it said were tied to Hezbollah.

The Bekaa Valley, a Hezbollah bastion in eastern Lebanon, had mostly been spared over 11 months of war. But The New York Times saw widespread devastation there after intense Israeli airstrikes this week.
