• During the early evening hours (Israel time) of January 10, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released a statement confirming conducting airstrikes in Houthi-held areas in Yemen.
• The IDF airstrikes targeted the Hezyaz power station in Sanaa, as well as the ports of Hodeidah and Ras Issa.
• The statement added that the strikes were in response to repeated attacks using ballistic missiles and UAVs toward Israel by the Iran-backed group.

Yemen 

1. Continue to avoid all travel to Yemen due to the volatile security environment and underlying risk of armed conflict, terrorism, crime, kidnappings, and unrest.
2. Those operating or residing in Yemen are advised to avoid the vicinity of any government, military, or strategic civilian infrastructure in Houthi-held areas over the coming days and weeks due to the likelihood of Israeli retaliatory strikes against such facilities.

Israel 

Continue to monitor regional developments and adhere to all Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Home Front Command (HFC) guidelines regarding early warning sirens. We advise downloading “Color Red” alert applications and websites, such as “Tzofar,” “Tzeva Adom,” and “Cumta-Red Alerts, to receive timely alerts.

During Color Red sirens 

1. When a Color Red siren is sounded: If a designated shelter exists, immediately go there. In “Mamads” (Residential Protected Rooms), make sure to lock the outer steel window of the room (and not only the glass window), as well as the steel door of the safe area, to ensure safety.
2. Approach the safe area calmly and remain cognizant of the fact that many injuries occur when people run to the shelter panicked.
3. If such a designated Mamad does not exist, go to a room with as few external walls, windows, and openings as possible, sit on the floor below the window line, and near an internal wall.
4. In an open area, lay on the ground and cover your head with your hands.
5. When driving, safely pull over and follow the above instructions.
6. Remain in the shelter for at least ten minutes following the sounding of Color Red sirens due to the risk of falling shrapnel and fragments.
