Hodeidah is much less defended and relies on a few rigged boosted R-73s and MANPADs.
However, Israel can fly the F-35 right in using the right package with tanker and possibly jammer /ELINT support from USN
Even with F-35s the attack a Nuclear facilities ? would be difficult and complicated. They have limited firepower which would mean numerous attack waves would be necessary to effectively strike all targets. They would require refueling for each wave to reach that far and mid air fuelers would be vulnerable during that time if used. Degrading Iran's air defense network would also be prudent even with stealth aircraft, which means even more strike missions. This then starts to look like a war and not a quick limited strike, a war that could drag in other countries?
