Israel launches series of strikes on Yemen's Red Sea port Hodeidah
"Since Israel launched its genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023, the Houthis have carried out drone and missile attacks against it in solidarity with Palestinians under fire. They have also targeted vessels in the Red Sea and launched drones towards Israel. In response, Israel has hit infrastructures such as ports and power stations in Houthi-held parts of Yemen and also bombed civilian areas."
"The attack on Tuesday was first confirmed by the Houthi-affiliated Al Masirah TV station which reported 12 strikes. The Israeli military struck the Red Sea coast city, hours after it issued a threat to evacuate the area. For your safety, we urge everyone in Hodeida port and the vessels anchored there to evacuate the area immediately, the Israeli army's Arabic-language spokesman Avichay Adraee said on X."
"Dozens of people were killed in the Yemeni capital Sanaa and the al-Jawf governorate in Israeli strikes on Wednesday. The following day, the Israeli military said it intercepted a missile fired from Yemen. Late last month, Israel assassinated the Houthi Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahawi in another air strike in Sanaa, with the group vowing vengeance for his death and the deaths of almost half of his cabinet."
