Houthi positions close to Hodeidah port were targeted by Israeli fighter planes. Three individuals have been killed and 87 were injured in the attack. The strikes come only a few hours after the Israeli capital was struck by a drone fired by the Houthi military forces. A power plant and refineries were the targets of bombings that left the majority of the injured with severe wounds.
Witnesses at Hodeidah contacted media to report that amid a heavy attack, they heard blasts all across the city. Firemen and civil defense personnel were reportedly attempting to put out flames in the port’s oil tanks, according to the local Al-Masirah TV. According to a military spokesman for Israel, the Houthis have been receiving arms supplies from Iran through the port. According to him, the intended targets included dual-use locations like energy facilities.
Prior to the attack, which the IDF claimed was executed by F-15 jets that all restored securely, Tel Aviv had notified its partners. The Supreme Political Council of the Houthis declared that there will be a strong retaliation to the attacks. Yahya Saree, a spokesman for the Houthis’ military, stated that the group will not think twice before attacking the Israeli enemy’s strategic locations.
The assault happened, according to Israeli claims, after over 200 Israeli assaults by the Houthis. The assault on Yemen highlighted concerns that the Gaza War—which began on October 7 as a result of an attack on Israel directed by Hamas—might turn into a regional conflagration. Israeli Defense Minister released a statement stating that the flames that is now blazing in Hodeidah is seen throughout the Middle East and that its importance is obvious. “The Houthis attacked us over 200 times. The first time that they harmed an Israeli citizen, we struck them. And we will do this in any place where it may be required,” Yoav Gallant asserted.
An unmanned aircraft manufactured most possibly in Iran and fired from Yemen struck Tel Aviv’s center yesterday. The Houthi authorities claimed responsibility for the strike, which left several people injured and one guy dead.
The current battle in Lebanese border with Israel escalated before the strike. In the meantime, Benjamin Netanyahu is getting ready to head to Washington for a speech at the US House.
Israeli prime minister urged more thoroughly pressure on Iran and its allies. Netanyahu claims that by doing this, they contribute to the security of global commerce routes. The Houthi forces have increased their strikes on Israel and Western positions as the Gaza Conflict has been progressing.
