DEVELOPING STORYDEVELOPING STORY,
The Israeli military conducted air strikes on Yemen’s Red Sea port city of Hodeidah in response to a drone attack by the Houthi group that killed one person in Tel Aviv.
The Israeli military launched strikes on Hodeidah after the Houthis claimed responsibility for the Tel Aviv drone attack. The air raids targeted oil storage facilities and a power plant, leading to casualties.
Yemeni officials did not disclose the number of casualties, while the Israeli military stated they hit military targets. The Houthis condemned the attack, accusing Israel of trying to pressure Yemen into stopping support for Gaza.
Hamas also denounced the strike, warning of consequences for Israel. The Iran-allied Houthis have been targeting Red Sea shipping lanes in a bid to halt Israel’s actions in Gaza, launching missiles and drones.
Despite international airstrikes, the Houthis continue their assaults. The recent events may strain the Israeli military, already under pressure with reservists deployed in various regions.
Stay tuned for updates on this developing situation.
