Israeli airstrikes on a Yemeni port led to at least three deaths and numerous injuries, according to Huthi rebels. This retaliation came after a drone attack on Tel Aviv claimed the life of an Israeli citizen. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended the strikes as a response to Huthi aggression.
For the first time, Israel targeted Yemen, focusing on military and civilian sites in Hodeidah Port. The Huthi-run Al Masirah TV reported casualties and widespread damage.
Huthi officials condemned the strikes as part of Israeli aggression, while Israel emphasized the need to protect its citizens and respond to threats. International responses and tensions in the region continue to escalate as the conflict unfolds.
The situation remains volatile as both sides brace for further confrontations, adding a layer of complexity to the already tense Middle East dynamics.
