Israeli army warns of possible strikes on Yemen’s Houthi ports, Israeli Navy does the deed in Hodeidah
|
[GEO.TV] The Israeli military's Arabic spokesperson urged the evacuation of the Houhti-controlled Yemeni ports of Ras Isa, Hodeidah and Salif, in an X post on Monday.
The Iran-aligned Houthi group and Israel have been exchanging attacks since October 7, 2023, as the Yemeni group vowed to target Israel in what it says is support of Palestinians in Gaza during the war with Israel.

Israeli Navy attacking Houthi targets in Yemen
[Ynet] Strikes follow an evacuation warning it issued Monday for the ports of Ras Issa, Hodeidah and Salif, citing their use by the Houthis for military purposes
For the first time since the start of the war, the Israeli Navy carried out its strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen early Tuesday, targeting piers at the Red Sea port of Hodeidah, a stronghold of the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, according to media reports in Yemen.
The strikes followed an evacuation warning it issued Monday for the ports of Ras Issa, Hodeidah and Salif, citing their use by the Houthis for military purposes. Unlike previous attacks in Yemen, the Israeli Air Force did not participate in the operation.
“Due to the use of sea ports by the Houthi terrorist regime for terrorist activity, we call on all those present at these ports to evacuate and distance themselves until further notice, for their own safety,” the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesperson said in a statement.
The last known Israeli strike in Yemen took place about two weeks ago, when the air force targeted the airport in the capital, Sanaa, in an operation known as “Golden Jewel.” Defense Minister Israel Katz said at the time that the attack destroyed the last aircraft used by the Houthis.
The Houthis, who have launched dozens of missiles and drones at Israel since the start of the war in Gaza, fired another missile toward Israel on Monday. The projectile did not reach Israeli territory and no sirens were activated. The most recent Houthi attack to trigger alarms came last Thursday, when a ballistic missile was intercepted over Jerusalem during protests in the capital and Tel Aviv.
Shortly after that launch, the Houthis claimed responsibility and said the missile had been aimed at Ben-Gurion International Airport. A spokesperson for the group said the strike was in response to Israeli military actions in Gaza and southern Beirut.
