Yemeni media reported on Tuesday morning that the city of Hodeida was hit by intense Israeli airstrikes.
According to Al-Masirah TV, which is affiliated with the Houthis, Israel carried out air raids on Hodeida, though no further details were provided.
This attack followed a statement by the Israeli military spokesperson on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday evening, urging the evacuation of Yemen’s Ras Isa, Hodeida, and Salif ports, which are controlled by the Houthis.
Previously, the Israeli military had described the infrastructure targeted in Hodeida as a key revenue source for the Houthi leadership, alleging that the port is used to transport Iranian weapons, military equipment, and additional supplies.
Despite the Israeli strikes on Yemen, the Houthis continue to launch missiles toward Israel, claiming their attacks aim to support Palestinians in Gaza. Meanwhile, the group has reportedly agreed to halt attacks on U.S. ships.
Since the outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas in October 2023, the Houthis have launched dozens of missile and drone attacks targeting Israel. However, most of these attacks have been intercepted or failed to reach their targets.
