Israeli Israeli strikes controlled by Hoda Hedada port

Israeli naval ships have set targets in the Houdiada city of Yemen, which is controlled by Houthi.

The Israeli army said in a statement that the strikes were carried out in response to the Houthi missiles targeting Israel and were aiming to stop using the port “for military purposes.”

There were no immediate reports on losses.

The photos posted on social media showed black columns of smoke that rises from the port, as the Houthi TV reported two separate harmful.

The Houthis regularly fired rockets in Israel in solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza. On Thursday, a Houthi missile was intercepted over Jerusalem, while one last month hit the lands of the main Israel Airport.

Hoda strikes, which were unusually carried out by naval ships instead of aircraft, were conducted in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) issued evacuation warnings earlier to all those present at the Hoda Port, as well as other Houthi ports from RAS ISA and Salif.

The Arab spokesman at IDF Avichay Adrae wrote on X.

Nasruddin Amer, Vice -Chairman of the Houthi Information Office, wrote on X that the attack had no significant impact on the group’s operations.

“It has no effect even on the morale of our people, who move to the streets per week … in support of Gaza,” he wrote.

Hudaydah port, the main entry point for food and other humanitarian aid to millions of Yemenis, was the goal of several Israeli strikes last year.

Last month, one person was killed in an Israeli strike. Israeli officials said the strike would put the work port for about a month.

Iran -backed Houthi Group has taken control of many northwestern Yemen since 2014, when they toppled the internationally recognized government from the capital, SANA, and sparked a devastating civil war.

The Houthis began attacking the ships that pass through the Red Sea in solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza after the Israeli army launched an attack there in response to the Hamas Palestinian Armed Group on Israel in October 2023.

As of November 2023, the Houthis launched dozens of missile attacks and drones on commercial ships – two ships drowned, seized a third and killed four crew members.

The attacks were forced even the major shipping companies to stop using the Red Sea – through which approximately 15 % of the sea transfers by the sea – and to take a much longer road around South Africa instead.

In response, former US President Joe Biden began US air strikes against the group.

This campaign rose after US President Donald Trump took office, until a ceasefire was reached in early May.
