Israel's navy conducted its first strikes on Houthi-controlled docks in Yemen's Hodeida port city, a significant military action amid ongoing tensions since the Gaza conflict commenced in October 2023. The Houthis, aligned with Iran, have been targeting Israel with missiles and drones as gestures of solidarity with Palestinians. Israel warned Yemenis to evacuate key ports over concerns they were being used for military purposes, underscoring the threat posed by Houthi actions. Israeli officials have threatened a blockade in response to ongoing attacks against their nation, further escalating the conflict and jeopardizing humanitarian efforts in the region.
The port is used to transfer weapons and is a further example of the Houthi terrorist regime's cynical exploitation of civilian infrastructure in order to advance terrorist activities.
We warned the Houthi terror organization that if they continue to fire at Israel they will face a powerful response and enter a naval and air blockade.
