Israeli military strikes several Houthi targets in Yemen

The Israel army says it has struck several Houthi targets in western Yemen following a fatal drone attack by the rebel group in Tel Aviv on Friday.

A number of “military targets” were hit in the western port city of Hodeidah, a Houthi stronghold, the Israeli army said, adding that its attack was “in response to the hundreds of attacks carried out against the state of Israel in recent months.”

Houthi spokesman Mohammed Abdulsalam wrote on social media platform X that Yemen was subjected to a “blatant Israeli aggression” that targeted fuel storage facilities and the province’s power station.
