BREAKINGBREAKING,
The attack comes a day after a Houthi drone attack that killed one person in Tel Aviv.
Several air strikes have hit Yemen’s coastal city of Hodeidah, the Houthi-affiliated Al-Masirah TV has reported, attributing the attack to Israel.
The air strikes on Saturday come a day after Yemen’s Houthi group claimed responsibility for a drone attack that killed one person in Tel Aviv.
Al-Masirah TV said the attack targeted oil storage facilities and a power plant in Hodeidah, igniting a fire in the area. The news outleted cited the health officials as saying that the air raids resulted in casualties, including fatalities, without specifying a number.
The Iran-allied Houthis, who present themselves as the country’s official armed forces, have been targeting shipping lanes in the Red Sea in a campaign that they say aims to pressure Israel to end its war on Gaza.
The group has also launched ballistic missiles and drones at Israel, most of which have been intercepted.
But early on Friday, an explosive-laden Houthi drone eluded Israeli air defences and struck a building in Tel Aviv in what was seen as a major security breach in Israel.
Israeli officials have vowed to respond to the attack. Defence Minister Yoav Gallant vowed that Israel “will settle the score” with anyone who harms its security in a message to the Houthis.
The United States and United Kingdom have been conducting air strikes in Yemen for months in response to the Houthis’ Red Sea assaults. But the military campaign has failed to stop the Yemeni group’s attacks.
