Israel responded to a Houthi missile targeting central Israel with airstrikes on a port city and energy infrastructure in Yemen, killing at least nine people. The Houthis, aligned with Iran, have been targeting Israel with missiles for a year and have also targeted commercial shipping in the Red Sea since the Israel-Hamas war began in October 2023.
Israel carried out airstrikes on a port city and energy infrastructure in Yemen on Thursday after a missile targeting central Israel was shot by the Iran-aligned Houthi rebels in Yemen . The Israel i airstrikes killed at least nine people, local officials told AP, after Israel targeted with fighter jets the port city of Hodeida, the Salif port, and the oil terminal Ras Isa on the Red Sea.
Initially, the group said it would only target Israeli ships and those sailing under flags of Israeli allies but it has since expanded its campaign. An attempt by the U.S. and some European allies to put an end to the attacks has so far failed to produce any results. “After Hamas, Hezbollah and the Assad regime in Syria, the Houthis are almost the last remaining arm of Iran’s axis of evil,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement released Thursday.
