CAIRO – Six strikes targeted Yemen’s Hodeidah port, the Houthi-affiliated Al Masirah TV reported on Monday, blaming the strikes on Israel and the United States a day after the Iran-aligned Houthis fired a missile that struck near Israel’s main airport.
There was no immediate official comment from Israel or the U.S. Axios reporter Barak Ravid cited a senior U.S. official as saying Israel had attacked Yemen in coordination with Washington.
Israeli media including channel 12 also cited a senior Israeli official who they said confirmed Israel was attacking Yemen.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday vowed to retaliate for the attack by the Houthis, who have been firing at Israel and at shipping in the Red Sea in what they say is solidarity with the Palestinians.
Most attacks from Yemen have been intercepted by Israel’s missile defence systems, though a drone strike hit Tel Aviv last year. Sunday’s missile was the first known to have escaped being intercepted of a series of missiles fired since March.
