The Israeli army conducted airstrikes on Houthi targets in western Yemen in response to a drone attack in Tel Aviv. This marked the first Israeli strikes on Yemeni soil since the Israel-Hamas war began. The IDF stated that the strikes were a response to the numerous attacks on Israel in recent months. The Houthi spokesman condemned the Israeli aggression, saying it was an attempt to pressure Yemen to stop supporting Gaza. However, he stated that the attacks will only strengthen Yemen’s resolve to support Gaza. The Supreme Political Council in Yemen warned of impactful strikes in response. Reports from Al-Masirah TV indicated that the strikes caused deaths, injuries, and severe burns. A large fire at the port and widespread power cuts were also reported. The situation is ongoing and updates are expected.
