Yemen Monitor/Newsroom:
Houthi media outlets announced that the port of Hudaidah in western Yemen was subjected to an Israeli attack, while the Israeli army announced the start of an air force attack on the port hours after issuing an urgent warning to evacuate the port in preparation for its bombardment.
For his part, the military spokesperson for the Houthis claimed that air defenses are currently confronting Israeli planes launching an aggression on Yemen.
Meanwhile, Israel’s Channel 12, citing an Israeli source, indicated that the purpose of the raid is to disable the port of Hudaidah for several additional weeks.
The Israeli occupation army had issued an “urgent warning” today, Tuesday, to evacuate the port of Hudaidah in western Yemen of all people and anchored ships. It threatened to bomb it within the next few hours.
The Israeli military spokesperson, Avichay Adraee, said in a post on the X platform, accompanied by a map, that the Israeli army will attack “in the next few hours in the area specified on the map” in light of the military activities carried out by the Houthi group.
On Monday, the Houthi group announced that it had attacked “Israel” with four drones.
Last Thursday, the Israeli army launched raids on several sites in Yemen, including the capital Sana’a, which resulted in the death of at least 46 people, according to the toll issued by the Houthi-affiliated Ministry of Health.
