Houthis strike Israeli sites in retaliation for Hodeida attack, vow escalation
ALBAWABA- The Houthi-led Yemeni Armed Forces announced on Sunday, July 21, the launch of a new aerial attack targeting multiple sites in Israel, in retaliation for recent Israeli strikes on Yemen's Hodeida port and in solidarity with the people of Gaza. Also Read Israel struck Hodeida port in Yemen According to a statement by Houthi military spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the operation targeted five Israeli locations, including Ben Gurion Airport, Ramon Airport, and the port of Umm al-Rashrash, using five drones. Saree claimed the strikes achieved their objectives 'successfully, by the grace of God.' بيان القوات المسلحة اليمنية بشأن تنفيذ عملية عسكرية نوعية استهدفت خمسة أهداف للعدو الصهيوني في فلسطين المحتلة منها مطارا اللد ورامون وميناء أم الرشراش، وذلك بخمس طائرات مسيرة وقد حققت العملية أهدافها بنجاح بفضل الله. بتاريخ21_7_2025م — العميد يحيى سريع (@army21yemen) July 21, 2025 The spokesperson described the operation as both a response to what he called 'Israeli aggression on Yemen' and a contribution to the wider resistance in support of Palestinians in Gaza. Saree further warned that attacks would intensify if Israeli military actions against Yemen continue or if the blockade on Gaza is not lifted. He stressed that these strikes are part of a broader deterrence strategy. The escalation comes just hours after the Israeli military announced it had conducted airstrikes on the Red Sea port city of Hodeida. According to Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz, the strikes were aimed at dismantling 'terror infrastructure' used by the Houthi forces and to prevent any attempt to rebuild previously destroyed military assets. The Israeli military stated it had hit military infrastructure and naval vessels used by the Houthis, reinforcing what it described as a firm policy to curb regional threats emanating from Yemen. This latest exchange marks a significant intensification of the cross-regional conflict, linking the ongoing war in Gaza to retaliatory operations by actors across the Middle East, including the Houthis in Yemen, who have increasingly positioned themselves as part of a broader axis resisting western-backed Israeli military actions.
