"Israeli" navy targets Yemen's Hodeidah port
"Israeli" naval forces launched missile strikes on Yemen's Hodeidah port Tuesday, marking the first time "Israel" has directly attacked the Houthis from the sea, according to the Associated Press (AP). The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) confirmed that its navy conducted the assault, targeting what it described as Houthi-controlled docks used to transport weapons. 'The port is used to transfer weapons and is a further example of the Houthi terrorist regime's cynical exploitation of civilian infrastructure in order to advance terrorist activities,' the IOF said in a statement. The Houthis acknowledged the attack through their Al-Masirah TV channel but did not provide further details. The strike appears to have hit the port infrastructure crucial for humanitarian aid in Hodeidah, the main lifeline for millions of Yemenis reliant on food and supplies amid years of conflict and famine.
