Israel attacks Yemen's Houthi-held Hodeida port in first direct strike by navy
The Israeli navy attacked docks in Yemen's rebel-held port city of Hodeida on Tuesday, likely damaging facilities that are key to aid shipments to the hungry, war-wracked nation. The Israeli military said navy missile ships conducted the strikes, the first time its forces have been involved in attacks against the Houthi rebels. Tuesday's attack comes as the Houthis have repeatedly launched missiles and drones targeting Israel during its war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The Houthis announced the attack via their al-Masirah satellite news channel. They said the attack targeted docks there, without elaborating. Late Monday, Israel issued online warnings to Yemenis to evacuate from Ras Isa, Hodeida and al-Salif ports over the Houthis' alleged use of seaports for attacks. '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 Israeli military said in a statement on Tuesday.

Israeli military issues unprecedented evacuation warning for Yemen's international airport
Israel's military has issued an unprecedented evacuation warning for Yemen's international airport in Sana'a. It marks the first time the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has put out an evacuation warning in Yemen, more than 1,000 miles from Israel. 'Failure to evacuate the area endangers your lives,' Avichay Adraee, the IDF spokesperson in Arabic, said on social media. The warning comes a day after the Israeli military carried out a series of strikes against the port in Yemen's Hodeidah and a nearby cement factory. The Houthi-run Ministry of Health said at least one person had been killed and another 35 injured in an Israeli strike on the factory in Bajil, east of Hodeidah. The IDF strikes came after a Houthi ballistic missile penetrated Israel's air defenses and hit near Tel Aviv's international airport on Sunday. Several attempts to intercept the missile failed, the IDF said. Israel struck Sana'a international airport in December, killing at least three people and injuring 30 others, according to the Houthi-run al-Masirah satellite television network. This is a developing story and will be updated. For more CNN news and newsletters create an account at
