Israeli military targets in Yemen's Hodeidah Port
Shafaq News - Hodeidah The Israeli military announced on Monday that it had carried out airstrikes targeting what it described as 'military infrastructure' used by Yemen's Houthi forces in the port city of Hodeidah. According to an official statement, the strikes destroyed engineering equipment involved in rebuilding port infrastructure, fuel barrels, and naval assets allegedly used in hostile activities against Israel and commercial vessels near the port. The Israeli Army also reported hitting other facilities it said were linked to Houthi military operations. "The Houthis have been using the port of Hodeidah to transfer weapons from the Iranian regime, which are then used to carry out terrorist attacks against Israel and its allies," the statement read. The military claimed it had observed attempts to reconstruct what it called "terrorist infrastructure" at the port, prompting the latest strike. #عاجل 🔴 جيش الدفاع هاجم أهدافًا عسكرية للنظام الحوثي الارهابي في ميناء الحديدة⭕️هاجم جيش الدفاع ودمر بنى تحتية عسكرية للنظام الحوثي الارهابي في ميناء الحديدية. من بين البنى التحتية المستهدفة آليات هندسية تعمل لاعمار بنى الميناء وبراميل وقود وقطع بحرية تستخدم لأنشطة عسكرية… — افيخاي ادرعي (@AvichayAdraee) July 21, 2025 This marks the 12th Israeli strike on Yemeni territory since the outbreak of the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

Arrest of pro-Houthi tribal sheikh sparks armed clashes, shuts down Yemen-Oman border
Published July 8th, 2025 - 05:33 GMT Al-Zaidi, a senior tribal leader from Khawlan area, Sana'a governorate, was reportedly attempting to cross into Oman for medical treatment in Jordan when he was detained by Saudi-backed government forces. ALBAWABA- The arrest of prominent pro-Houthi tribal figure Sheikh Mohammed Ahmed Al-Zaidi at the Sarafit border crossing between Yemen and Oman has triggered an unprecedented wave of tension in Al-Mahra, a governorate ruled by the internationally recognized Yemeni government. Also Read Two Missing, two injured after ship attacked off Yemen Al-Zaidi, a senior tribal leader from Khawlan area, Sana'a governorate, was reportedly attempting to cross into Oman for medical treatment in Jordan when he was detained by Saudi-backed government forces. The arrest immediately sparked an ambush by armed men believed to be affiliated with the "Sit-in Committee," led by the influential and anti-coalition tribal leader Sheikh Ali Salem Al-Harizi. #المهره_اليومتم القاء القبض على القيادي الحوثيمحمد احمد علي الزايدي - عضو المكتب السياسي لجماعة الحوثي الارهابيةاثناء محاولته التسلل من منفذ صرفيت الحدودي مع سلطنة عمان وعقب اعتقاله شنت مجموعة مسلحة تتبع القيادي الحوثي هجوم على قوات الجيش والامن اسفر عن مقتل ضابط وجرح اخرين — عمـر الـسـلـيمي (@alsulimi21) July 8, 2025 As a military convoy of 10 vehicles departed from Al-Ghayda to transfer Al-Zaidi, it was ambushed en route to Sarafit. The resulting clashes killed Brigadier General Abdullah bin Zayed, the mission commander, and injured several soldiers. The confrontation also led to the complete shutdown of the Sarafit-Ghayda road, Al-Mahra's main international route to Oman. Tensions escalated further as the Houthis reportedly set up new checkpoints along the route, and armed tribal groups seized strategic highlands to block government reinforcements. Field sources confirmed that the road remains closed, and the detained tribal sheikh has not yet been transferred from the Sarafit area due to ongoing armed resistance. Rashad Al-Alimi, head of the Presidential Leadership Council, internationally recognized, convened an emergency meeting in Al-Mahra with defense and local officials to address the deteriorating security and discuss service restoration, project progress, and climate recovery efforts. Despite government efforts, the situation remains volatile. Local sources report that Omani officials may be mediating to prevent further escalation, as fears grow that loyalist tribes, especially those aligned with Sheikh Al-Harizi and sympathetic to Al-Zaidi, may expand the conflict. Critics argue the arrest risks dragging Al-Mahra, long considered a neutral and safe zone for patients and travelers, into the broader Yemen conflict. The area has until now largely remained outside the direct fighting, and many view this arrest as a dangerous shift toward militarizing one of Yemen's last functioning humanitarian corridors. © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (
