The US-Israeli aggression launched a series of aggressive raids on Al Hudaydah Governorate, targeting several vital sites in the region. Local sources reported that the US-Israeli aggression targeted the port of Al Hudaydah with six airstrikes, partially destroying its infrastructure. This port is a vital facility that witnesses significant commercial and humanitarian shipments to Yemen.

'These attacks are clearly designed to cripple Yemen's economic lifelines,' said a regional analyst familiar with the situation. 'The port is essential for delivering humanitarian aid to a population already suffering from years of war.'
Israeli media confirmed that approximately 30 Israeli warplanes participated in the extensive operation, dropping around 50 missiles on ten strategic targets including the port and adjacent international airport. During the operation.

The Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation (Kan 11) reported that the attack involved a joint Israeli-American operation, with 'Israel' attacking sites in Hodeidah, while the United States attacked other sites.
In contrast, a senior Israeli official said that 'the attack was carried out by Israel alone, in coordination with the United States, and targeted sites in the port of Hodeidah and a large factory used by the Houthis.'
The Israeli aggression action comes amid Yemen's continued support for Palestinians and follows months of escalating regional hostilities. Human rights organizations have expressed concern about the impact on civilians, as the targeted facilities are crucial for Yemen's fragile economy and humanitarian operations.
