Israel attacks Houthi targets in three Yemeni ports and power plant
Israel has attacked Houthi targets in three Yemeni ports and a power plant, the Israeli military said early on Monday, marking the first Israeli attack on Yemen in almost a month. The strikes on Hodeidah, Ras Isa and Salif ports, and Ras Qantib power plant were due to repeated Houthi attacks on Israel, the military added. Hours after the strikes, the Israeli military said two missiles were launched from Yemen and attempts were made to intercept them, but the results of interception were still under review. The Israeli ambulance service said it had not received any calls regarding missile impacts or casualties following the launches from Yemen. Israel also attacked Galaxy Leader ship in Ras Isa port, which was seized by Houthis in late 2023, the military added on Monday. "The Houthi regime's forces installed a radar system on the ship, and are using it to track vessels in international maritime space, in order to promote the Houthi regime's activities," the military said. The Houthi military spokesperson said following the attacks that Houthis' air defenses confronted the Israeli attack "by using a large number of domestically produced surface-to-air missiles." Residents told Reuters that the Israeli strikes on the Red Sea port city of Hodeidah put the main power station out of service, leaving the city in darkness. Houthi-run Al-Masirah TV reported that Israel launched a series of strikes on Hodeidah, shortly after the Israeli military issued an evacuation warning for people at the three Yemeni ports. The assault comes hours after a ship was attacked off of Hodeidah and the ship's crew abandoned it as it took on water. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but security firm Ambrey said the vessel fits the typical profile of a Houthi target. Reuters

Israeli military strikes Yemen ports after ship attack in Red Sea
The Israeli military launched a wave of strikes on Houthi-controlled ports in Yemen overnight, hours after a ship was attacked in the Red Sea. The Yemeni port city of Hodeidah was struck along with the ports of Ras Isa and Salif and the Ras Al Kathib power station, according to the Houthi-run Al Masirah television station. The Israeli military said that it 'struck and destroyed terror infrastructure belonging to the Houthi terrorist regime'. 'Among the targets were the ports of Hodeida, Ras Isa, and Salif,' it said. It was the Israeli army's first attack on Yemen in about a month. The army also attacked the Galaxy Leader ship docked at Ras Isa port, which was seized by the Houthis in late 2023, it added. 'The Houthi terrorist regime's forces installed a radar system on the ship, and are using it to track vessels in international maritime space, in order to promote the Houthi terrorist regime's activities,' it said. Shortly after Israel's attacks, two missiles were launched from Yemen towards Israel, the army said on Telegram, adding that it was working to intercept them. The strikes came about half an hour after an Israeli army spokesman warned on social media of its attacks. They also came hours after a vessel was attacked in the Red Sea on Sunday by several small boats that opened fire on it including with grenades, according to the UK Maritime Trade Operations. A fire broke out on the Liberian-flagged vessel Magic Seas and the crew were forced to abandon ship, the UKMTO said on social media. A passing merchant vessel rescued all crew members, while the ship remains abandoned. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but security firm Ambrey said the vessel fit the typical profile of a Houthi target. Israel has carried out several strikes in Yemen over recent months in response to missile attacks by the Houthis. The Houthis have been launching missiles and drones at Israel since the Gaza war broke out in October 2023. The Houthis say they are acting in solidarity with the Palestinians. The group have also attacked shipping vessels they deem to be linked to Israel in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden since November 2023. They broadened their campaign to target ships tied to the US and Britain after the two countries began military strikes aimed at securing the waterway in January last year. But in May this year, the Houthis reached a ceasefire with the US that ended weeks of intense American strikes against the group. US President Donald Trump said the rebels had 'capitulated'. Israel was not included in the truce. The Houthis pledged last month to resume attacks in the region after the US entered the Israel-Iran war with strikes on Iranian nuclear targets. Yemeni security sources told The National in June that the rebels were considering renewed attacks on US targets around the Middle East and increasing attacks on Israel in support of Tehran.

Since the start of the war in Gaza in October 2023, the Iran-aligned Houthis have fired at Israel and at shipping in the Red Sea, disrupting global trade, in what it says are acts of solidarity with the Palestinians. Most of the dozens of missiles and drones fired toward Israel have been intercepted or fallen short. Israel has carried out a series of retaliatory strikes.
