In a significant escalation of military action, the Israeli navy has conducted its first strikes against the Houthi-controlled port city of Hodeidah in Yemen. This unprecedented naval attack comes after a series of missile threats targeting Israel, prompting the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to respond decisively. The strikes targeted key docks and infrastructure, raising concerns about potential naval and air blockades against the Houthis. The Israeli military described the operation as a new phase in their campaign against Houthi forces, emphasizing the need to protect national security. In light of the attacks, Israeli authorities have advised citizens to evacuate Houthi-controlled ports. The Houthis have defiantly responded to the strikes, indicating that the recent assaults will not deter their military objectives.
