Hodeidah: ******* targets Houthis in Yemen, ******** four, wounding 33 and destroying a key port

The Middle East is on edge as more countries and groups are further drawn into the intensifying blows in the troubled region.

******* launched ****** at Houthi targets in Yemen in response to missiles fired by the Iran-aligned rebels at ******* in recent days.

The ******** strikes ******* at least four people and wounded 33, the Houthi-run Health Ministry said in a statement, and residents said the ******** had caused power outages in most parts of the port city of Hodeidah.

*******’s defence minister, Yoav Gallant, warned that “no place is too far” for the military to strike.

“I visited the IAF (******** Air Force) command and control room, where I followed the strike conducted against the Houthi ********** organisation.

“Our message is clear – for us, no place is too far.”

*******’s military said in a statement that dozens of aircraft, including fighter jets, had attacked power plants and a sea port in Hodeidah and the port of Ras Issa.

Footage of a fiery ********** in Yemen quickly circulated on social media showing the destruction from the targeted strikes.

It was the second such ******** ******* on Yemen this year.

In July, ******** warplanes struck Houthi military targets near Hodeidah after a Yemeni drone hit Tel Aviv and ******* one man.

“Over the past year, the Houthis have been operating under the direction and funding of Iran, and in co-operation with Iraqi militias in order to ******* the State of *******, undermine regional stability, and disrupt global freedom of navigation,” the military statement said.

Yemen’s Houthi militants have repeatedly fired missiles and drones at ******* in what they say is solidarity with Palestinians, since the Gaza war began with a ****** ******* on ******* on October 7.

In their latest *******, the Houthis said they had launched a ballistic missile on Saturday towards the Ben Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv, which ******* said it had intercepted.

******* intercepted another Houthi missile on Friday.

In a post on X, Mohammed Abdulsalam, a spokesman for the Houthis, said Sunday’s ******** strikes would not cause the group to “abandon Gaza and Lebanon”.

The Houthis had taken precautionary measures ahead of the strikes, emptying oil storages in the ports, another Houthi spokesman, Nasruddin Ammer, said.

Iran condemned the ******** strikes, saying they had targeted civilian infrastructure, and President Masoud Pezeshkian said ******* should not be allowed to ******* countries in the Iran-aligned “Axis of Resistance” one after the other.

The Houthi movement earlier mourned Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah following his ****** in an ******** air strike in Beirut.

The strikes in Yemen took place as ******* attacked more targets in Lebanon, where its intensifying bombardment over two weeks has ******* a string of top Hezbollah leaders and driven hundreds of thousands of people from their homes.

******* vowed to keep up its ********.

“It has lost its head, and we need to keep hitting Hezbollah hard,” *******’s military chief of staff Herzi Halevi said.

Lebanon’s Health Ministry said ******** strikes on Sunday had ******* 32 people in Ain Deleb in the south and 21 people in Baalbek-Hermel in the east and that 14 medics had been ******* in air strikes over the past two days.

******** drones hovered over Beirut overnight and for much of Sunday, with the loud blasts of new air strikes echoing around the Lebanese capital.

******* rapidly ramped up its attacks on Hezbollah two weeks ago with the declared goal of making northern areas safe for residents to return to their homes, ******** much of the group’s leadership.

*******’s defence minister is now discussing widening the offensive.
