Israel conducts air strike on Houthi-controlled Hodeidah port

The IDF launched a massive strike today (Friday) against the piers of the Houthi-occupied Hodeidah port in Yemen, disabling their functioning for a month.

According to the IDF statement:

"A short while ago, the IDF struck and dismantled terrorist infrastructure sites belonging to the Houthi terrorist regime in the Hudaydah and Salif Ports in Yemen."

"These ports are used to transfer weapons and are a further example of the Houthi terrorist regime's systematic and cynical exploitation of civilian infrastructure in order to advance terrorist activities."

"The strikes were conducted after numerous advanced warnings issued by the IDF to the population in the area in order to mitigate the risk of harm to civilian population in the areas of these sites. Any hostile activity in these ports will continue to be prevented."

"Over the past year and a half, the Houthi terrorist regime has been operating under Iranian direction and funding in order to harm the State of Israel and its allies, undermining regional stability and disrupting global freedom of navigation."

"In light of the Houthi terrorist regime's use of these ports for terrorist activity, the IDF continues to warn individuals in the area of the ports to evacuate."

"The IDF is determined to continue to operate against threats posed to Israeli civilians, at any distance required."
