Israël bombards Jemeni Port City after Houthi Missile hit Aviv Airport nearby

Israeli fighter jets flew more than 1000 miles to hit the port city of Hudaydah in western Yemen on Monday, after Houthi militants a ballistic rocket that landed near the most important international airport of Israel this weekend.

There were no immediate reports of victims.

The Israeli strike was the newest tit-for-tat volley between Israel and the Houthis, the armed group supported by Iran who controls many of the northwest of Yemen. The Houthi’s missiles and drones have been shooting in Israel for more than a year, in what they call a solidarity campaign with Palestinians in Gaza.

Israel, the United States and Great Britain, in addition to other countries, the militants have repeatedly bombed in an attempt to force them to stop his attacks. The Houthis have also attacked and threatened ships, both commercially and militarily, cross the Red Sea as part of an alleged attempt to block Israel, although many of the ships had preliminary Israeli ties.

On Sunday morning, a Houthi-Ballist rocket avoided Israel’s multi-layered air defenses before he fell near Ben-Gurion International Airport, which is just outside the coastal town of Tel Aviv. Israeli leaders promised to respond quickly with violence.

On Monday evening, the Israeli army began to bomb goals in Hudaydah, with aircraft that hit the harbor – the army of which said it “a main source of income for the Houthi regime” – as well as a concrete factory east of the city. The port is the most important management of food, fuel and help to enter impoverished North Jemen, where more than 20 million people live.

Despite months of retriation capacity and ballistic rocket attacks, neither Israel nor the Houthis have achieved their declared goals. The Houthis have promised to keep shooting at Israel until the end of the Israeli campaign against Hamas in Gaza, that Israel seems ready to escalate.

Some Israeli military analysts have argued that the options to subject the distant enemy of the country are limited, even with international support.

President Trump has performed the American military campaign against the Houthis, which started under the Biden government. Mr. Trump has sworn that the group will be ‘completely destroyed’ and has tightened the American sanctions against the militia. He also redesigned the group as a ‘foreign terrorist organization’.

American officials have offered little public information about recent American operations against the Houthis. But Houthi officials have said that the American strikes have killed a large number of citizens. However, the toll could not be verified independently, because the Houthis have a tight grip on the stream of information from areas under their swing.

In April, an American strike focused on the port of Ras Isa, an important fuel depot in Hudaydah, in which at least 74 people were killed and more than 150 others were injured, said Anes al-AsbahiA spokesperson for the Houthi-Run Ministerie of Health. He identified many as civil port employees.
