The Israeli army said on Monday that during the first attack on Yemen in a month, Houthi hit targets in three Yemeni ports and power plant.
According to the Reuters report, the ports of the Hodeidah, Ras ISA and Salif, as well as the Ras Qantib power plant, hit the coast, in response to repeated Houthi attacks on Israel, the army said.
A few hours later, two missiles started from Yemen, Israel said. While they tried to capture missiles, the results were still reviewed. Iranian forces Houthi said they fired missiles and drones on more goals in Israel in retaliation measures for strikes on Yemen.
The Israeli army told residents to evacuate three ports before the start of the attacks. The inhabitants of Hodeidah told Reuters that the strikes at the power plant had knocked out electricity. There was no immediate information about losses.
Houthis’s attacks on Israel
Since the beginning of the Gaza War in October 2023, Houthis fired Israel and Red Sea transport, which disrupted global trade, in what the group says are acts of solidarity with Palestinians.
Most of dozens of missiles and drones fired towards Israel were captured or did not reach. Israel has made a number of retaliatory strikes, Reuters said.
Israel said his attacks on Monday also focused on the ship, the leader of the galaxy, which was confiscated at the end of 2023 and took place in the port of Ras Isa.
“The forces of the Houthi terrorist regime installed a radar system on the ship and use it to monitor vessels in the international maritime space to promote the activities of the terrorist regime of Houthi,” the army said.
Military spokesman Houthi said the group’s defense responded to the Israeli attack “by a large number of domestic missiles on the domestic surface”.

The Israeli attack comes a few hours after the ship was attacked from Hodeidah and the ship’s crew left it as it took over the water. Nobody immediately requested responsibility for the attack, but the security company Ambrey said that the vessel corresponds to the typical Houthi goal profile, the report added.
Houthis, who dominate the northern Yemen, including the capital of Sanaa, are one of the last pro-Iranian armed groups still standing in the Middle East after Israel seriously injured other ally Tehran: Lebanon’s Hizbalh, Palestinian militant group Hamas and Iran itself.
Under the leadership of the leader Abdul Malik Al-Houthi, the group grew into the army of tens of thousands of fighters and won armed drones and ballistic missiles. Saudi Arabia and the West claim that weapons come from Iran, even if Tehran denies it.
