Israel Attack: A day after the deadly drone attack by Houthi rebels on the city of Tel Aviv, Israel retaliated and attacked several targets of the rebel group in western Yemen. The Israeli army gave this information. This appears to be the first attack by Israel on Yemeni soil since the war between Israel and Hamas began in October. The Israeli army said that several of its targets were attacked in the western port city of Hudaydah, considered a stronghold of the Houthis. He said that this action has been taken in response to hundreds of attacks on Israel in recent months.
Fuel storage and power plants targeted
Houthi rebel group spokesman Mohammad Abdulsalam said in a post on the social media platform ‘X’, “There was an ‘Israeli attack’ on Yemen, targeting fuel storage facilities and power plants. Abdulsalam said that Israel wanted to increase the suffering of the people with these attacks. He said that at the same time these attacks were carried out to put pressure on Yemen to stop supporting Gaza. Abdulsalam said that these attacks will make the people of Yemen and its armed forces stronger to support Gaza.
Many deadly attacks will be carried out in response
Mohammad Ali al-Houthi of the Supreme Political Council in Yemen said in a post on ‘X’, “Many deadly attacks will be carried out in response to this.” Al-Masirah TV, a media group controlled by Houthi rebels in Yemen, reported that Israel targeted oil and diesel storage facilities and local power companies at the port, causing several deaths and many were seriously burnt. It reported that the attack caused a fire at the port and disrupted power supply. Health officials in Yemen said that several people were killed and others were injured in the Israeli attack, but they did not give detailed information about it.
