Israeli drones struck on July 21 Yemen’s al-Hodeida port, which is held by the Houthis (Ansar Allah), in response to the group’s recent attacks.
In a statement, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said that the strikes destroyed “military infrastructure of the Houthi terror regime” at the Red Sea port, after attempts were made by the Houthis to repair areas previously targeted by Israel in response to missile and drone attacks.
The targets hit in al-Hodeida included “engineering equipment working to restore port infrastructure, fuel tanks, and vessels used for military activity and [attacks] against the State of Israel and ships in the maritime area near the port,” the military added.
Commenting on the strikes, Defense Minister Israel Katz said that the IDF was “forcefully enforcing any attempt to restore the previously attacked terror infrastructure.”
The “fate of Yemen will be the same as Tehran,” the minister vowed, referring to Israel’s 12-day war against Iran last month.
“The Houthis will pay a heavy price for launching missiles at the State of Israel. We will continue to act at any time and in any place to defend the State of Israel,” he added.
This was the thirteenth time that Israel has attacked Yemen, located some 1,800 kilometers away, since the Houthis began launching attacks in response to the war in the Gaza Strip late in 2023.
Israeli military officials told The Times of Israel that unlike previous attacks, which involved dozens of fighter jets and support aircraft of the Israeli Air Force or warships of the Israeli Navy, the latest strikes were carried out by drones. This shows that the IDF is exploring less costly ways to strike the Houthis, possibly in preparation to step up the rate of attacks on Yemen.
Houthi-affiliated media said that the latest strikes on al-Hodeida hit targets which were struck before. No casualties were reported.
The response of the Houthis came quickly, with the group announcing an attack with five suicide drones on Ben Guiron Airport, Tel Aviv, Eilat, Ramon Airport and Ashdod. No interceptions or impacts were reported by Hebrew media.
“Great Yemen, the Yemen of those who trust in God, has been subjected to brutal aggression over the past months. With God’s help, it has succeeded in confronting it and it remains steadfast in its confrontation. With trust in God, it is prepared to confront any hostile movements in the coming period aimed at preventing it from fulfilling its religious, moral, and humanitarian duty toward the oppressed Palestinian people,” Houthi spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree.
All in all, the latest Israeli strikes have clearly failed to deter the Houthis, like the ones before. This does not mean, however, that Israel will take a step back.

non c’ è speranza per i giudei maledetti, sono pochi, colonialisti (gli ultimi !) occidentali su un territorio piccolo, il loro destino è quello dei regni crociati, ma dureranno di meno e saranno inglobati e distrutti dai popoli palestinesi e arabi , i veri abitati da secoli di quella terra.!
“defense minister israel katz said that the idf was “forcefully enforcing any attempt to restore the previously attacked terror infrastructure.”
the criminal squatter enclave referring to others as “terrorists”, the height of absurdity.
you’d be the expert on absurdity you clown
looks like another ziofreak ran out of adult diapers.
just po its perfectly obvious how fake this comments section is. as if anyone but a couple of trolls and an occasional tourist even ever contribute. 8 billion people and this site, like all the other fakes has its regular workforce of trolls securing it from any outside input and acting like petty minded drop kicks, sub human morons to misrepresent for history the human species.
brigadier general yahya saree knows how to let rip with some inspiring statements.

get the uk view of postmodern paganism from saturn.
actually the pist modern world view of just how successfully they’ve defended the faith. whilst not one pope or king or any authority anywhere has dared to suggest that maybe legalising satanism wasn’t really in the best interests of the christian world or god. not one.
inside australias corporate corruption dr andy schmulow… you tube
the commonwealth of australia, its government is a corporation as is americas government as is almost every single country on earth since the 1930s fascist takeover by rule of corporate law ”
” the moral authority for rule of law is the pope ” barack obama. the lawyer turned president, forced to surrender his law licence for improper cobduct aka criminal acts. as did his lawful partner.
the mitary is under corporate control globally. they’re corporations too like the cops the courts, the medias healthcare, education broadcasting media etc total fascism
even in australia with the royal aussie navy and the royal aussie air force. and the pope is the authority for rule of law he’s the moral author. and he is the post master general of the world including russia they have no privacy. imo allegedly
“in the end days the stench of corruption shall reach all the way to heaven”… “heaven lies between the waters above and the waters beneath” the bible. join the dots.
dr andy pandy, with his bend the knee mantra, take down the government, backed by signs and symbols, so typical of the bore south africans, arrogance, demonstrating jo’s agendas loud and clear is just another despicable typical trolling deceiver imo. just despicable and so transparent. wtf is wrong with people?? rhetorical i know they’re educated and drugged.
