Houthis say Israeli strikes on Hodeida port caused $313 million in losses since July, Israel says there will be more
2024-12-23
The heart bleeds.
[IsraelTimes] The Houthi-run Yemeni Transport Ministry and the Red Sea Ports Corporation announces that Israeli strikes on the port city of Hodeida in western Yemen since July have caused $313 million in losses, according to a report by the Turkish state-owned Anadolu news agency.

The Houthi Transport Minister Mohammed Ayash Quhim said in a statement late last week that IDF attacks on the port are a “flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and the generally accepted charters and protocols that criminalize targeting ports.”

Last week, Israeli jets carried out strikes on the Hodeida port — which Israel had struck twice before — and for the first time, in the rebel-held capital Sana’a.

The IDF operation coincided with the Houthis firing a missile that hit a school in central Israel last week.

Israeli military sources said the strikes were aimed at paralyzing all three ports used by the Houthis on the coast of the country. It was the third time Israel has struck Yemen in response to Houthi attacks, including a July strike after a drone killed a civilian in Tel Aviv.

There are going to be more,’ Israeli official tells ToI after strikes on Houthis in Yemen

[IsraelTimes] Days after the IDF carried out intense airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen, an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel, “There are going to be more attacks.”

“Houthis are now the focus,” says the official.
Their turn being in the barrel? How nice.
Yesterday, the US said it struck targets in Yemen’s rebel-held capital, hours after a missile fired by the Iran-backed Houthi rebels struck Tel Aviv, causing injuries.

It’s like an SNL sketch.
