Israel’s air force has delivered a series of strikes on the city of Hodeidah in Yemen, attacking facilities of the rebel Houthi movement Ansar Allah, reported from TASS.

According to Al Jazeera, the sea port was the main target where one of the oil reservoirs caught fire. Houthi-owned Al Masirah and Saba also reported the attacks on the port.

Al Mayadeen reported that Israeli aviation had delivered over 10 strikes on the Yemeni port. According to it, the strikes were also delivered on Hodeidah’s international airport which has been defunct since 2015 but may be used as a Houthi military base. Additionally, Israeli aviation attacked electric power stations near Al Hali and Ras Kutib, Saba reported.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed delivering strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen. This is Israel’s second attack on Hodeidah since the situation escalated in the Middle East. Israeli aviation attacked the Yemeni sea port on July 20, following a Houthi drone attack on Tel Aviv.
