Israeli media reported on Monday that the Israeli Air Force launched a wave of airstrikes across Yemen, targeting the country’s western coast, including the strategic Hodeidah region.

In a notable shift, this latest round of attacks reportedly came without any prior evacuation warning from the Israeli army spokesperson. One Israeli outlet remarked that "there was just a hint of the matter," suggesting only minimal advance notice had been given.

This marks the 12th Israeli aggression on Yemen since the beginning of the broader campaign against the country.

Yemen’s air defenses, operated by the Yemeni Armed Forces, have demonstrated increasing capability in countering repeated attacks. On July 7, the Yemeni Air Force successfully repelled a significant Israeli assault that targeted key port facilities in Hodeidah, Salif, and Ras Isa.

According to military sources speaking to Al Mayadeen, Yemeni forces launched a wave of surface-to-air missiles that disrupted the first wave of incoming Israeli aircraft. As a result, 10 Israeli warplanes were forced to retreat from Yemeni airspace before completing their missions.

Israeli media have begun highlighting shifts in the Israeli military’s operational tactics over Yemen, with the recent decision to abandon Arabic evacuation warnings, once standard practice, signaling a change in both psychological and propaganda strategies.

This evolving pattern of aggression along Yemen’s western coast, marked by intensified Israeli airstrikes and the absence of public warnings, raises concerns of further escalation. It also underscores the growing resilience of Yemeni air defenses as they confront increasingly advanced aerial assaults.
