  • Yemeni air defenses repel substantial part of Israeli aggression
    Impact of Israeli aggression on the city of Hodeidah, Yemen, on July 6, 2025 (Social media) 

At least 20 Israeli airstrikes struck the city of Hodeidah in Yemen early Monday, Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported, while Yemeni air defenses managed to repel a significant portion of the assault.

The attacks targeted key locations including the ports of Hodeidah, Salif, and Ras Issa, as well as the Ras Qatif power station. Israeli media confirmed that these infrastructures had been hit by Israeli occupation forces on three previous occasions.

Additionally, our correspondent noted that one of the strikes hit the Galaxy Leader vessel, linked to "Israel" and captured by the Yemeni Armed Forces on November 19, 2023.

In a related statement, Israeli Security Minister Israel Katz declared that Israeli forces are “vigorously attacking” targets at Yemeni ports, the Ras Qatif power plant, and the Galaxy Leader ship.

Yemeni air defenses repel major part of Israeli aggression

Israeli media outlets reported that 53 projectiles were used in the operation, while our correspondent revealed that the Yemeni Armed Forces worked to repel the aggression, thwarting a substantial part of it.

Yemeni military sources told Al Mayadeen that air defenses launched the first wave of surface-to-air missiles, forcing 10 Israeli aircraft out of Yemeni airspace before they could carry out their attacks.

Sources also revealed that Israeli warplanes had to turn back and were not able to execute planned strikes on other Yemeni governorates.

At around 3:45 am (local time), two missiles were launched from Yemen toward Israeli targets in occupied Palestine. The missiles were reportedly intercepted by Israeli occupation forces, sounding sirens in several areas in the southern occupied West Bank and near the Dead Sea.

Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), Nasruddin Amer, said that operations in support of Gaza "will not cease until the aggression stops and the blockade is lifted," in a post on X. 

"The Zionist aggression has not and will not be able to stop the Yemeni strikes deep inside its territory," Amer explained. 

"Not a single ship will pass through our armed forces' area of ​​operations," he added.

Meanwhile, Brigadier General Saree stressed that the Yemeni Armed Forces are "fully prepared and capable" of confronting the Israeli aggressors.

He stressed that the Israeli attacks will not affect Yemeni military capabilities, emphasizing that the country's support for Palestine "will continue at a high pace."
