The Israeli military carried out Tuesday airstrikes on the coastal province of Hodeidah in western Yemen, targeting the docks of Hodeidah Port, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.
Israeli Navy attacks Yemen in first
Israeli media claimed that the Israeli Navy attacked Yemeni ports for the first time, describing the strike in Yemen as distinct from previous operations.
The media also noted that this marks the tenth Israeli strike on Yemen since the outset of the war on Gaza.
Later, the Israeli occupation military confirmed in a statement that Israeli Navy missile boats launched strikes at the port of Hodeidah.
Katz threatens Yemen with naval, aerial blockade
Israeli Security Minister Israel Katz warned Sanaa that "if they continue to shoot at Israel, they will face a powerful response and be under a naval and aerial blockade."
"This is what we did today, and we will continue to do so in the future," he added.
On May 28, "Israel" launched airstrikes on Sanaa International Airport, roughly 10 days after it resumed operations with four flights to and from Amman, Jordan, following an Israeli strike earlier in May.
Despite repeated Israeli attacks, the Yemeni Armed Forces have continued launching operations deep inside the occupied Palestinian territory against Israeli targets in support of Gaza and its Resistance.
These operations have targeted Ben Gurion Airport and other critical Israeli sites, with Yemeni forces affirming that such strikes will persist as long as the Israeli war against the Palestinian people in Gaza continues.
