A new US airstrike targeted the area of Rass Issa in al-Salif District, northwest of the coastal city of Hodeidah, located on the Red Sea coast in western Yemen, as confirmed by Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Yemen.
This marks the second aggression against Yemen yesterday, as our correspondent earlier reported a joint attack by the United States and the United Kingdom targeting al-Tuhayta District in Hodeidah.
This attack comes days after the two allies carried out over 10 strikes between Thursday and Friday last week, targeting several areas across Yemen.
Among the targeted areas were the Rass Issa area in al-Salif District, al-Shabakah area, south of al-Salif port, the Jabbanah area, north of Hodeidah city, and the Taif area, in al-Durayhimi District, west of Yemen.
Earlier on Tuesday, the leader of Ansar Allah affirmed, on the 130th day of the Israeli aggression on Gaza, that the movement remains committed to the stance it took in support of the Palestinian people, adding that, contrary to expectations, it tends to escalate its naval actions.
He emphasized that the Yemeni Armed Forces' (YAF) naval campaign is "effective and impactful."
"The mother of terrorism, the roots of terrorism, and the source of terrorism is the Zionist lobby and its three arms, the triad of evil, Israel, America, and Britain," Sayyed al-Houthi underlined.
The Yemeni leader revealed in this context that not a single ship affiliated with the Israeli occupation passed through the Red Sea in recent weeks, saying that this is "an important accomplishment and a victory over the Israeli-American-British trio."
Yemeni Armed Forces target US ship Star Iris
Yemeni Armed Forces (YAS) Spokesperson, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced in a brief military statement on Monday that American bulk carrier Star Iris was targeted in the Red Sea with several naval missiles, confirming that it was hit directly.
According to the statement, this operation comes in solidarity with the people of Palestine and in response to the US-British aggression against Yemen.
The Yemeni Armed Forces confirmed that they would continue operations to prevent Israeli ships or ships heading to the ports of occupied Palestine until the aggression against the Gaza Strip stops.
Saree said Yemen's forces will not hesitate to carry out more operations in response to the Zionist crimes against people in the Gaza Strip.
