Israeli navy attacks rebel-held Yemeni port city of Hodeida, a first in the conflict
- On Tuesday morning, the Israeli navy launched seaborne strikes targeting docks in the Houthi-controlled Yemeni port city of Hodeida.
- The attack responded to repeated Houthi missile and drone attacks on Israel following Hamas' October 7, 2023 assault, amid a decade-long stalemate in Yemen's war.
- Two Israeli navy missile boats fired long-range precision missiles to disrupt the port’s military use, which also serves as a critical entry point for humanitarian aid to millions in Yemen.
- Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz cautioned that Israel's reach extends widely through both aerial and maritime channels and threatened a strong retaliation, including a naval and air blockade, if attacks persist, while U.S. Navy vessels navigated nearby waters without incident.
- The strikes marked Israel’s first naval assault against the Houthis and signal potential for further operations, though how the Houthis will respond remains unclear.
