The Israeli military on early Monday confirmed carrying out airstrikes on several ports in Yemen, targeting sites linked to the Houthi group.
The strikes hit the ports of Hodeidah, Ras Issa, Al-Salif, and the Ras Qantib power plant.
In a post on social media platform X, the IDF wrote: “IAF jets, guided by intelligence, struck Houthi terror targets at the ports of Al Hudaydah, Ras Isa, Salif, and the Ras Kanatib Power Plant... The IDF will continue to act against threats to Israeli civilians—wherever required.”
According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the attacks were in response to repeated Houthi assaults on Israel, including the launching of drones and missiles. The IDF also accused the Houthis of threatening global shipping by attacking commercial vessels passing through the Red Sea.
One of the key targets was the merchant ship "Galaxy Leader", which the IDF said had been seized by the Houthis in 2023 and equipped with radar systems to track ships in international waters. The Israeli military claimed the ship was being used to support "terror operations" at sea.
The Ras Qantib power plant was also hit, with Israel saying it was being used to support military activities.
