Israel’s military launched another waves of airstrikes late Sunday targeting ports and facilities held by Houthi rebels.
The Israeli military announced that it struck Houthi-held ports at Hodeida, Ras Isa and Salif, as well as the Ras Kanatib power plant.
"These ports are used by the Houthi terrorist regime to transfer weapons from the Iranian regime, which are employed to carry out terrorist operations against the state of Israel and its allies,” an Israeli military’s spokesperson said.
The Israeli military also said it struck the Galaxy Leader, a vehicle-carrying vessel that the Houthis seized back in November 2023 when they began their attacks in the Red Sea corridor over the Israel-Hamas war.
"Houthi forces installed a radar system on the ship and have been using it to track vessels in the international maritime arena to facilitate further terrorist activities,” the Israeli military said.
The Houthi rebels acknowledged the strikes, but offered no damage assessment from the attack.
Israel has repeatedly attacked Houthi rebels’ areas in Yemen, including a naval strike in June. Both Israel and the United States have struck ports in the area in the past - including an American attack that killed 74 people in April - but Israel is now acting alone in attacking the rebels as they continue to fire missiles at Israel.
The Houthi rebels have been launching missile and drone attacks against commercial and military ships in the region in what their leader has described as an effort to end Israel’s offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
