US EditionIsrael Launches New Round of Strikes Against Houthis in Yemen
- On May 16, 2025, Israel conducted airstrikes targeting the Houthi-held port facilities at Hodeidah and as-Salif in Yemen in retaliation for missile launches aimed at Israeli territory.
- The strikes followed repeated Houthi missile and drone launches since October 2023, despite a recent US-Houthi ceasefire excluding Israel from the truce.
- Israeli leaders Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz vowed to target Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi and described Iran as backing the Houthis’ attacks.
- Israel stated the ports were used by Houthis to transfer weapons and that several missiles had been intercepted following at least 34 projectile launches toward Israel.
- The strikes mark an escalation indicating Israel’s readiness to intensify military pressure on the Houthis to prevent further attacks and degrade their infrastructure.
