Israel launches airstrikes on Yemen a day after Houthi rebels strike Israeli airport

On Monday, Israel launched airstrikes involving more than 20 fighter jets targeting Houthi positions in Yemen's Red Sea port city of Hodeida.
The strikes followed a missile attack by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels on Sunday's Ben-Gurion International Airport, which briefly halted flights and commuter traffic.
The airstrikes struck several locations, including the vital port of Hodeida and a manufacturing plant producing cement in the Bajil area, situated 55 kilometers northeast of Hodeida city, causing at least one fatality and injuring 35 people.
The Israeli military stated the strikes targeted "Houthi terrorist" positions with over 50 munitions dropped, and local reports described strong explosions with flames and smoke over the port area.
The attacks left around 70% of Hodeida port's capacity incapacitated and signal ongoing escalation, as the Houthis warned they will continue targeting Israeli airports and shipping routes until the Gaza war ends.
