SANAA/JERUSALEM, Sept. 16 (Xinhua) — Israeli warplanes carried out airstrikes on the western Yemeni port city of Hodeida on Tuesday, the Houthi-controlled Al-Masirah TV channel reported. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the attack in a statement shortly after.
Houthi militia spokesman Yahya Saria said on the X social network that “our air defense systems are currently confronting Israeli aircraft that are carrying out aggression against our country.” According to him, the defense systems were able to disrupt the operation of some aircraft, forcing them to leave the area before the strikes, but Saria did not specify which air defense systems were used.
Eyewitnesses in Hodeida said the strikes hit three berths of the port, causing large fires. According to Al-Masirah TV, Israeli aircraft carried out at least 12 strikes. There were no reports of damage or casualties.
The IDF said the target of the attack was a Houthi-controlled infrastructure facility in the port of Hodeida. Defense Minister Israel Katz said the air force carried out the strikes as part of Operation Observer, which is aimed at continuing the sea and air blockade of the Houthis. –0–
