The Israeli military on Saturday staged large-scale air raid on the Yemeni port city of Hodeidah, resulting to a massive fire at the port’s oil terminal and other facilities.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in a statement described first ever strikes as a response to attacks on Israeli-linked civilian vessels, as well as long-range missile and drone strikes on the country by the Yemen-based Houthi militant group.
“Few minutes ago, IDF fighter jets struck military targets of the Houthi terrorist regime in the area of the Hodeidah port in Yemen in response to the hundreds of attacks carried out against the State of Israel in recent months,” the military said.
However, the online footage shows that the strikes targeted the oil terminal at the port, resulting in multiple storage tanks catching fire.
Responding, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in statement asserted that the port was being utilised by the Houthis to receive arms shipments from Iran.
Speaking further, he referred to the recent drone attack on Tel Aviv, which resulted in one fatality and at least ten injuries near the US Embassy’s branch office.
Though, the Houthis claimed responsibility for the attack, boasting that the new drone technology enabled them to evade enemy defenses and carry out a ‘significant military operation’.
The bombing effort appears to have yielded little result, with the Houthis continuing attacks on merchant vessels and repeatedly targeting coalition warships.
Meanwhile, the Houthi Militants has promised to retaliate the Israel’s strikes on Hodeidah..
