Israel strikes Yemen after Houthi missile attack on main airport

The Israeli military said it carried out air strikes against Yemen’s Hodeida Port on Monday, a day after the Iran-aligned Houthis fired a missile that struck near Israel’s main airport.

The military said in a statement that it attacked what it called Houthi terrorist targets in Hodeida and its vicinity.

The strikes killed at least one person and injured at least 35 people, the Houthi-run Saba news agency said citing the health ministry.

The Houthis shut down the area around the port and cement factory following the strikes, three sources said.
