The port city of Hodeida in Yemen has been hit by several attacks, according to the Houthi-controlled Al Masirah TV channel. According to Reuters, among other things, a fuel plant was hit, and the picture shows a large burning area. The attack comes the day after a drone attack on Tel Aviv in which one person was killed. The Houthis claim Israel is behind the attack. Israel confirms this on Saturday evening. The IDF says the attack is a response to “hundreds of attacks” against Israel in recent months. The health authorities in the area report that several people are dead and injured, without specifying numbers. Houthi member Mohammed al-Bukhaiti reports on social media that “Israel will pay”. Israel’s Defense Minister Minister Yoav Gallant says according to Reuters that the purpose of the attack is to send a signal to the Houthis after yesterday’s attack. – The first time the Houthis injured an Israeli citizen, we hit back. And we will do it again where necessary. Published 20.07.2024, at 19.05 Updated 20.07.2024, at 19.17
