The Houthis claimed they attacked several targets in Israel with drones in response to Israeli military attacks on Yemen's Hodeidah port on Monday.
Houthi military spokesperson, Yahya Saree, said that the group attacked several targets in Israel with drones, which was in response to Israel's recent attack on Hodeidah port and the continued military campaign against Gaza.
Earlier, the Houthi-run Al Masirah TV said that a series of attacks on the port was under way, without providing any details. Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz had said the army was "forcefully countering any attempt to restore the terror infrastructure previously attacked."
