In response, Israeli fighter jets conducted airstrikes on fuel storage facilities in Hodeidah, Yemen, a city controlled by the Houthi rebels. The strikes caused six deaths and injured 83 people, according to reports from al-Masirah TV.
Since November of last year, the Houthis have escalated their attacks on ships associated with Israel in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, utilizing ballistic missiles and drone bombs. These actions are part of their broader effort to express solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
