IDF issues evacuation warning for three Houthi ports in Yemen ahead of possible strikes

The IDF repeats its “urgent” evacuation warning for three Houthi-controlled ports in Yemen, ahead of possible airstrikes.

On Sunday, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee warned Yemenis to keep away from the Ras Isa, Hodeida, and Salif ports on the western coast until further notice.

Since the initial warning, the Houthis have launched several ballistic missiles at Israel, but no IDF strikes have been carried out.

Adraee now repeats the warning, a short while after a Houthi missile fired at Israel was intercepted.

“Due to the Houthi terror regime’s use of ports for its terror activities, we urge all those present at these ports to evacuate and stay away from them for your own safety until further notice,” he says.
