After the IDF issued an evacuation warning for the Houthi-controlled port of Hodeida in western Yemen, the Israeli Air Force has begun to strike in the area, according to local media.

Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree says the group’s air defenses are engaging Israeli aircraft carrying out the strikes.

An hour and a half earlier, the IDF warned it would strike Hodeida Port in response to the Houthis’ repeated missile and drone attacks on Israel.
