Israeli Navy Sa’ar 6-class corvettes launched missiles at the Hodeida port in Yemen during the strike on the Houthis this morning from hundreds of kilometers away, according to the military.

Two long-range guided missiles were fired, destroying infrastructure at the port, which the IDF says was used by the Houthis to smuggle weapons into the country.

The Houthi-controlled Hodeida port has been struck several times by the IDF in the past year, and the military says the repeated attacks are intended to cause merchants to “understand that this is a combat zone and reduce their transfers there.”
