Israeli strikes aimed at crippling all three Houthi ports

Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent

The overnight Israeli airstrikes in Yemen were aimed at paralysing all three ports used by the Iran-backed Houthis on the coast of the country.

All of the tugboats used to bring ships into ports were struck in the Israeli attack.

In Israel’s previous attack on the Hodeidah port, the cranes used to unload shipments were struck.

Now, it is believed by Israel that all activity at the ports controlled by the Houthis is paralyzed.
