Israel bombs Yemen's Hodeidah port after attack near Tel Aviv

May 06, 2025

Tel Aviv [Israel], May 6: The Israeli military said it carried out air strikes on targets at Yemen's Hodeidah port, claiming the sites were used to support Houthi operations against Israel.
According to the Israeli army, fighter jets struck infrastructure on Monday linked to the Houthis, including a concrete factory east of Hodeidah that it described as "an important economic resource" used in building tunnels and military infrastructure.
"The Hodeidah seaport serves as a hub for the transfer of Iranian weapons and equipment for military needs," the Israeli army said in a statement. The claim could not be independently verified. Houthi-run Al Masirah TV reported that six Israeli strikes hit Hodeidah's port and blamed both Israel and the United States.
Axios journalist Barak Ravid quoted a senior US official who said the air raids were coordinated between Israel and the US.
A US defence source told Al Jazeera that "US forces did not participate in the Israeli strikes on Yemen today". (Agencies)
