Israeli jets struck several targets including energy infrastructure in the Yemeni port city of Hodeida on Saturday in response to a drone attack by Houthi militants that killed one person in Tel Aviv the day before.
The Israel Defense Forces said it hit “military targets” in the port, in retaliation for repeated attacks against Israel by Iran-backed Houthi militants since the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza erupted last year.
“The Houthis attacked us over 200 times. The first time that they harmed an Israeli citizen, we struck them. And we will do this in any place where it may be required,” said Yoav Gallant, Israel’s defence minister.
