Israel launched airstrikes on Yemen’s Hodeidah province after a Houthi missile landed near Tel Aviv, marking a sharp escalation in cross-regional hostilities.
A wave of Israeli fighter jets struck dozens of Houthi-linked targets across Yemen’s Hodeidah province, including the Bajil Cement Factory and key areas near the Red Sea port.
The Israeli Defense Forces confirmed 20 jets were involved. At least four strikes hit the cement plant east of Hodeidah, igniting major fires. Over ten more explosions were reported near the port and residential areas.
Houthi officials said 21 people were initially injured. That toll rose to at least two dead and more than 35 wounded. Emergency services sealed off damaged zones.
The strikes came in response to a ballistic missile fired by the Houthis on Sunday. It landed near Ben Gurion Airport, injuring six civilians. The group threatened to blockade Israeli airspace and urged airlines to halt flights to the country.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened his security cabinet before heading to an air force command center to oversee the response.
Hodeidah is Yemen’s second-largest port and vital for humanitarian aid, handling more than 80 percent of food imports. Israel claims the port has been used to smuggle Iranian arms. It also accuses the Bajil factory of aiding Houthi tunnel operations.
