Latest attack from Yemen comes a day after Israeli drone strikes on Iran-backed group's 'military infrastructure' at Hodeida port The post IDF says it downed Houthi missile that set off sirens across central Israel appeared first on The Times of Israel.

Israel struck Houthi targets in Yemen’s port of Hodeida on Monday, in retaliation for a series of missile volleys from the group over the last week.

Since Israel launched its war on Gaza in October 2023, the Houthis have carried out several attacks on shipping lanes in the Red Sea, saying they were acting in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. Israel has responded with repeated strikes on Houthi targets, particularly in Hodeidah, a key entry point for goods and aid into Yemen.
