Amid escalating tensions, Israel allegedly targeted docks in Yemen's strategic port city Hodeida. These facilities are vital for delivering aid to the war-torn nation, which has triggered international concern.
Although there was no immediate confirmation from Israeli authorities, the attack coincides with repeated Houthi missile and drone assaults against Israel during its ongoing conflict with Hamas in Gaza. The rebels declared the attack through their al-Masirah satellite channel, throwing further spotlight on the nearly decade-old conflict in Yemen.
This fresh attack raises alarms over its possible impacts on the Red Sea trade route, crucial to global commerce, and underscores the need for diplomatic solutions to this prolonged regional crisis.
