Yemen: Israel confirms airstrikes targeting Yemen's Hodeidah port

The official spokesperson for the Houthis, Nasruddin Amer, described the Israeli airstrike on the oil tanks and power facility at Hodeidah port as "a brutal act of aggression against Yemen aimed at worsening the suffering of its people and pressuring Yemen to halt its support for Gaza."

The Israeli military announced that it carried out strikes on the Red Sea port city of Hodeidah in Yemen earlier on Saturday. 

In a post on X, Amer dismissed the strike as an "unrealistic Israeli fantasy" and asserted that it would only strengthen the Yemeni people's resolve and their support for Gaza.
