Israel Took Revenge For The Drone Attack, Carried Out An Air Strike On The Houthi Stronghold In Yemen, Many Died | ABP News

On July 20, the Israeli army launched attacks on several Houthi positions in western Yemen following a deadly drone strike by the Houthis on Tel Aviv the previous day. This marked Israel's first assault on Yemeni soil since the Israel-Hamas conflict began in October. The strikes targeted military sites in Hodeida, a Houthi stronghold, in response to over 200 attacks by the Houthis against Israel. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant stated that the attack was a direct response to the Houthis harming Israeli civilians and warned of potential future strikes if necessary. The Houthis condemned the Israeli attacks, claiming they targeted civilian infrastructure and increased suffering in Yemen to pressure the country to stop supporting Gaza. Al-Masirah TV reported casualties and significant injuries from the attacks.
