Israeli Defense Forces struck three ports in Yemen, alleging that the ports are used by the Houthi forces to "transfer weapons from the Iranian regime."

The Israeli Air Force targeted the Galaxy Leader cargo ship as part of its strikes on Houthi-controlled targets across Yemen late on Sunday night.The ship was seized by the Houthis in November 2023, as the Yemeni group began its campaign targeting Red Sea vessels it claimed were linked to Israel,

Israel’s military launched airstrikes early Monday targeting ports and facilities held by Yemen’s Houthi rebels, with the rebels responding with missile fire targeting Israel.
