Yemen: Huthi hit with drones a major target in Israeli port ‘Eilat’

One more attack was launched by Yemen, this time at the port of ‘Eilat’. Huthi forces appear to have attacked with drones a very important target at the port of Israel “Eilat”, in the Eryrtha Sea, the military representative of the organization Yahia Saria announced. “These operations will not stop until aggression stops, the siege in the Gaza Strip is lifted and the aggression in Lebanon is stopped,” Saria said. This news has not yet been confirmed by Israel’s forces. The Huthi, who control most of northern Yemen, began in November 2023 missile and drone attacks against ships that say they are linked to Israel or its allies. They confirm that they have been acting in solidarity with the Palestinian Islamist Hamas movement for the war in the region with Israel since 7 October 2023. Their attacks on the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden have caused a huge problem in the movement of ships in this region, at a point very important for world trade. The Huthi movements led the U.S. to form an international naval coalition and, as of January, to start hitting rebel facilities and weapons systems in Yemen, in some cases along with Britain. Since then, the Huthi have claimed that they are also targeting American and British ships. The bombings against the Huthi in Yemen failed to stop attacks on merchant ships off the country.
