Israeli airstrikes have been launched against the Houthi-controlled port city of Hodeidah in Yemen, resulting in fatalities. The strikes were in response to a drone strike near the US embassy in Tel Aviv claimed by the Iran-backed Houthis. The Israeli military stated that the strikes were in response to attacks carried out against Israel in recent months. Additionally, the Houthis have been launching attacks against Western shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. Two recent attacks on vessels near Yemen were reported by the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations, involving aerial and seaborne drones. The vessels, identified as a Liberia-flagged container ship and a Singapore-flagged vessel, sustained damage in the attacks. The incidents are still under investigation.
