The Israeli military launched airstrikes against the positions of Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen's Hodeidah, the IDF confirmed on Saturday, one day after a fatal Houthi drone attack against Tel Aviv. However, the country updated its allies prior to carrying out the strike, an unnamed Israeli military official told Reuters. Several people have been killed and injured in the Israeli airstrikes on Hodeidah port, Houthi-affiliated media reported citing the group's Health Ministry. The incident is under thorough review," the Israeli military said in a statement. The Houthis' drone attack on Tel Aviv came after the Israeli military confirmed it had killed a senior commander of the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia in southern Lebanon.
