Israel\u2019s strikes on Sunday marked the second known time that Israel has retaliated against the Houthi attacks by striking in Yemen, around 1,000 miles away from its southernmost tip.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">In a statement, the military said dozens of its planes had participated in attacking power stations and a seaport in the province of Hodeidah that it claimed were being used to import munitions from Iran, military supplies and oil.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Nasruddin Amer, a Houthi spokesman, said Israel\u2019s attacks would not prevent the group from continuing to fire on Israel. \u201cWe\u2019re at war with the Zionist enemy and our operations will not stop,\u201d he said in a text message.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Al-Masirah, a TV channel affiliated with the Houthis, reported that the strikes hit oil depots at the Ras al-Issa port as well as areas near the Hodeidah port. In a post on X, Mr. Amer said the oil depots at the Ras al-Issa and Hodeidah ports had been emptied in advance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">A spokesman from the Houthi-run health ministry said on Sunday that four people had been killed and about 40 were wounded, some of whom were in critical condition. \u201cThis is an initial tally and paramedics are still working on the scenes,\u201d said Anis al-Asbahi, the spokesman of the Sana-based health ministry. <\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Humanitarian experts have warned that targeting ports in northern Yemen could exacerbate an already dire humanitarian situation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">\u201cOver half of Yemen\u2019s population is dependent on humanitarian aid,\u201d and much of it flows in through ports in the country\u2019s north, said Niku Jafarnia, a researcher for Human Rights Watch focusing on Yemen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">On Friday and Saturday, the Houthis fired missiles toward central Israel. The Israeli military said both were intercepted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">On July 19, the Houthis <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/07\/19\/world\/middleeast\/houthis-drone-strike-tel-aviv.html\" title=\"\">launched a drone attack<\/a> on Tel Aviv that crashed into a building near the U.S. Embassy branch office, killing one person and wounding several others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">A day later, Israeli fighter jets bombed the Red Sea port of Hodeidah, which is controlled by the Houthis. The July strikes killed three people and injured 87, according to the Houthi-run health ministry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Human Rights Watch called Israel\u2019s retaliation at the time \u201can apparently unlawful indiscriminate or disproportionate attack on civilians.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The Houthis are a Yemeni Shiite militia that over the past decade has seized control of large parts of western Yemen, including the capital, Sana, and the Red Sea coastline. While the group\u2019s antagonism toward Israel long preceded the war in Gaza, the Houthis had <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/07\/20\/world\/middleeast\/houthi-drone-strike-israel-tel-aviv.html\" title=\"\">rarely attacked Israeli interests<\/a> before last October.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Since November, the Houthis have targeted ships that they claim have links to Israel in the Red Sea, a key trade route between Asia, Europe and the Middle East. In response, the United States, Britain and other allies of Israel have attacked Houthi weapons depots, missile systems and radar facilities in Yemen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-1smqmx3 etfikam0\">Ismaeel Naar<!-- --> and <!-- -->Shuaib Almosawa<!-- --> contributed reporting to this article.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/live\/2024\/09\/30\/world\/israel-lebanon-hezbollah\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Israeli military conducted airstrikes in Yemen on Sunday after Iranian-backed Houthis there fired three missiles at Israel over the past couple of weeks.
