On 29 September 2024, Israel launched attacks in Yemen against the ports of Al Hudaydah and Ras Isa, both located in the Houthi-controlled part of the country, using F-15I, F-35I Adir, and F-16I aircraft.[1] Six people were killed[2][3] and at least 57 were injured.[2][4] Widespread power outages were caused in the city of Hodeida itself.[4] The attacks caused significant damage to Yemeni port facilities and power generating stations.[4]
The Israeli attacks were in response to missile fire from the Houthis directed at Israel. The Houthis said their missile attacks are part of a broader campaign to express solidarity with the people of Gaza and Lebanon.[5][6] This was the second major Israeli retaliatory strike against the Houthis since Operation Outstretched Arm on 20 July 2024, which saw Israeli aircraft attacking the Al Hudaydah port.
