Israel confirmed airstrikes on multiple Houthi-controlled ports in Yemen early Monday, targeting sites linked to Iran and militant operations. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) struck Al-Hudaydah, Ras Isa, Al-Salif, and the Ras Qantib power plant, claiming the Houthis were behind ongoing drone and missile attacks on Israel and posed a threat to Red Sea shipping lanes. A major target included the seized merchant ship “Galaxy Leader,” allegedly outfitted with radar for maritime surveillance. Israel stated the power plant was used to support military activities. The strikes signal escalating regional tensions involving Iran-backed forces across the Middle East. (PC: X)
