The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen announced that the US, UK, and Israel have carried out airstrikes on the capital Sana and the province of Hudaydah.

AREA TARGETED FOR GAZA SUPPORT DEMONSTRATIONS

According to a report from the Houthi-controlled SABA news agency, it was stated that "airstrikes occurred near Sebiin Square, where the public gathered for demonstrations in support of Gaza" in the capital Sana.

6 AIRSTRIKES CONDUCTED

The report indicated that there were also attacks on the province of Hudaydah, located on the Red Sea coast in the west of the country, highlighting that the Hudaydah Port and Ras Isa Port were targeted in 6 airstrikes. The report emphasized that these attacks were carried out by the US, UK, and Israel.

ISRAEL PARTICIPATED FOR THE FIRST TIME

On the other hand, Israeli state television KAN reported that "Israel participated for the first time in airstrikes against the Houthis in Yemen alongside the US and UK."

SITUATION IN THE RED SEA

Since October 31, 2023, the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen have been seizing commercial ships they claim are linked to Israeli companies in response to Israel's attacks in Gaza, and they have also attacked some with drones and missiles. Following the Houthis' actions, many shipping companies decided to halt their operations in the Red Sea. The US announced that due to the threat to global maritime trade security, a multinational "naval task force" named "Operation Shield of Prosperity" was established on December 18, 2023, with the participation of a group of countries against Houthi forces. In response to the attacks by the US and UK on areas under their control in Yemen, the Houthis announced that they would target all ships from these two countries.
