Israeli strikes kill four in Yemen as Houthis vow retaliation

Israeli air strikes killed at least four people and wounded dozens in Yemen on Monday, a day after the Houthis struck near Tel Aviv with a ballistic missile.

The Houthis said on Tuesday the strikes hit a cement factory in Bajil, killing three and injuring 35, while a fourth person died in a separate attack on Hodeidah port.

The group’s Al-Masirah TV blamed both Israel and the United States for the attacks. Israel confirmed it carried out the attacks.

The deadly strikes follow Israel’s expanded military plans in Gaza, which include seizing the enclave and forcibly displacing its population—a move widely condemned by human rights groups.

The Houthis say their missile and drone attacks on Israel and Red Sea shipping lanes are acts of solidarity with Palestinians under siege in Gaza.

They warned of further retaliation, threatening to target Israeli airports again.
