Saturday, July 20, 2024 5:54PMThe Israel i army said Saturday it has struck several Houthi targets in western Yemen following a fatal drone attack by the rebel group in Tel Aviv the previous day.
An Israeli Defense Forces official didn't say how many sites were targeted, but told journalists that the port is the main entry point for Iranian weapons. The official didn't say whether other allied forces took part in the operation, and didn't confirm whether it was Israel's first attack on Yemen.
Health officials in Yemen said the strikes killed a number of people and wounded others, but didn't elaborate. Among the dead in the Nuseirat and Bureij refugee camps were three children and one woman, according to Palestinian ambulance teams that transported the bodies to nearby Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. Associated Press journalists counted the 13 corpses.
The war in Gaza, which was sparked by Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel, has killed more than 38,900 people, according to the territory's Health Ministry, which doesn't distinguish between combatants and civilians in its count. The war has created a humanitarian catastrophe in the coastal Palestinian territory, displaced most of its 2.3 million population and triggered widespread hunger.
