In a swift response to a deadly attack on Tel Aviv, Israeli airstrikes were carried out against Houthi rebels in Yemen. The airstrikes targeted military sites in the vicinity of the Al Hudaydah Port, according to the Israel Defence Forces (IDF).

The IDF issued a statement condemning the Houthi terrorist regime for its consistent attacks against Israel in recent months. "A short while ago, IDF fighter jets struck military targets of the Houthi terrorist regime in the area of the Al Hudaydah [Hodeidah] Port in Yemen in response to the hundreds of attacks carried out against the State of Israel in recent months," the statement read.

The response from Israel came shortly after the Houthi-run Al Masirah TV reported airstrikes on oil facilities in the western port of Hodeidah. The Houthi media also confirmed that there were casualties and injuries as a result of the strikes.

The initial airstrike in Tel Aviv on Friday resulted in the death of one man and left at least 10 others injured. The Houthis claimed responsibility for the attack, citing it as a response to Israel's ongoing conflict in Gaza. A spokesperson for the group stated that the operation was conducted using an advanced drone that could bypass Israel's interception systems.

While the Houthis have previously targeted shipping in solidarity with Gaza, this marks the first time that Israel has conducted airstrikes in Yemen. The escalation of tensions between Israel and the Iran-backed Houthi rebels brings forth concerns regarding the widening scope of the conflict in the region.

As the situation develops, both sides are expected to provide further details on the attacks. The international community continues to monitor the situation closely, hoping for a de-escalation and a peaceful resolution to the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East.
