**JERUSALEM/SANAA** – Israel launched fresh airstrikes on Yemen’s Hodeidah governorate late Sunday, targeting Houthi-controlled ports after issuing prior evacuation warnings. This latest escalation follows a Houthi missile attack near Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv earlier this month. The Israeli military has previously conducted air strikes on Hodeidah, Sanaa International Airport, and other targets within Yemen.
