Multiple small vessels attacked a ship in the Red Sea near Yemen’s Al Hudaydah port, causing a fire on board and prompting the crew to abandon ship before the Israel army carried out airstrikes on Houthi-controlled ports in Yemen.

As part of a military operation dubbed "Black Flag," IAF jets targeted the ports of Al Hudaydah, Ras Isa, and Salif, as well as the Ras Kanatib Power Plant.

The Israeli military says it has carried out air strikes on Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen in response to repeated missile and drone attacks on Israel.
