IDF attacks seaport in Yemen's Hudaydah
Media outlets report that the seaport in Yemen's Hudaydah was attacked, with explosions, fires, and thick smoke visible at the site.
The Yemeni channel Al Mayadeen, affiliated with the Houthis, stated that the target of the attack was the oil refinery facilities at the port.
The Lebanese channel Al-Mayadeen, linked to Hezbollah, claims that Israel was behind the attack.
The IDF confirmed it carried out airstrikes in Yemen a short while ago.
On the night of July 19, at around 3:15 AM, an explosion occurred in Tel Aviv near Shalom Aleichem and Ben Yehuda streets, close to the US Embassy. The explosion was heard across many parts of central Israel. The strike hit the "Beit El-Al" building (32 Ben Yehuda Street), causing damage to neighboring buildings.
A 50-year-old man, Yevgeny Ferder, was killed. Four people sustained minor shrapnel injuries and another four required medical assistance for shock. The injured were taken to Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv and Wolfson Hospital in Holon.
Yahya Saree, a spokesperson for the Yemeni Houthi armed forces, claimed that the Ansar Allah organization carried out a drone attack on Tel Aviv. This marks the first successful Houthi attack on Tel Aviv. Sari stated that the Ansar Allah air force conducted a successful operation using a "new Yaffa drone." He declared: "We have several targets in occupied Palestine, and we will continue to strike them in response to the mass killings by our adversaries. The Tel Aviv area is within reach of our weapons and will become a primary target for us."
The Al-Arabiya channel reports that the Houthis supposedly launched a ballistic missile and four drones, with the US intercepting the missile and three drones. However, US Central Command reported that over the past day, US forces on the ground in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen destroyed two surface-to-air missiles and four drones. There were no notifications of missile or drone interceptions.
