IDF strikes Yemen's Al Hudaydah [Hodeidah]. Casualties reported following Israeli strike in Yemen. It was also in response to ongoing Houthi attacks on Israel and the Red Sea for months.
Explained: They 'have been targeting the country since soon after Hamas’s October 7 invasion and slaughter. And Israel had elected not to strike back, even after a missile scored a direct hit on Eilat in March. But in the early hours of Friday morning, an apparently upgraded Houthi drone evaded Israel’s defenses — for reasons thus far ascribed by the IDF to “human error” — and exploded in Tel Aviv, striking an apartment bloc and killing a 50-year-old Israeli, Yevgeny Ferder. The Houthis declared that this marked a “new phase” in their operations against Israel.'
"The attack is 200 km further from Israel than Tehran." High alert in the Air Force all over the country for fear of a reaction. The Americans were informed in advance of the attack, the IDF clarified: "It is in Israeli action only."

After deadly Tel Aviv attack, restraint against Houthis was no longer deemed an option.

Security chiefs were hoping a hostage deal might deescalate war, including in the north. After Friday’s attack, and Israel’s inevitable response, they’re bracing for wider conflict.
Yemen’s Houthi rebels, another of Iran’s terror proxies avowedly seeking to destroy Israel, have been targeting the country since soon after Hamas’s October 7 invasion and slaughter. And Israel had elected not to strike back, even after a missile scored a direct hit on Eilat in March.
But in the early hours of Friday morning, an apparently upgraded Houthi drone evaded Israel’s defenses — for reasons thus far ascribed by the IDF to “human error” — and exploded in Tel Aviv, striking an apartment bloc and killing a 50-year-old Israeli, Yevgeny Ferder.
