The Israeli navy attacked docks in Yemen's rebel-held port city of Hodeida on Tuesday (10 June), likely damaging facilities that are key to aid shipments to the hungry, war-wracked nation.
The Israeli military said navy missile ships conducted the strikes, the first time its forces have been involved in attacks against the Houthi rebels.
Tuesday's attack comes as the Houthis have repeatedly launched missiles and drones targeting Israel during its war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
