The earlier missile, launched around 5:50 a.m., set off sirens across central and southern Israel, waking millions in cities including Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Ashdod and Rishon LeZion. The Israeli Air Force intercepted the missile without incident.
According to the IDF, the strikes hit engineering equipment, fuel tanks, vessels, and other assets the Houthis were rebuilding for military use.
The IDF described Hodeidah as a key conduit for Iranian weapons smuggled to the Houthis, who are backed by Tehran. The military said its strike aimed to disrupt the rebels’ operational capabilities and prevent further attacks on Israeli and allied targets.
