Overview

• The Israeli military has warned civilians to evacuate the Yemeni ports of Ras Isa, Hodeidah, and Salif, citing imminent airstrikes.
• This marks the second evacuation warning issued by Israel for Yemen in a week, following a strike that disabled Sana’a airport days earlier.
• The warnings come after Israel intercepted the first missile launched from Yemen since a US-brokered ceasefire deal with the Houthis that excluded Israel.
• Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz reaffirmed the country’s stance of unilateral self-defense, stating it will act independently against threats.
• The Houthis have vowed to continue their attacks on Israel in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, despite the ceasefire agreement.
