The Israeli military launched airstrikes on the Yemeni port of Hodeidah again yesterday. The spokesperson for the Houthis said that air defense systems have been activated and prevented an Israeli assault on Yemen. Israel and the Houthis have traded attacks since Israel launched its assault on the Gaza Strip in October 2023.

Meanwhile, hundreds attended funeral services in Sana’a yesterday for the 31 journalists who were killed in Israeli airstrikes last week. The Committee to Protect Journalists told the Associated Press that they were still working to verify the deaths of the journalists, saying, “The information environment is highly restricted — Houthi authorities have imposed strict censorship, including a ban on sharing photos or videos related to the airstrikes.”
