Houthis Target American Aircraft Carrier and Ben Gurion Airport
This morning, the province of Hodeidah in southern Yemen witnessed one of the most intense American airstrikes, while the Houthis announced their targeting of the American aircraft carrier "Truman."
In a statement released today, Sunday, the group claimed to have targeted the aircraft carrier in the Red Sea, in addition to confirming the targeting of Ben Gurion International Airport, located southeast of Tel Aviv, with a hypersonic ballistic missile, according to the TASS news agency.
Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree explained that his forces carried out two military operations; the first targeted Ben Gurion Airport with a Palestine 2 hypersonic ballistic missile, while the second operation targeted the American aircraft carrier "Truman" and several of its naval vessels using rockets and drones.
This escalation follows hours after American fighter jets conducted intense bombing operations targeting weapons storage facilities and Houthi positions, along with the Houthi command center and the coastal city's airport.
Reports from Al Arabiya/Al Hadath indicate that Mansour al-Saadi, the commander of the Houthi naval forces, was injured as a result of the airstrikes. It was also clarified that the strikes targeted the naval base in the Al-Khubeir area of Hodeidah.
It is worth noting that the United States has launched an expanded air campaign targeting the Houthis since the end of last week, particularly in the areas of Hodeidah and Saada.
