CAIRO - Israeli airstrikes targeted the Houthi-held Red Sea port of Hodeidah in Yemen, Al-Masirah TV, the main television news outlet run by Yemen's Houthi movement, reported on Saturday.

The strikes against oil facilities in the port caused fatalities, Al-Masirah TV added, citing the health ministry.

On Friday, a long-range Iranian-made drone hit the centre of Tel Aviv in an attack claimed by the Houthi militia and which killed one man and wounded four others, the Israeli military and emergency services said.

Asked about the latest incident, the Israeli military said: "We do not comment on reports in the foreign media."

The Iranian-backed Houthis have stepped up attacks against Israel and Western targets, saying they are acting in solidarity with the Palestinians.

They began attacking Western ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden after Israel invaded the Gaza Strip following last year's attack by Hamas militants on southern Israel.

Hamas-led fighters stormed Israeli towns on Oct. 7, killing around 1,200 people and taking more than 250 hostages back to Gaza, according to Israeli tallies. Since then, nearly 39,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's assault on the Gaza Strip, according to health authorities in the enclave. REUTERS
