The genocide in Gaza has taken another step this weekend to extend the conflict to the entire region. The Hutians of Yemen bombed Tel Aviv on Friday, and Israel, in retaliation, has attacked the port of Hodeidah, the most important port in Yemen. The Huthese have been attacking cargo ships linked to Israel in the Red Sea since November in solidarity with Palestine.
Israel has bombed Hodeidah with military aircraft on Saturday, killed six people and wounded several dozen people. The oil warehouses in the port have also been hit in the attack, which has caused a large fire in the area. Israel has warned that this will prevent shipments of arms that Iran has made to the Huthis for a period of time. Iran has denounced the bombing of Yemen by saying that it can lead to an increase in conflict and has denied that the Huthis are arming.
The Hutians in Yemen have claimed the explosion they suffered last Friday in Tel Aviv, where 71 people died. The center of the Mediterranean city has been bombed in a drone strike, and this is the first time that the Huthis have managed to play in Tel Aviv. The attack has occurred near an office of the U.S. Embassy in Yemen. One person has died and ten others have been injured by the explosion of gas on the street. It is also the first time that the Hutians have caused a death in Israel. The drone has travelled about 1,800 km and has been the result of a "human error", according to the authorities of the Israeli Ministry of Defence, who has been identified with the drone for more than six minutes.
The Huthese have said that they have used a new type of drone, the Jaffa, capable of avoiding radars. Jaffa was a major commercial city in Palestine until it was invaded by Israel in 1948, and has now been devastated by Tel Aviv.
Military campaign of solidarity of the Huthis
The Shia militia in Yemen began in November to intercept the passage to the Red Sea of ships that were connected with Israel. The attacks have been massive and commercial transport on the Suez Canal has been subjected to a brutal cut. The Israeli port of Eilat has been largely suspended due to the action of the Huthese, the authorities have reported.
The Huthis, or the Shiite group Ansar Allah, control most of Yemeni territory, including the capital, since they rebelled against the government in 2014. Iran and Hezbollah have announced that they will continue the military campaign against Israel as long as the genocide in Gaza remains in place.
