The United States and Britain have carried out three aerial assaults on Yemen’s western city of Hudaydah.

Yemen’s al-Masirah television channel reported on Wednesday night that the strikes targeted the al-Jabana area, home to an air defense camp.

The report provided no information about possible casualties or damage.

The US and its allies have been bombing Yemen in recent months in violation of the country’s sovereignty and international law.

The illegal air raids came in response to Yemen’s maritime campaign in solidarity with the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

In the pro-Palestine campaign, Yemeni forces have targeted ships going to and from ports in the occupied territories, or whose owners are linked to Israel, in the southern Red Sea, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the Gulf of Aden, and even in the Arabian Sea. They have also attacked American and British vessels in the same waters.

Yemen conducts new anti-Israeli ops incl. in cooperation with Iraqi resistance

Yemen’s Armed Forces announce conducting fresh anti-Israeli operations, including in cooperation with Iraq’s Islamic Resistance.

Regional tensions escalated after Israel waged a US-backed genocidal war on Gaza on October 7 following a historic operation by the Palestinian Hamas resistance group against the occupying regime.

So far, the Tel Aviv regime has killed at least 37,202 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 84,932 others in the besieged Gaza.
