Israel has carried out its first strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen since the Israel-Iran ceasefire, attacking ports and a power plant around midnight local time Sunday night into Monday morning.

New attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels on cargo ships in the Red Sea have raised fears of a renewed campaign targeting a key maritime route for international trade.

Israel struck Houthi targets at three Yemeni ports and a power plant overnight, in the country’s first attack on Yemen since the Israel-Iran ceasefire.
