At least four dead and 40 injured in Israel’s attack on Houthis in Yemen
At least four people were killed and another 40 were injured in the large-scale operation that Israel has launched against the Houthi Shiite rebels in the port city of Al Hodeida, in western Yemen, the spokesman for the Houthi Ministry of Health, Anees al Asbahi, told EFE.
“The preliminary toll of victims of the Israeli bombings against Al Hodeida is four martyrs and 40 wounded,” Al Asbahi said.
Some of them, according to the department, suffer serious injuries, without giving further details.
Attack on the power plant
The ministry strongly condemned “the brutal Zionist aggression against Yemen and confirms that it will not pass without a harsh and dissuasive response,” an attack “that targeted civilian objects and service facilities in the province of Al Hodeida, oil tanks, the power plant and the port of Al Hodeida.”
The Israeli Army said in a statement that “dozens of air force aircraft” attacked Huthi military targets in Ras Issa and Al Hodeida in Yemen, where they targeted “power plants and the seaport, used to import oil,” an action that occurs one day after the Shiite insurgents claimed the launch of a missile against Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion airport.
The rebels operate “under the direction and financing of Iran”
“Through the attacked infrastructure and ports, the Houthi regime transfers Iranian weapons to the region and supplies for military needs, and therefore, also oil. The attack was carried out in response to the latest attacks perpetrated by the Houthis against the State of Israel,” according to the Israeli Army.
He pointed out that the rebels have been operating “under the direction and financing of Iran and in cooperation with the Iraqi militias, to harm the State of Israel, undermine the regional order and disturb the freedom of navigation worldwide.”
Ballistic missile launched against Ben Gurion airport
This Saturday, the Houthis claimed the launch of a ballistic missile against the Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv “during the arrival of the criminal Benjamin Netanyahu,” the Prime Minister of Israel.
Tension has increased in the Middle East after the murder, last Friday, of the leader of Hezbulah, Hassan Nasrala, in a massive Israeli bombing in the southern suburbs of Beirut.
It is not the first time that Israel attacks Yemen, since last July it also launched an action against the port of Al Hodeida that killed at least six civilians and reached more than two dozen oil storage tanks, as well as a power plant.
Since last November, the Houthis have been attacking ships linked to Israel in the Red Sea, and have launched projectiles at Israel, some of which have managed to impact Israeli territory.

Tehran airports resume operations as Iran lifts airspace closure
Iran announced on Thursday the full reopening of its airspace, including over the capital Tehran, after it was closed on June 13 — the first day of the war with Israel.
According to the official IRNA news agency, international airports in Tehran (Mehrabad and Imam Khomeini), as well as airports in the north, east, west, and south of the country, have resumed operations and are ready to handle flights.
Iran had completely shut down its airspace on June 13 following Israel’s unprecedented airstrikes. On June 25, one day after a ceasefire was declared, flight operations had resumed gradually, though only in the eastern regions.
On June 28, Iran further expanded the reopening of its airspace to include foreign airlines flying over its territory.
As of Thursday, only the airports in Isfahan (central Iran) and Tabriz (northwest) remain closed, as both cities were repeatedly targeted in Israeli airstrikes and their infrastructure is still under repair, IRNA said.

Trump to decide soon on deportation exemptions for construction and farm workers
U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Tuesday in Florida that he will make a decision in the coming weeks regarding exemptions from deportations for workers in the construction and agriculture sectors.
Trump made these remarks to the media during a visit to the new migrant detention center, ‘Alligator Alcatraz,’ located in the middle of a wetland in Florida, the White House reported.
ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) raids have targeted many of these workers, sparking fear among them and threatening to slow down two sectors that are vital to the U.S. economy.
In construction, 25.7% of workers are immigrants, and 14.1% of the total workforce nationwide is undocumented, according to the American Immigration Council.
In agriculture, the percentage of undocumented employees rises to 42%, according to data from the Department of Agriculture cited by the New York Times.
