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.

María Corina Machado kidnapped and forced to record videos before being released, says opposition
The Venezuela Command, the campaign team of opposition leader Edmundo González Urrutia, denounced the “kidnapping” and subsequent release of political leader María Corina Machado after she led a protest in Caracas on the eve of the Venezuelan presidential inauguration.
In a post on X, the opposition team stated that the former lawmaker was “intercepted and knocked off the motorcycle she was traveling on” after leading a rally in the Chacao area of the Venezuelan capital.
“Gunshots were fired during the incident. She was forcibly detained. During her kidnapping, she was forced to record several videos, and then she was released,” the statement added, which was made public nearly two hours after Machado’s party, Vente Venezuela, reported that she had been “violently intercepted.”

Governor Jenniffer González expresses solidarity with Venezuela’s struggling opposition
Puerto Rico’s Governor Jenniffer González expressed her sorrow over Venezuela’s political crisis on Thursday and voiced her support for Venezuelan opposition leader Edmundo González Urrutia, just one day before President Nicolás Maduro is set to take office following the controversial July elections.
“I think it is sad that the Venezuelan people have to suffer the consequences of a dictator who came to power by deceiving the people. I recognize Edmundo González for his leadership,” the governor stated during a press conference, coinciding with a day of protests by Venezuela’s opposition.
“The Venezuelan community has my full support, and, as we have done in the past, we will maintain that line of communication with whatever we can collaborate on,” assured the Puerto Rican head of government.
González Urrutia is currently in the Dominican Republic, the last announced stop on his American tour, where he was accompanied by Dominican President Luis Abinader and former Latin American presidents from the Spain and Americas Democratic Initiative (Grupo Idea).
