The Israeli government reported that the attack killed one Israeli citizen near the U.S. Embassy Branch Office and wounded eight others, and marked the first Israeli death amid the over 200 Houthi missile and UAV attacks the Israeli government has reported since October 2023. Houthi leaders have stated they will continue attacks against Israel until Israel ends its operations in Gaza. On July 20, Israel launched Operation Long Arm, in which combat/refueling aircraft flew more than 1,000 miles from their bases in Israel to strike the Houthi-held port of Hudaydah (alt. Hodeidah, see Figure 1). The operation, which Israel characterized as a retaliatory strike, hit fuel depots, a refinery and power station, and dockside cranes, reportedly killing a number of people and wounding dozens. Hudaydah is an important commercial port, and damage to its infrastructure may limit flows of goods, food, humanitarian supplies, and fuel until functions are restored. Economic and humanitarian impact estimates may follow more complete damage assessments. A statement by the UN Secretary General noted considerable damage to civilian infrastructure and urged all to exercise utmost restraint. The Houthis have targeted Israel with missiles since the July 20 Israeli air strikes, elevating concerns about the possibility of a regional war.
