Sanaa - The United States and Israel struck the port of Hodeida on Monday, hours after a reported US air raid on Sanaa and a day after rebels targeted Israel's main airport.
An Israeli official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed to AFP that Israeli warplanes struck Yemen.
More than 10 strikes targeted Hodeidah Port and the Al Salakhanah and Al Hawak neighbourhoods in Hodeidah City, five residents told Reuters. Four strikes also targeted a cement factory east of Hodeidah.
The port is the second-largest in the Red Sea after Aden and is the entry point for about 80% of Yemen's food imports.
