The Israeli military issued an evacuation warning for three ports in Yemen on Sunday night after vowing to \u201cdefend itself by itself\u201d following a ceasefire deal between the US and the Houthis that excluded Israel. <\/p>\n
The warning, posted on social media by Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Arabic media spokesperson Avichay Adraee, warned people to evacuate the ports of Ras Isa, Hodeidah, and Salif. <\/p>\n
The anticipated airstrikes come two days after Israel intercepted a missile fired from Yemen, according to the IDF. <\/p>\n
That missile was the first since President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire deal between the US and the Iran-backed rebel group last week. <\/p>\n
Despite the deal, the Houthis said they would continue to attack Israel in solidarity with the Palestinian population of Gaza. <\/p>\n
Blindsided by the deal, Israel vowed it would strike the Houthis alone if necessary. <\/p>\n
\u201cIsrael must be able to defend itself by itself against any threat and any enemy,\u201d Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a statement last week. \u201cThis has been true in the face of many past challenges, and it will remain true in the future.\u201d <\/p>\n
This marks the second time within a week that Israel has issued an evacuation warning for Yemen. <\/p>\n
Last Tuesday, the military issued a warning for Yemen\u2019s international airport in the capital of Sana\u2019a before carrying out strikes that it said \u201cfully\u201d disabled the facility. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
