根据以色列国防军的一份声明,以色列国防军于当地时间周一夜间袭击了也门的三个港口,声称这些港口被胡塞武装用来“从伊朗政权转移武器”。
在以色列国防军对也门的袭击中,以色列军队还声称他们袭击了银河领袖号(Galaxy Leader),这艘船在2023年11月被胡塞武装接管,此前不久,以色列和哈马斯之间的战争在10月7日的事件后开始,当时哈马斯领导了对以色列的恐怖袭击,造成1200名以色列人死亡,250人被劫为人质。
银河领袖号的船员从2023年11月被扣为人质,直到2025年1月,作为以色列和哈马斯今年早些时候停火协议的一部分,他们最终被释放。
以色列国防军在声明中说:“胡塞武装在船上安装了雷达系统,并一直用它来跟踪国际海上舞台上的船只,以方便进一步的恐怖活动。”
根据胡塞发言人在x上的一篇帖子,袭击发生后,胡塞部队表示,他们“有效地击退了”以色列的袭击。
以色列对也门的打击正值伊朗和以色列在两国12天的战争后达成脆弱的停火协议。以色列和哈马斯目前正在谈判一项新的停火协议,该协议将暂停以色列在加沙地带的军事行动,并确保仍被哈马斯在加沙扣押的剩余20名人质中的一些人获释。

Israeli forces strike ports in Yemen and Galaxy Leader ship, IDF says
Israeli Defense Forces struck three ports in Yemen overnight Monday local time, alleging that the ports are used by the Houthi forces to "transfer weapons from the Iranian regime," according to a statement from the IDF.
In the IDF strikes on Yemen, Israeli forces also claim they struck the Galaxy Leader, a ship that was taken over by Houthi forces in November 2023, shortly after the war between Israel and Hamas started following the events of Oct. 7, when Hamas led a terrorist attack on Israel that left 1,200 Israelis dead and 250 taken hostage.
The crew of the Galaxy Leader was held hostage from November 2023 until January 2025, when they were finally released as part of the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas earlier this year.
"Houthi forces installed a radar system on the ship and have been using it to track vessels in the international maritime arena to facilitate further terrorist activities," the IDF said in the statement.
Following the strikes, Houthi forces said they "effectively repelled" the Israeli attacks, according to a post from a Houthi spokesperson on X.
Israel's strikes on Yemen come amid a fragile ceasefire deal between Iran and Israel following the 12-day war between the two countries. Israel and Hamas are currently negotiating a new ceasefire deal that would pause Israeli military action in the Gaza Strip and secure the release of some of the remaining 20 living hostages still being held by Hamas in Gaza.
Negotiators for both Israel and Hamas arrived in Doha, Qatar, over the weekend to continue negotiations afterHamas responded positivelyto the U.S.-brokered Israeli-backed proposal submitted to them last week.
