Airwars Assessment
At least one man, an employee working at the port, was killed and six others were injured by declared Israeli airstrikes on Ras Isa Port in Al-Hudaydah on January 10, 2025.
The IDF published a statement on their website on January 10th that “Air Force fighter jets, under the direction of the Intelligence and Navy branches, attacked terrorist targets of the Houthi terrorist regime in the western coastal strip and deep inside Yemen.” The statement added that “In addition, infrastructure was attacked at the ports of Ras Isa and Al-Hudaydah on the western coast of Yemen.”
Multiple local and national news sources, including @F24online, quoted “Yemeni source” in reporting that “US-Israeli-UK” airstrikes on Ras Isa Port killed one person and injured six others. Jordan News referred to “Ansar Allah (Houthi) media” as reporting that “an employee was killed and six others were wounded in the US-Israeli-British aggression on Ras Isa Port in Al-Hudaydah”. The strikes caused fuel tanks to catch fire in the port, according to @marebpress, which included an image of fuel trucks clustered in an area and smoke rising in the background.
A Facebook post from Adham Mohammad Jawah memorialized his dear brother and colleague Ahmed Hadi Amin Mohsen who was killed by the “Israeli-American-British aggression’s bombing of the Ras Isa oil facilities.
