In a sharp escalation of Middle East tensions, the Israeli military has issued urgent evacuation warnings for three key ports in Yemen — Ras Isa, Hodeidah, and Salif — late Sunday night. The move follows Israel’s vow to act independently in defending itself after being excluded from a recent ceasefire agreement between the United States and Yemen’s Houthi rebels.

The warnings were broadcast via social media by IDF Arabic-language spokesperson Avichay Adraee, signaling potential Israeli airstrikes in Yemen in the coming hours.

🚀 Missile Attack Sparks Response

The evacuation notice comes just 48 hours after Israel intercepted a missile fired from Yemen — the first such attack since former U.S. President Donald Trump announced the US-Houthi ceasefire deal last week. The missile attack has been widely interpreted as a Houthi act of defiance and solidarity with Gaza, as the group continues to express support for Palestinians amid the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict.

Despite the ceasefire, the Houthis declared they would not cease attacks against Israel, stating that their actions are in support of the Palestinian cause.

🛡️ Israel: “We Will Defend Ourselves Alone”

Reacting strongly to being left out of the agreement, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz made a bold statement last week:

“Israel must be able to defend itself by itself against any threat and any enemy. This has been true in the face of many past challenges, and it will remain true in the future.”

This is the second evacuation alert issued by the IDF within a week. Last Tuesday, Israel warned civilians to leave Sana’a International Airport, Yemen’s main airport, before launching airstrikes that reportedly disabled the airport’s functionality.

⚠️ Regional Instability on the Rise

The situation raises fresh concerns over the fragility of ceasefires in the Middle East, as well as the potential for a broader regional conflict. While the US-Houthi ceasefire was intended to de-escalate violence in Yemen, Israel’s exclusion from the deal and the Houthis’ continued aggression signal that peace in the region remains elusive.

International observers are watching closely as Israel weighs its next steps. With tensions high and military movements underway, the risk of a new front opening in the conflict is growing by the day.
