“Our response to the Zionist aggression against Hodeidah Port will be implemented in the near future by targeting Tel Aviv once again,” Yemeni Navy spokesman Rafiq al-Jand said on Sunday, adding that the city has recently been included in Yemen’s bank of targets.

The “Israeli” raid came a day after the Yemeni forces fired a drone at Tel Aviv, which is at least 1,800 kilometers away from their country.
