Yemen's Al-Hodeidah Port Still Inactive, Two Months after IDF Strike
(Jerusalem Post) Ohad Merlin - On July 19, a Houthi explosive drone breached Israeli air defenses, murdering Yevgeny Ferder, 50, in Tel Aviv and injuring eight others. In response, Israel retaliated the next day against the main Houthi-controlled port of Al-Hodeidah. Eran Efrat, an entrepreneur who tracks shipping routes and cargo ships, said, "Back then I claimed that following a bombardment of a fuel terminal, assuming that pipelines and fuel tanks were damaged as well, a long time would be needed to fix everything," since rebuilding the oil and gas infrastructure is very difficult. According to ship tracking tools, there are "no listed tankers transporting fuel or liquefied gas in Al-Hodeidah....In addition, the port has issued an official notice to ships, telling them not to arrive."
