JERUSALEM (AA) - The Israeli army on Sunday evening issued a warning to Yemenis at three Red Sea ports in western Yemen — Ras Isa, Al Hudaydah and Salif —urging them to evacuate the areas ahead of a potential military action.

In a statement on X, Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee said: “Warning to all those present at the seaports under the control of the Houthi regime: Ras Isa port, Al Hudaydah port, and Salif port.”

“This is an urgent and important warning. Due to the Houthi regime’s use of these ports for its operations, we urge everyone in these areas to evacuate immediately to ensure your safety,” Adraee added.

The Israeli military did not specify a deadline for the evacuation but stated the warning would remain in effect “until further notice.”
