Israeli airstrikes, with reported involvement from UK and US forces, have targeted fuel depots at the port of Al-Hudaydah in Yemen, resulting in massive fires. The airstrikes are reported to be a response to a recent drone attack on Tel Aviv, for which the Yemeni Houthis claimed responsibility. This marks the first time Israel has targeted Yemen since October 7th. The strikes have caused significant damage to the fuel storage facilities and oil refineries at the port. Yemeni defense forces responded by firing surface-to-air missiles at the attacking planes. Reports indicate that the strikes have led to numerous casualties in the vicinity of the airport.
