A massive fire has erupted at a fuel depot in Yemen’s Al-Hudaydah port following a series of Israeli airstrikes. The Israeli Air Force (IAF) conducted the strikes in response to a drone attack on Tel Aviv. This marks the first time Israel has targeted Yemen since October 7th. Initial reports indicate that the airstrikes were part of a joint operation involving the UK and the US. The strikes targeted the Houthis in Hodeidah. Preliminary media reports suggest the airstrikes were likely carried out by Israel. The situation in Al-Hudaydah remains tense as more sites are reportedly being targeted by Israeli planes.
