Flames ’seen across Middle East’ as Israel strikes Yemen

Israeli jets struck an oil depot at al-Hudaydah Port in Yemen on Saturday sparking a large fire that officials said could be seen across the Middle East. The strike on Saturday afternoon came after Houthi rebels launched a drone attack at Israel killing one civilian and wounding eight others. Footage showed the port of Hudaydah in flames as well as long lines at gas stations in Yemen’s capital of Sana’a. A Houthi spokesman confirmed that an oil storage facility and electrical installations were hit. Although he admitted there were casualties he did not confirm how many. Yoav Gallant, the Israeli defence minister, said the fire “is seen across the Middle East and the significance is clear”. #yemen #israel #strike Read more here:
