Yemen's Houthi rebels have attributed a recent series of strikes in the country to Israel, following the Houthis' claim of an attack on Tel Aviv. The Houthi-controlled Al Masirah TV reported airstrikes in Hodeidah, a port city in western Yemen, targeting oil facilities. The strikes resulted in casualties, including deaths and injuries.
Reports indicate that Israel is being held responsible for the attacks, although there has been no official confirmation from Israeli authorities. US officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, have suggested that Israel was behind the airstrikes in Yemen.
If these allegations are verified, it would mark the first instance of Israel conducting military operations in Yemen. The situation underscores the escalating tensions in the region and the complex web of geopolitical dynamics at play.
