The Israeli Defense Forces said its fighter jets struck military targets in Yemen's Red Sea port city of Hodeidah 'in response to the hundreds of attacks carried out against the state of Israel in recent months'. Airstrikes hit a refinery and electricity infrastructure, sparking a huge blaze. It was the first direct hit on Yemen since Houthis there began targeting Israel with missiles and drones last year.
