At least two people were killed and 80 others injured on Saturday in Israeli airstrikes on the Al Hudaydah port in western Yemen. "The crime of the Israeli enemy targeting Al Hudaydah governorate has killed two people and injured 80 others, most of them with severe burns," the Houthi-affiliated Health Ministry said, according to the group's SABA news agency. Earlier, the Al-Masirah broadcaster reported that the airstrikes targeted oil storage facilities in the Al Hudaydah port. The broadcaster also aired images of massive fires which it claimed erupted following the airstrikes on the city's port. "The Israeli Air Force attacked targets in the city of Al Hudaydah in Yemen," the Israeli website Walla quoted an unnamed US official. For its part, the Israeli army said in a statement that its warplanes carried out airstrikes targeting Houthi positions at Al Hudaydah's port in Yemen. "The airstrikes were in response to hundreds of attacks against Israel over the past few months," it added. The Houthis have been targeting ships that are Israeli-owned, flagged, operated, or headed to Israeli ports in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden with missiles and drones in solidarity with Gaza, which has been under a devastating Israeli onslaught since Oct. 7 last year. — Agencies
