A series of Israeli airstrikes Sanaa, Yemen’s Houthi-controlled capital, targeted fires early Thursday, sparking fires at energy facilities and the Red Sea port city of Hodeida.
“The targets hit by the (Israeli army) were used by the Houthi forces for military purposes,” a statement said. “The attacks degrade the Houthi terrorist regime, preventing it from exploiting the targets for military and terrorist purposes, including smuggling Iranian weapons into the region.”
Israeli forces carried out the attacks on ports and energy infrastructure in Yemen after shelling Houthi missiles who were shot before reaching Israeli territory, according to IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari.

“Rocket and rocket sirens sounded due to the possibility of debris falling during the interception,” the Israeli military said.
Sirens sounded near Tel Aviv and surrounding areas, and a large explosion was heard overhead at the time. The Houthis did not immediately claim the rocket attack but said a statement would be issued within hours, following a pattern of how the group claims their attacks.

I have been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any fascinating article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all site owners and bloggers made just right content material as you did, the internet might be much more useful than ever before. “Baseball is 90 percent mental.
