Yemenis ‘shocked and horrified’ by Hodeidah bombing
A relative of a victim of Israel’s attack on Hodeidah says residents of the port city were “shocked and horrified by the bombing”.
“We already have a severe fuel crisis, a severe electricity crisis and severe living crisis. Yemen is exhausted and this attack has further depleted the fuel and essential supplies needed by the people,” Ali Al Saqqaf told Al Jazeera, adding that lines had formed at petrol stations due to fears of a shortage.
“The American and Israeli strikes are happening in front of the world with no deterrence in place,” he said.
Houthi-affiliated Al Masirah TV said the Israeli attack targeted oil storage facilities and a power plant in Yemen’s Red Sea port city of Hodeidah, igniting a fire.
It was the first known direct attack by Israel against the Houthis since October, while the Iran-aligned Houthis have been targeting ships in the Red Sea in what they say is a bid to pressure Israel to end its war on Gaza for months.
