Israel continued its bombardment of Hezbollah targets in Lebanon on Sunday, killing over 100 people in a day. It opened another front as it bombed Houthi targets in Yemen amid fears of a wider conflagration in the Middle East.
Israel launched attacks against Houthi targets in Yemen on Sunday, with the Jewish nation’s Defence Minister Yoav Gallant declaring that “no place is too far” for their forces.
Dozens of aircraft, including fighter jets, power plants and a seaport at the Ras Issa and Hodeidah ports in Yemen were targeted in the airstrikes, according to a statement by the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF). “The IDF attacked power plants and a port, which are used to import oil. Through the targeted infrastructure and ports, the Houthi regime transfers Iranian weapons to the region, and supplies for military purposes, including oil,” the IDF said in a statement.
The attack came two days after Israel killed Hassan Nasrallah, the head of Lebanon’s Hezbollah group which has engaged in cross-border fire with the country to show solidarity with Hamas in Gaza. It is reported that the bombs used by Israel in the airstrike carried out in Beirut that killed top Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah were American-made guided weapons, reported media citing a US senator.
