Israel has initiated airstrikes in Yemen, targeting key infrastructure, including power plants and the strategically important Hodeida port, a vital hub for the nation’s already fragile economy.
The strikes come on the heels of recent Israeli military actions in Gaza and Beirut, raising alarms about Israel’s expanding military influence in the region. According to reports, the attacks have focused on facilities constructed with international support, including those essential for providing energy to the Yemeni population.
The bombings have drawn widespread condemnation from various governments and factions across the Middle East. Many see this as part of Israel’s broader strategy to assert control over regional resources. Local authorities have reported severe damage to vital infrastructure, further impacting the livelihoods of civilians who are already enduring years of conflict and ongoing humanitarian crises.

As the situation develops, there are growing fears that the airstrikes may lead to further destabilization of an already volatile region.
In a related incident, Israeli fighter jets bombarded southern Beirut overnight into Saturday, reportedly targeting Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. The strikes sent panic through the capital’s southern suburbs, forcing many families to flee.
The region remains on high alert, with tensions escalating and the potential for further military actions looming large.
