Yemen had denied reports by the Saudi news channel Al-Hadath that Israel was responsible for airstrikes that targeted the Ras Isa fuel port between Friday night and Saturday morning, Ynet reported.
Rather than an airstrike, an explosion at the port occurred after a tanker carrying fuel exploded, according to the report.
The fuel port is located near Hodeidah in northwestern Yemen.
Al-Hadath also reported that a warship was attacking Houthi sites in the area.
Houthis fire missile at Israel just hours before
Reports on alleged strikes in the country comes several hours after Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said that they will respond forcefully to the Houthis after the IDF intercepted a missile from the terrorist organization.
“The Houthis continue to launch Iranian missiles at Israel. As we promised, we will respond forcefully in Yemen and wherever necessary,” he said.
The missile that the IDF intercepted still caused sirens to sound from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem area.
This is a developing story.
