The Yemeni Red Sea port of Hodeidah was functioning at limited capacity on Tuesday despite heavy damage by an Israeli air strike, local authorities said. Israeli warplanes bombed a fuel depot at the Houthi-controlled port on Saturday, killing nine people and injuring 83 in response to a drone attack on Tel Aviv that killed one and wounded several others a day earlier. The attack on Hodeidah, the first by Israel on Yemen, sparked a huge fire. One resident tells The National that smoke continued to rise on Tuesday morning.
