FAFO. Al-Masirah published footage showing the aftermath of strikes on the refinery, which the IDF later confirmed the strike.
IDF fighter jets struck Houthi military targets in the area of the Hodeidah Port in Yemen, the IDF confirmed Saturday evening.
Israeli airstrikes reportedly targeted oil refining facilities in Yemen's Hodeidah, according to the Houthi-run Yemeni news outlet, Al-Masirah.
Local sources in Yemen told Hezbollah-affiliated Al Mayadeen that there are power outages in several areas in Hodeidah as a result of the Israeli strikes that hit an electricity production plant.
Israel's Defense Ministry reported that discussions on approving the operational plans to strike in Yemen took place on Saturday morning under the lead of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, alongside IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi and other senior defense officials.
The decision was reportedly approved during a cabinet meeting on Saturday.
According to Israeli journalist Barak Ravid, who quoted a senior American source, the incident was attributable to Israel, which reportedly conducted the operation alone.

The senior official reportedly said that the location of the strike was a military target used by the Houthis for gaining and storing weapons.
The report followed explosions that were reportedly heard in the coastal Yemeni city.
Hodeida is controlled by the Houthis.
