Chaos erupted in Yemen’s Hodeidah province Sunday evening as residents captured dramatic mobile phone footage of Israeli airstrikes targeting key infrastructure. The attacks struck Hodeidah Port, Ras Isa Port, and two power stations – vital lifelines for the region – leaving at least 4 dead and 49 injured, according to local health authorities.
💡 Why It Matters: These strikes mark a significant escalation in regional tensions, disrupting critical supply routes for food and fuel. The viral videos show plumes of smoke rising near dockside cranes and panicked crowds scrambling for safety – offering a raw, unfiltered look at modern conflict through civilian lenses.
🌐 Global Impact: Hodeidah handles nearly 70% of Yemen’s imports, making this attack ripple far beyond immediate casualties. Humanitarian groups warn this could worsen what the UN already calls the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
📱 Digital Witnesses: “The sky turned orange, then everything shook,” shared @YemenUpdates24 on X, posting blurry footage of explosions. While Israel hasn’t claimed responsibility, the strikes come amid heightened Middle East tensions over recent months.
