New footage reportedly shows the aftermath of a Houthi missile strike on the Saudi port city of Jizan, according to Israeli analyst Yossi Eliezer. The video, shared on his the source, appears to show damage in the city, which lies on the Red Sea coast. Eliezer contrasted the attack with the lack of a US strike on Iran overnight, stating that the Houthis had struck Jizan while the US did not attack Iran.
The Zioneer reported earlier this morning at 09:33 that the Houthis had struck Jizan with missiles overnight. A subsequent report at 09:45 noted that Saudi Arabia had struck Houthi targets in Yemen and the Houthis retaliated with missiles and drones, indicating a broader escalation on this front.
The Houthi movement, which controls large parts of Yemen, has repeatedly targeted Saudi infrastructure since the beginning of the Yemen war. The current exchange appears to be the largest Houthi assault on Saudi Arabia in years, though the footage has not been independently verified.
