Houthi Attacks on Saudi Oil Facilities Spark Regional Tensions
Houthi rebels have launched attacks on Saudi Arabia's oil facilities, sparking fires and wounding at least 73 people. The incidents are part of a broader escalation in fighting between the US-backed Saudi government and Iranian proxy forces.
The attacks come just days after deadly clashes in Iran, Lebanon, and Gaza, which have raised tensions across the Middle East.
Britain's government has announced that it will ban goods from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. Israel responded by saying it will close the British consulate in Jerusalem.
