In Sanaa, Yemen, on Friday, September 27, 2024, Houthi supporters were seen raising a Hezbollah flag during a rally against Israel and the United States. The photo, taken by Osamah Abdulrahman, shows the strong support for the Lebanese militant group among the Houthi rebels.
Two days later, on Sunday, September 29, 2024, a large fire and plume of smoke could be seen in the port city of Hodeida, Yemen. This was a result of Israeli strikes on the city, which is controlled by the Houthi rebels.
