Aboard an aging Boeing 707, thousands of feet above the Red Sea, I don a set of high-tech 3D goggles and stare at the small TV monitor recessed in a bank of retro dials and switches.

Fires raged across the Yemeni city of Hudaydah following a series of strikes by the Israeli Air Force on Sunday. Video shared on social media showed a huge explosion at the city's port, while footage recorded by Houthi-controlled Al Masirah TV captured fires blazing at the Al-Hali power station.

The strikes in Yemen attacked Ras Issa and the port city of Hodeidah, the Israeli military said. The Houthi rebel group said Israel targetted fuel tanks and two power stations.
