Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said tonight (Saturday) that "the State of Israel expresses its sorrow to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the face of the difficult attack led by the Houthis, who are supported by Iran. "This attack is further proof that Iran's regional aggression knows no bounds, and reinforces the fear of removing the Revolutionary Guards from the list of terrorist organizations (FTO)."

Over the weekend, the Houthis attacked an oil reservoir in Jeddah using unmanned aerial vehicles. The facility attacked by the Houthis is located near the city's airport. In addition, facilities in Riyadh were also attacked by the Houthis. The attack was scheduled by the rebels as Jeddah prepares to host a Formula 1 race to be held in the city on Sunday. 

A facility of the Aramco oil company was damaged in the facility. A Houthi spokesman said the Aramco facility was attacked with missiles while two refineries were attacked with UAVs. This is the most serious attack the Houthis have been able to carry out so far.

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's reference to the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) concerns the demand made by the Iranians to remove the unit from the list of terrorist organizations as a condition for progress in renewing the nuclear agreement. Demand in this spirit was raised today by Iranian Foreign Minister Hussein Amir Abdullahian.
