Simple. They won't cover it; pretend that it never happened.

Supposedly a joint strike on Oil Depots (not fields like the tweet says) with British and US support but that's unclear/unverified at the moment.
Just a few years ago, Yemenis had some fun striking Aramco sites which more or less put a capstone on the Saudi aggression at that point. Wonder if they'll do the same in Israel.
On a more sentimental level, there is really something tremendously courageous about the Yemenis being willing to spill their own blood in support for Palestine - no matter how cynically you view the Houthis. Along with Hezbollah and tacitly Iran, they're the only people actually doing something.

Footage of activation of the Trophy active protection complex on the Israeli Merkava IV tank. The tank was fired upon by a Hezbollah unit using the Iranian Almas ATGM; technical information about it is in the link to the video in the comments to the video. The video was filmed in the vicinity of Chabad Yarin in northern Israel. When the ATGM approached the tank, the Trophy defense system was activated at the last moment; the system dropped the protective shields from the Trophy launcher, but did not have time to fire the ammunition. It is unclear from the view whether the tank was hit or not.
I upvoted the above post, but I would like to clarify that I'm not upvoting because of the news/rumors of an Israeli strike on Yemeni oil fields. I'm upvoting for this comment by @CaribouTruth:

The guy who wrote that article just did an interview with Kim Iversen. She even confronted him about himself having to be biased due to the fact that his pay cheques come from the US gov. He made some outlandish claims about how the US helped Iraq against ISIS and insisted that Russia carpet bombs civilians but the US and Israel never ever ever do. A very bloodthirsty lunatic overall.
Israel confirmed the strike, using F-15, F-35, and tankers
Flights rerouted atm, except Yemenia

^^ If true, then those Arab partners (i.e. KSA) are fair game now for Yemen. Israel probably wants KSA and UAE to restart fighting with Yemen.

I think there was a tweet few months ago when houthis decided to start the blockade against ships associated with Israel genocidal campaign. Against coalition led by western powers. On one side, the US war enthusiasts tweeted pics of the might of US navy. On the other side, someone commented it was amazing that it was one the poorest country in the region that decided to stick up for the Palestinians. A country that was itself been ravaged by war, hunger and sanctions. That resonated with me.
this Israeli strike is escalating things even further. A wider regional war is still not off the table. I’m not sure if it has ever been though
Italian tankers could be involved.
