In Yemen President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi was rumoured to have fled from the port of Aden to escape Houthi rebels. He had previously been held by the rebels under house arrest in the capital, Sana'a. Saudi Arabia launched military operations in Yemen, supported by other Arab countries, to halt the advance of the Iranian-backed Houthi militias. Adding to the chaos, an affiliate of Islamic State (IS) said it carried out the bombing of two mosques in Sana'a that killed at least 137 people. Relations between the White House and the government of Israel grew frostier. Senior officials leaked claims that Israel has spied on talks with Iran over a nuclear deal; and Barack Obama spoke of a "policy difference" with Israel regarding the establishment of a Palestinian state.
