Fire extinguished at Saudi Aramco refinery amid escalating regional clash

A fire broke out at an oil facility near the Yemen border, according to Saudi Arabia. The incident occurred close to the West Bank village of Al-Mughayyir, where settlers planned to gather on Monday morning as Palestinian farmers returned to cultivate their land. The attack on Palestinian homes in Beita, south of Nablus, came after Israel barred nonresidents from entering the Christian village of Taybeh due to past violent incidents.

Meanwhile, Houthi rebels in Yemen continued their attacks on Mocha, a Red Sea port city, resulting in civilian casualties. The U.S. shared that Iran was in a dire financial situation, with President Trump calling it very bad shape and having no money to pay its soldiers.
