Israel’s election claims and a Houthi strike claim may both run ahead of confirmation

With Israel’s count unfinished, Gadi Eisenkot said his camp had “made history” while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed a “great majority,” the BBC reported. Yemen’s Houthis said they hit Saudi Arabia’s Ras Tanura refinery, a strike Saudi authorities did not immediately confirm, Reuters reported, and oil prices rose, a Stocktwits report said. Read together, they may show claims being made and acted on before the facts behind them are confirmed.
