[Reality Check]

Saudi Arabian and Gulf State Jets - F15s and F16s - are being refueled in the air by the United States - as part of operations to protect the internationally recognized government, and loyal militia forces, of Yemin.

This is occuring as the U.S. reportdly provides arms to local Yemeni militias in Aden fighting the Houithi rebels, and also fighting the former Yemini army units personnally loyal to the former long time President of Yemen, Ali Abdullah Saleh.

The current internationally recognized President of Yemin, Hadi, is in Saudi Arabia, after he fled his Presidential palace near the port of Aden weeks ago.
