The Israeli military conducted airstrikes against Yemen’s Red Sea port of Hodeidah on Sunday, killing at least four people and wounding 29.
Yemen’s Health Ministry said the death toll is preliminary and could rise. According to Al Mayadeen, the strikes hit port facilities, a power generation plant, and the Hodeidah airport.
The Israeli military said it carried out the strikes in response to the Houthis firing missiles toward Israel. On Friday, the Houthis claimed they launched attacks on Israeli cities and several US warships.
Dozens of Israeli warplanes were involved in the strikes on Hodeidah, which the Israeli military said targeted port and oil facilities and “sensitive” Houthi military sites.
US and Israeli officials told Axios that Israel notified US Central Command ahead of the strikes, meaning Israel coordinated with the US on the attack. Since January, the US has been bombing Yemen as part of a new campaign that has failed to stop Houthi attacks on shipping.
Israel bombed Yemen for the first time back in July in response to a Houthi drone attack on Tel Aviv that killed one civilian. The Israeli Air Force also targeted Hodeidah in July, hitting oil infrastructure and killing six civilians.
The US-backed Saudi/UAE war against the Houthis from 2015-2022 involved heavy airstrikes and a blockade, and the Houthis only became a more capable fighting force during that time.
The war killed at least 377,000 people, with more than half dying of starvation and disease caused by the siege. A ceasefire between the Houthis and Saudis has held relatively well since April 2022, but new US sanctions are now blocking the implementation of a lasting peace deal.
What did the Houthis expect was going to happen when they fire a missile at Ben Gurion Airport? I wonder if the Houthis leaders have figure out that they are next?
What did Israel expect was going to happen when people in the region objected to their ongoing genocide on the Palestinians in Gaza? Of course, that question is moot when your genocide is backed and bankrolled by the superpower.
When are you going to play the "genocide" card with respect to Houthis? Or are you going to come in second again like you did in Lebanon?
Knapp should ban you for lying repeatedly. Either produce something where I said Lebanon was a genocide or shut the fuck up. I think you're trying to keep yourself from admitting that Gaza is actually a genocide so you just do this shit to soothe your guilt. But then that would mean you have an ounce of empathy so scratch that.
Lying doesn’t violate the site’s guidelines.
Yes, I knew that. You've posted the guidelines several times in the past. It was meant in a way to mean there should be special rules for him since he keeps repeating that I said something that I didn't. I didn't actually think you would ban him. But he is lying.
Clearly, Israel can bomb whoever and whatever they want whenever they want. It seems their supposed human superiority has given them 'chosen ones' status with god and obviously, god has more power than the u.n. Maybe this is why no international laws or humanitarian laws seem to apply to the u.s. backed government of israel. It's all fine with the west, mass arbitrary arrests, no charges neccesary and torture is a part of every visit to these moral prisons. They can throw Palestinians off roofs, chop them with bulldozers, bury them alive even. After all that blessed fun, they just fill a dump truck with corpses and dump it on the street in gaza. Now, the gods have directed the Zionists to expand to Lebanon and yemen, but they are far from done…God's work is never done you know and there's savages behind every apartment block, so the genocide will not be stopped. The American backed zionists will root out all evil, which is anyone who disagrees about their version of supremacy, aka antisemitism. These 'people' , make a mockery of all human morals and values, with their murdering , thieving and treachery. Isn't religion so kind and loving…like a sinister comedy from hell.
"Israel can bomb whoever and whatever they want " Israel only bombs people who attack Israel. Houthis chose to attack Israel and they got bombed. Not a very heavy bombing, more of message type bombing.
The problem is, Israel will never run out of enemies to bomb. So off to war we go , to defend a cult of a violent ethnostate. Israel has always been an agressor and has never been interested in peace, never. When they talk peace, it’s more like a diversion that leads to another massacre, that kills afew ‘terrorists’ as well as a hundred civilians. Israel are absolute criminals, violating every law in the book, they are indefensible…unless your areligious zealot or a wealthy zionist.
I just realized the secular Israeli's like Bibi believe they are God; i.e. the collective Zionist faction around the world. Begin said 'we are the master race.'
Ansarallah had already drained the tanks. So Israel wastes more bombs it's going to need later. This is the strategy of the Axis: bleed Israel and the US of its weapons, just like Russia is doing to Ukraine and the US.
Tel Aviv will keep bombing until they run out of bombs and then Wash. will step in with their own bombs and American lives to protect Israel. Those planes and ships and troops are there for that reason according to the Pentagon.
Israel is bent on stoking a regional war. Lord have mercy how do we get off this path? pray for peace.
