Yemen’s Houthis, officially known as Ansar Allah, announced on Thursday a missile attack against Israel as the Yemeni group has continued its attacks in support of the Palestinians in Gaza after reaching a ceasefire with the US.
Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said the attack targeted Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport, which was struck by a Yemeni missile earlier this month. Thursday’s attack was intercepted by Israeli air defenses, according to the Israeli military.
According to The Times of Israel, debris from either the missile or the interceptor landed in a Jewish settlement in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. No injuries were reported, but the attack set off sirens across central Israel.
“The missile has successfully achieved its objective, causing millions of occupying Zionists to flee to shelters and halting airport operations for nearly an hour,” Saree said, according to Yemen’s SABA news agency.
The latest Yemeni attack on Israel comes nearly a week and a half after President Trump announced a surprise ceasefire deal with the Houthis. He framed the truce as a US victory, but the US really gave up trying to stop Yemeni attacks on Israel after a month and a half of heavy airstrikes failed to deter the Houthis.
Israel was reportedly caught off guard by the US-Yemen truce. “Israel will defend itself by itself,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said after Trump’s announcement. “If others join us—our American friends—all the better. If they don’t, we will still defend ourselves on our own.”
The Trump administration launched its bombing campaign in Yemen on March 15, and, according to the US military, it conducted over 1,000 strikes. The bombing campaign had a devastating impact on civilians, killing more than 200.
When is Israel going to have enough of this nonsense? Every time Houthis fire a missile at Israel, Israel need to flatten something of value in Yemen. A power plant, a bridge, an apartment complex, a hospital. Something that hurts. It is waste of time just shooting at missile firing sites.
When are you going to stop your pro-Zionist nonsense? Your hasbara is a waste of oxygen.

Like Hamas has any use for the ICC! Jordan, Palestine, and Tunisia are the only ICC member states in the MENA region. Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Kuwait, Morocco, Oman, Syria, United Arab Emirates, Yemen, and Israel have not ratified the Rome Statute.
But since Gaza and the West Bank are in Palestine, relevant crimes committed there, by any party, fall under the ICC’s jurisdiction.
Then Hamas should not have initiated this mess by massacring Israelis, rounding up hundreds of hostage of all ages, and then firing five thousand rockets into Israel's civilian populated areas to set the ground rules.
Zionists should not have initiated this mess by violating international law. Israel should have followed rules set out in the Balfour Declaration, instead of committing genocidal war crimes against the Indigenous people.

I suppose the Zionists didn't take that part of the declaration:
too seriously. Not about Palestinians for absolute certain, but also not about Jews living in other countries, all the way up to the Zionists collaborating with the Nazi's. But then the Balfour declaration is itself a historical crime. It never spoke of a Jewish State either, but Palestine was never for the British colonialist power to give away to Jewish Europeans.
The Balfour Declaration can be summarized as: the promise by one nation to another nation the territory of a third nation, without the consent of the inhabitants. A monumental historical blunder.
Like Israel and the US doesn’t want Palestine to be a member of the ICC. 75% of UN member states recognize the State of Palestine.
Palestine is a members, but the Palestinian Authority has not control of these Islamist terrorists.
The ICC has the authority to prosecute war criminals. Who is preventing the ICC from arresting Netanyahu? The fascist U$A.
Well they have leveled Gaza and women and children are dying in a daily basis. Isn’t that enough?
Tell that to Hamas, who initiated this mess and could have put a stop to it at anytime in the last 19 months by simply laying down their arms and releasing all the hostages. It was Hamas' choice to start this and it is Hamas' choice to end it, and the same with the Houthis.
What’s the point of continuing to lie? The Israeli regime has been crystal clear that no, “laying down their arms and releasing all the hostages” would not “put a stop to it.” And that even sets aside the fate of the thousands of Palestinian hostages held by the Israeli regime.
Nice try! If Hamas laid down their weapons, then would come terms of surrender. It would have saved the good people of Gaza 19 months of chaos and suffering.
Every last Israeli and Israeli settlement was removed from Gaza in 2005, and it appeased no one, and within weeks, Hamas rockets began to rain down on Israel– Lesson learned!
Every rocket fired into Israel's civilian populated areas is both an act of war and a war crime, as well as every cross border act of terrorism. Please think before you post!
Bullshit.
Hamas agreed to a two-state solution based on the 1967 borders, and stated their conflict was with the Zionist project not with the Jews. Therefore, they clearly do not want to destroy Israel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Hamas_charter
The Genocide of Palestinians is an act of war and a crime against humanity.

Please think before you make a fool out of yourself.
Israel WANTED O7 to happen, let it happen, so that it could "justify", once again, its EVIL actions! Those who support Israel in all this are also dumb enough to have taken the "kill shot"!

Statement of the International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor Karim A.A. Khan KC:
On the basis of evidence collected and examined by my Office, I have reasonable grounds to believe that Yahya SINWAR (Head of the Islamic Resistance Movement (“Hamas”) in the Gaza Strip), Mohammed Diab Ibrahim AL-MASRI, more commonly known as DEIF (Commander-in-Chief of the military wing of Hamas, known as the Al-Qassam Brigades), and Ismail HANIYEH (Head of Hamas Political Bureau) bear criminal responsibility for the following war crimes and crimes against humanity committed on the territory of Israel and the State of Palestine (in the Gaza strip) from at least 7 October 2023:
Extermination as a crime against humanity, contrary to article 7(1)(b) of the Rome Statute;
Murder as a crime against humanity, contrary to article 7(1)(a), and as a war crime, contrary to article 8(2)(c)(i);
Taking hostages as a war crime, contrary to article 8(2)(c)(iii);
Rape and other acts of sexual violence as crimes against humanity, contrary to article 7(1)(g), and also as war crimes pursuant to article 8(2)(e)(vi) in the context of captivity;
Torture as a crime against humanity, contrary to article 7(1)(f), and also as a war crime, contrary to article 8(2)(c)(i), in the context of captivity;
Other inhumane acts as a crime against humanity, contrary to article 7(l)(k), in the context of captivity;
Cruel treatment as a war crime contrary to article 8(2)(c)(i), in the context of captivity; and
Outrages upon personal dignity as a war crime, contrary to article 8(2)(c)(ii), in the context of captivity.
My Office submits that the war crimes alleged in these applications were committed in the context of an international armed conflict between Israel and Palestine, and a non-international armed conflict between Israel and Hamas running in parallel. We submit that the crimes against humanity charged were part of a widespread and systematic attack against the civilian population of Israel by Hamas and other armed groups pursuant to organisational policies. Some of these crimes, in our assessment, continue to this day.
Blah, blah, Yahya.

Just like Hamas the Houthis have done a pretty good job of getting their own people killed and starving, as the Yemen civil war has resulted in widespread displacement, with an estimated 4.5 million people internally displaced and over 18 million in need of humanitarian assistance. The conflict has exacerbated an already dire humanitarian situation, leading to food insecurity, malnutrition, and a high risk of famine. –UNHCR, and UNICEF
Would it "hurt" those firing the missiles? Look at me asking YOU that question. As if you give a flying fuck about any innocent human being getting killed. But a Hospital? That's sick even for a sick fuck like yourself.
Never…! The nonsense is hurting Israel…!
Keep it going…. every day…!
