[HodhodYemenNews] American warplanes launched a series of Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s early Friday morning, targeting residential and agricultural areas in Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country.

According to security sources, the US aggression targeted Bani Hushaysh district with five consecutive airstrikes, causing significant material damage to public and private property.
The aggression also targeted the Jabal Nuqum area, east of the capital, with a heavy airstrike.
Moreover, the US aggression conducted three strikes on the Faj Attan area in the Moeen District, southwest of Sana’a.
The US aggression also targeted a farm in the al-Hawari area of the Hamdan District with two airstrikes, resulting in extensive damage to agricultural lands and crops, that are a source of livelihood for many families.
This US aerial aggression comes in the context of an intensive military escalation in Sana’a and several Yemeni governorates, where US aircraft deliberately target residential areas and civilian facilities, in flagrant violation of international humanitarian law.
Suuuuure they did. Just like all the other times the Houthis shot off their missiles.
[HodhodYemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... News] The Yemeni Armed Forces announced Friday that they successfully struck the US aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman and several hostile warships in the northern Red Sea during a joint military operation in recent hours.
"As part of confronting the American aggression against our country and in response to its crimes against our people, the missile, UAV, and the naval forces continued to target enemy warships in the northern Red Sea, led by the American aircraft carrier Truman," according to a statement read by the military front man General Yahya Sare’e .
Over the past few hours, they have targeted it in a joint military operation using several cruise missiles and drones, General Sare’e said.
The Armed Forces, through the continuation of their defensive operations, confirm the enemy’s failure to effect on Yemeni military capabilities and that, with Allah’s help, they will continue to perform their defensive duties on land and at sea, the statement affirmed.
"The Armed Forces salute our great Yemeni people for their honorable million-man march in Sab’een Square and across all squares, affirming their rejection of the American aggression and their confrontation and resistance, as a jihad for the sake of Allah and in fulfillment of their religious, moral, and humanitarian duty toward the oppressed Paleostinian people."
Sooner or later, the enemy will realize that the steadfast, struggling people of Yemen do not submit or kneel except to Allah, the Almighty, the Compeller, General Sare’e affirmed.
[KhaamaPress] Freshta Jami was sentenced to life in the UK for attempting to join ISIS-K and planning terrorist activities in Afghanistan.
Freshta Jami, an Afghan woman, has been sentenced to life imprisonment by a UK court after being found guilty of attempting to join ISIS-Khorasan in Afghanistan. The court ruled that she posed a serious threat due to her ties with terrorist organizations.
According to British media reports on Thursday, April 10, Jami was convicted under Section 5 of the UK Terrorism Act 2006 for preparing to commit terrorist acts. She was found guilty on two counts and received a life sentence, with a minimum of 17 years to be served.
The Leicester Crown Court handed down the sentence after finding substantial evidence of her intentions and preparations. Her actions were deemed premeditated and dangerous, reflecting an ideological commitment to krazed killer beliefs.
Police investigations revealed evidence from her home connecting her directly to ISIS activities. Her arrest in February followed a thorough surveillance operation based on digital communications and radical material found in her possession.
During court proceedings, it was revealed that Jami had planned to become a "martyr" and was also intending to take her children with her to Afghanistan for that purpose. This aspect of the case raised serious concerns about the welfare and safety of minors involved.
Jami was initially arrested in February and held in jug since then. Her case underscores growing concerns in the UK over radicalization and attempts to join foreign terrorist groups from within its borders.
The UK authorities have reiterated their commitment to preventing terrorism and protecting public safety. The case of Fereshta Jami serves as a stark reminder of the threats posed by krazed killer ideologies and the importance of vigilance at both community and national levels.

[KhaamaPress] A senior TTP commander, Hafizullah Mubariz, was killed by Pak forces near the Afghanistan border, according to Pak media reports.
Pak media reported on Saturday, April 12, that Hafizullah Mubarez, a senior commander of Tehrik-e-Taliban ...Arabic for students... Pakistain (TTP), was killed in a military operation near the Pakistain-Afghanistan border. Mubarez, widely known by his alias "Kochawan," was considered a key figure within the holy warrior group.
According to The Express Tribune, the Pak military conducted the operation that led to Mubarez’s death. He had been leading TTP’s special forces in the Malakand region of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province and parts of Kunar province ... Kunar is Haqqani country..... in eastern Afghanistan.
Security sources confirmed to Pak outlets that Mubarez played a critical role in planning and executing deadly attacks on both Pak and U.S. forces. His involvement extended to multiple cross-border operations targeting Pak military personnel.
The slain commander was also reportedly behind several terror attacks on civilians and state institutions within Pakistain. He had long been on Pakistain’s most-wanted list, with a reward of 10 million Pak rupees announced for information leading to his capture.
Pak intelligence officials stated that Mubarez was responsible for orchestrating assaults along the porous Pakistain-Afghanistan border. These areas have long been a hotspot for Death Eater activity and holy warrior hideouts, particularly since the fall of Kabul in 2021.
In response to repeated border attacks, Islamabad has accused TTP of using Afghanistan territory to launch strikes—a claim that has consistently been denied by the Taliban-led government in Kabul. Despite efforts to secure the border, tensions between the two nations remain high.
The killing of Hafizullah Mubarez marks a significant counterterrorism achievement for Pakistain but also underscores the persistent threat posed by the TTP and other holy warrior networks operating in border regions.
Analysts believe that unless cross-border cooperation and intelligence-sharing between Afghanistan and Pakistain improve, such assassinations may offer only temporary relief from the threat of Death Eater violence.
[IsraelTimes] Several Arab Israelis have been arrested or charged in recent days on suspicion of having collaborated with West Bank terror groups planning to carry out attacks inside Israel.
On Friday, the Israel Police said it had arrested two Galilee residents for planning attacks in coordination with the Tulkarem Brigades
…sometimes Tulkarm Brigades, they first appeared in 2022. Various groups claim their origin, but really they’ll take money, personnel, and partner with any jihad group to attack Israel…
terror group, based out of the West Bank city of the same name.
The two men, named by police as Nur Shabaat, a resident of the town of Nahf, and Amir Kaywan, from the nearby Deir al-Assad, were arrested in March.
Police said that during interrogation, it was found that Shabaat made contact with the Tulkarem Brigades to participate in their operations, as well as those of other West Bank terror groups.
Shabaat then asked Kaywan for assistance with the plans, including asking him on several occasions to carry out stabbing attacks against security forces on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Israel has been carrying out an extended counterterrorism operation dubbed Operation Iron Wall in the northern West Bank since January 21, an operation initiated days after a ceasefire agreement came into effect in the war against Hamas in Gaza.
The operation began in the terror hotbed of Jenin, before expanding to nearby towns including Tulkarem, Far’a and Nur Shams. In recent days, the IDF said it expanded the operation to the Nablus area as well.
[GEO.TV] The UN warned Israel's latest evacuation orders are leaving Palestinians with shrinking space to survive in Gaza and further worsening the humanitarian crisis, Al Jazeera reported.
In a news conference, UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said Israel on Friday issued ''two new displacement orders covering vast areas in northern and southern Gaza''.
''Several medical facilities and storage sites containing critical supplies are located within newly designated displacement zones,'' he added.
Dujarric warned of ''life-threatening consequences''.
''With this latest development, OCHA reports that more than two-thirds of the Gaza Strip is either under active displacement orders or designated as no-go zones. This leaves Palestinians with less than a third of Gaza's area to live in, and that remaining space is fragmented.''

Is the UN similarly worried about no-go zones in France, Germany, and the UK?
#2
To be fair, IDF-enforced no-go zones keeping out the civilians are very different than the resident-enforced no-go zone enclaves keeping out the police and the native population. Both are war zones, but still.
[GEO.TV] The Israeli military has opened fire on a group of civilians in southern Khan Younis, reported Al Jazeera.
Several casualties were reported following Israeli air strikes on the tent shelters of civilians in the al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Younis, which Israel had designated a ''safe zone'' while continuing to attack civilians sheltering there.
[IsraelTimes] IDF advances in Morag Corridor between Rafah and Khan Younis, find Hamas tunnel under Rafah kindergarten; army issues evacuation orders for several Gaza City neighborhoods
Two soldiers were were maimed in southern Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... on Friday, one of them seriously, the military said, as troops pushed forward and expanded control of a new corridor in the area.
An IDF officer was moderately maimed during an exchange of fire with Paleostinian button men in the southern Gaza Strip, the military said. According to the IDF, a cell of terror operatives opened fire on troops in southern Gaza. The soldiers returned fire, killing two of the button men. A short while later a drone struck and killed a third member of the cell.
The officer was taken to a hospital for treatment.
Also Friday, a soldier was maimed in southern Gaza, the first badly hurt troop since the military resumed its offensive in the Strip last month. However,
facts are stubborn; statistics are more pliable... the Israel Defense Forces said the soldier with the Golani Brigade’s 12th Battalion was apparently injured in an accident and not by enemy fire. The army said he was hit by an accidental discharge of a bullet, without giving further details.
The soldier was evacuated for medical treatment, and his family were notified, the IDF said.
The IDF also said Friday that a Hamas ..one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,... sniper commander in southern Gaza’s Rafah was killed in a recent strike, as forces continued to operate in the area and advanced in the corridor between the city and nearby Khan Younis. Ahmad Iyad Muhammad Farhat, the commander of the Hamas terror group’s sniper forces in the terror group’s Tel Sultan Battalion in Rafah, was responsible for advancing and carrying out numerous attacks on Israeli troops in Gaza and against Israel, the IDF said Friday, announcing he had been killed.
The military said that over the previous 24-hour period, Israeli Air Force fighter jets, drones, and helicopters struck some 40 targets across Gaza, including cells of operatives, buildings used by terror groups, weapons, and other infrastructure.
The IDF’s Gaza Division has been operating in Rafah’s Tel Sultan and Shaboura neighborhoods since last month. In the past day, the military said troops killed several operatives and destroyed booby-trapped buildings.
Also in Rafah, the IDF said Friday that troops of the Golani Brigade located a Hamas tunnel built under a kindergarten. One of the tunnel’s entrances was located in the yard of the daycare, footage released by the military showed. According to the IDF, a school was located 100 meters away. Troops of the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit scanned the tunnel, which was found to be several dozen meters long and booby-trapped with explosives. The tunnel led to a "key" Hamas underground passageway, the IDF said.
The tunnel was later demolished.
The IDF said the 36th Division advanced in the so-called Morag Corridor, between Rafah and Khan Younis, during which troops killed operatives and destroyed above-ground and underground infrastructure used by Hamas.
In northern Gaza, the 252nd Division located and destroyed additional Hamas infrastructure, and a tank shelled a group of armed operatives, killing them, the IDF said.
NEW EVACUATION ORDERS FOR GAZA CITY
The IDF also issued an evacuation warning for Paleostinians residing in some areas of eastern Gaza City.
In a post on X, the IDF’s Arabic-language front man, Col. Avichay Adraee, published a map of the area to be evacuated, which includes the neighborhoods of Shejaiya, Zeitoun, and Tuffah.
He said that the military would soon operate "with great force" there to "destroy terror infrastructure."
Civilians were called to head for shelters in western Gaza City.
Hamas-affiliated Gaza health authorities claimed Friday that a pre-dawn Israeli Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... in Khan Younis killed 10 members of the same family, seven of whom were children.
The IDF said it was looking into the reports.
WATER PIPELINE DAMAGED, MUNICIPALITY SAYS
Hundreds of thousands of Gaza City residents have lost their only source of clean water in the past week after supplies from Israel’s water utility were cut amid fighting, municipal authorities in the Hamas-governed territory said. Many now have to walk, sometimes for miles, to get a small water fill after fighting in Gaza City’s Shejaiya neighborhood damaged the pipeline operated by Israel’s state-owned Mekorot. Mekorot’s pipeline had been supplying 70% of Gaza City’s water since the destruction of most of its wells during the war, municipal authorities said.
It is not usual for one side in a war to provide the other with food and water, not to mention pause the attack in order to support vaccinating the children.
Israel’s military did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Question: Does the world expect Israel not to respond to missile attacks coming from Gaza?
The residents of Gaza can whine all they want, but they are a guilty party also.
Until they cease supporting Hamas and other Terrorist groups and stop providing hiding places in civilian areas, they are making their own kids targets.
[IsraelTimes] Military has almost completed dismantling terror group’s infrastructure south of the river, Lebanese Al Jadeed network reports, amid US pressure
The Lebanese army has for the first time entered Hezbollah bases north of the Litani River and has nearly completed dismantling Hezbollah infrastructure in the south of the country, the Lebanese Al Jadeed network reported on Thursday.
The report noted that the Iran-backed terror group had never before surrendered bases to the Lebanese army north of the river.
A November 2023 ceasefire agreement, reached after more than a year of skirmishes and several months of open war between Israel and the terror group, required Hezbollah to immediately vacate areas south of the Litani, which flows into the Mediterranean some 20 kilometers (12 miles) north of the Israeli border.
The agreement called on the Lebanese military to ultimately dismantle all military infrastructure and unauthorized arms on both sides of the Litani, but did not provide a timetable concerning areas to the river’s north.
According to the Al Jadeed report, the Lebanese government will reach an agreement with Hezbollah regarding a phased relinquishing of the weapons it possesses.
The United States has been pressing the Lebanese government to ensure Hezbollah’s full disarmament, with White House envoy Morgan Ortagus reportedly emphasizing an expectation that the Lebanese do more during her trip to Beirut last weekend.
On Thursday, Hezbollah politician Hassan Fadlallah said the Iran-aligned terror group was ready to enter talks with the Lebanese government on a national defense strategy, with a focus on ensuring the removal of Israeli troops from Leb ...home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade.... ’s territory.
A senior Hezbollah official had told Rooters on Wednesday that the terror group was prepared to engage in talks with Lebanon’s President Joseph Aoun about its weapons if Israel withdrew from southern Lebanon and halted its military strikes.
Under the November 27 Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire agreement, Israel is entitled to strike what it deems imminent threats and ceasefire violations by the terror group and has done so repeatedly.
[IsraelTimes] An Israeli infantry force on Friday crossed the border into the al-Wazzani parks in south Lebanon, the National News Agency said.
The Lebanese Army had overnight confronted an Israeli force that crossed into the outskirts of Alma al-Shaab, forcing it to retreat, after it carried out bulldozing works and cut some trees.
Israeli artillery shells meanwhile targeted the Abou Laban neighborhood in the southern town of Aita al-Shaab on Friday, as Israeli warplanes overflew the western and central sectors of south Lebanon.
