Israel had waited until the end of US President Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... ’s visit to the region before launching its reprisal strikes on the Houthis.
Earlier this week, the IDF issued two evacuation warnings for the two ports in western Yemen, along with a third port, Ras Isa, the latter of which was not targeted on Friday. "These ports are used for the transfer of weapons and are another example of the cynical exploitation of civilian infrastructure by the Houthi terror regime to advance terror," the military said in a statement. The two ports have been targeted by the Israeli Air Force before, as was Yemen’s Sanaa International Airport on May 6.
The IDF said the strikes are intended to “deepen the damage to the Houthis’ terror capabilities,” and “neutralize” the ports, to prevent the group from bringing in more Iranian weapons and to harm the group economically. The military estimated it would take the Houthis about a month to restore the ports. Until then, it would be unable to dock ships longer than 80 meters there. “In light of the Houthi terror regime’s use of these ports for terror purposes, the IDF reiterates its warning to those present at the ports to distance themselves and evacuate the area,” the military said. Defense Minister Israel Katz, in a statement, threatened to eliminate Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi if the Iran-backed group continues to fire on Israel. “The IDF now struck and severely damaged the ports in Yemen that are under the control of the Houthi terror group. The airport in Sanaa also remains destroyed,” Katz said. “As we said, if the Houthis continue to fire missiles on Israel, they will suffer painful blows, and we will also strike the terror chief, just as we did to Deif and the Sinwars in Gaza, to Nasrallah in Beirut and to Haniyeh in Tehran,” he said, referring to the leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah that Israel has assassinated
Since March 18, when the IDF resumed its offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the Houthis have launched 34 ballistic missiles and at least 10 drones at Israel. Several of the missiles have fallen short.

US targets Houthi sites in Sana'a for third straight day of attacks |
2025-03-18 |
[Jpost] The Houthi movement later announced that it targeted the "USS Harry S. Truman aircraft" carrier in the Red Sea for the third time without providing proof. The US is currently conducting targeted strikes against the Houthis in Yemen's capital, Sana'a, Houthi-owned Al-Masirah reported on Monday night. The strikes have targeted the Al-Habashi Iron Factory, as well as additional areas south of the presidential compound, Al-Masirah added. On Tuesday, the terror organization claimed that it had attacked the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier as well as several American warships in the Red Sea. Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi claimed that this forced US warship to flee to the northern region of the Red Sea. The Houthis did not provide proof of the attacks from any time they claimed to strike. The Houthi's military spokesperson Yahya Saree said that they would not hesitate to continue to strike US assets in the region and that its naval blockade on Israel would continue. "If they continue their aggression, we will continue the escalation," al-Houthi added in a televised speech. MARCO RUBIO SPOKE ABOUT YEMEN AND IRAN US Secretary of State Marco Rubio reiterated President Donald Trump's recent stance that Iran should be held responsible "and face dire consequences" for Houthi attacks. "The Houthis don’t have the ability to do this without Iran helping them, okay?" Rubio said in an interview with Fox News Radio. "So, Iran owns this problem. I mean, they created this Frankenstein monster, and now they got to own it. And I think we should hold them responsible. And as the president has said, if these guys keep doing this, we owe Iran responsible for having created it." |

Iran's sustained clandestine support for the Houthis and the Yemeni group's ability to create a siege mentality around Israeli strikes will help keep the stalemate intact. Nevertheless, the intensifying Israel-Houthi conflict has the potential to metastasise beyond Yemen's borders and threaten Western commercial maritime assets. ISRAEL'S UPHILL STRUGGLE FOR A MILITARY TRIUMPH Although Israeli air defences have been largely effective in limiting civilian casualties from Houthi missile strikes, the attacks continue to be a thorn in Israel's side. The Eilat port is no longer a reliable transit hub and some Israeli vessels have been forced to circumnavigate Africa along circuitous routes. The strikes have caused foreign airlines to cancel flights to Israel and tourism to dry up. These hits to the Israeli economy are unlikely to let up as some Houthi missiles and drones can breach Israel's highly sophisticated defences. Why is Israel finding it so difficult to defuse the Houthi threat? A lack of preparedness for Houthi drone and missile strikes is one contributing factor. Even though Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi declared in March 2018 that ''we are prepared to send fighters in any Israeli war against 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.... or Paleostine'' and formed a robust alliance with Hezbollah, Israeli officials paid relatively little attention to the Houthi threat.

US launches multiple strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen | |
2025-01-01 | |
[NYPOST] The US military made multiple strikes against the Houthi rebels in Yemen, the latest escalation against the Iran-backed terror group plaguing the Red Sea. American Navy ships and aircraft targeted Houthi command posts and weapons depots Monday and Tuesday, destroying the facilities that have been attacking military and merchant vessels in the region, according to US Central Command. The strikes were focused on the capital city of Sana'a and coastal locations around the Houthi-controlled territory in Yemen, including ''advanced conventional weapon (ACW) production and storage facilities.'' ''These facilities were used in Houthi operations, such as attacks against U.S. Navy warships and merchant vessels in the southern Red Sea and Gulf of Aden,'' CENTCOM said in a statement. US Navy and Air Force aircraft also destroyed a Houthi coastal radar site and seven cruise missiles, the statement added. CENTCOM said the strikes were part of the US military's efforts to crack down on the Houthis' attacks in the region, which began last year in solidarity with Hamas following Israel's incursion in Gaza.

…On Dec. 30 and 31, U.S. Navy ships and aircraft targeted a Houthi command and control facility and advanced conventional weapon (ACW) production and storage facilities that included missiles and uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAV). These facilities were used in Houthi operations, such as attacks against U.S. Navy warships and merchant vessels in the southern Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. In addition, U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force aircraft destroyed a Houthi coastal radar site and seven cruise missiles and one-way attack UAVs over the Red Sea. There were no injuries or damage to U.S. personnel or equipment in either incident. The strikes are a part of CENTCOM's effort to degrade Iran-backed Houthi efforts to threaten regional partners and military and merchant vessels in the region.

Thursday in response to repeated ballistic missile and drone attacks on Israel which have ramped up in recent weeks, the military said. The strikes — a mission that some 25 jets took part in, including refueling, cargo and intelligence-gathering planes — followed days of increasingly bellicose threats from Israeli leaders vowing to decimate the Iran-backed terror group after near-daily attacks. Following Thursday’s strikes, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz promised to keep pounding the group and "hunt down" its leaders. "We are determined to cut off this terror arm of the Iranian axis of evil. We will persist in this until we complete the job," Netanyahu said in a pre-recorded statement. The Israel Defense Forces said that during the sortie, fighter jets struck Houthi targets along Yemen’s western coast and deeper within the country. The targets included "infrastructure used by the Houthi terror regime for its military activities" at Sanaa International Airport, and the Hezyaz power plant just outside the Houthi-controlled capital. Planes also hit infrastructure at the Hodeida, Salif and Ras Qantib ports
"These infrastructures were used by the Houthi terror regime to transfer Iranian weapons to the region and for the entry of senior Iranian officials," the IDF said. The Houthi-controlled Saba news agency said that six people were killed in the strikes — three at the airport and three in Hodeida — while 40 others were maimed in the attacks. Video published by Houthi-run Al Masirah TV showed extensive damage to the airport, including windows blown out in terminals and blood on the floor. The control tower appeared to have been reduced to a concrete shell. The strikes came as Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi gave a televised speech. Later on Thursday, the Houthis said they were ready to respond quickly to the attack and meet "escalation with escalation," Houthi-run Al Masirah TV reported. Houthi official Hezam al-Asad tweeted that Israel’s strikes "reflect the state of weakness and bankruptcy that afflicts this defeated entity." The Houthi leadership has stepped up attacks in recent weeks following the exit of fellow Iran-backed terror group Hezbollah from the battlefield. Following the strikes, several Israeli reports said air defenses were being put on high alert in anticipation of a potential Houthi retaliation within hours. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the World Health Organization’s director-general, said the bombardment occurred as he was about to board a flight in Sanaa, injuring a crew member. "The air traffic control tower, the departure lounge — just a few meters from where we were — and the runway were damaged," he said on X, adding that he and WHO colleagues were safe. "We will need to wait for the damage to the airport to be repaired before we can leave." "Oh, Lord, I'm stuck in Our mission to negotiate the release of @UN staff detainees and to assess the health and humanitarian situation in #Yemen concluded today. We continue to call for the detainees' immediate release. According to Channel 12 news, Jerusalem updated the United States ahead of time on the targets it was about to hit. "We saw precise action by the Israeli Air Force, hitting strategic Houthi targets in Yemen, at the airport and at the port," Katz said in a pre-recorded message from the IAF’s underground command center at the military headquarters in Tel Aviv. "As we said, whoever strikes Israel, we will strike them. We will also hunt down all the Houthi leaders, hit them as we have done elsewhere," he added.

'They Turn a blind eye.' Why Israel Isn't Hunting Houthi Leaders | ||
2024-10-08 | ||
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Leonid Tsukanov [REGNUM] In recent months, the Israeli army and intelligence services have launched a real hunt for the leaders of pro-Iranian groups that are part of the “Axis of Resistance.” ![]() Since the high-profile assassination of Hamas Politburo chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in August 2024, more than a hundred high-ranking resistance figures in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Palestine have been eliminated one after another. Among them was Lebanese Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah, whom the Israelis had been hunting for two decades. At the same time, the Yemeni Houthis (the Ansar Allah movement) remain almost completely outside the scope of the Israeli liquidators’ activity. Of course, the Israeli air force and coalition forces periodically strike the movement’s infrastructure – the port city of Hodeida and the capital city of Sana’a, occupied by the Houthis, have suffered from the raids. However, the frequency and scale of these operations are incomparable to the Israeli actions in the Lebanese and Syrian directions. It seems as if Israel is "forgetting" about the Yemeni rebels, although they are the ones who are causing the greatest damage to its economy with their naval blockade. Tel Aviv has a slightly different opinion on this matter.
The restraint towards Ansar Allah is largely due to Yemen's territorial remoteness - Israel does not have a common land border with this country, which significantly reduces the operational capabilities of the army (IDF). Despite the fact that Israel has already clearly demonstrated its readiness to “reach out” to Yemeni territories (Operation Long Arm, July 2024), every such attack is impossible without the use of the airspace and airfields of Arab allies - primarily the monarchies of the Persian Gulf. The prospect of becoming a “bouncing ground” for Israeli operations does not inspire enthusiasm among the Arabs, especially considering that the main burden of repelling Ansar Allah’s retaliatory strike will fall on them. Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar, which experienced the consequences of the conflict with the Houthis on their oil and gas infrastructure a couple of years ago, are now looking for any excuse to avoid participating in such adventures. Moreover, Yemen’s neighbors – even those relatively loyal to Tel Aviv – are reluctant to publicly support “Israeli aggression,” since such an alliance is guaranteed to undermine their position in the Arab world and undermine all efforts to reduce tensions between Arab countries and Iran. Trading three years of diplomatic work for the destruction of several oil terminals in Yemen does not seem like an equal trade-off. In many ways, Israel's zeal is also restrained by the United States, for which maintaining the status quo in Yemen is important for the implementation of a larger geopolitical combination. Washington hopes to use the "inter-Yemeni settlement," where the Houthi leaders act as a fairly "handshakeable" force, to stabilize the situation on the Arabian Peninsula as a whole. This is one of the unspoken conditions for Saudi Arabia's return to negotiations on normalizing relations with Israel, and the White House is making efforts to fulfill its promise. At the same time, the US, together with Great Britain, continues to carry out missile and bomb strikes on the Houthi infrastructure – however, they are aimed more at “demonstrating the involvement” of Tel Aviv’s Western allies in the conflict than at preparing for more serious operations.
At the same time, official Tel Aviv clearly does not want to conduct an “operation for the sake of an operation”: any attack of this kind against the Houthi leadership will be perceived as a threat to the movement as a whole and will only increase the frequency of Ansar Allah’s strikes on Israeli targets. Especially since after the death of the movement’s founder, Hussein al-Houthi, in 2004, the image of al-Houthi Jr. became practically inseparable from the image of Ansar Allah. NO STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS Although Tel Aviv is so far keeping a close eye on the Houthi actions, this does not mean that it has completely abandoned the idea of revenge for the economic and image damage. However, preparation for the attack will require much more time - especially since a significant part of the resources is diverted to preparations for an expanded operation against Hezbollah, which is a more significant priority for the government of Benjamin Netanyahu. The Israeli strategy will be largely influenced by the results of the US presidential elections. A victory for the Democrats does not promise major changes in the tactics of Israeli forces against the pro-Iranian "Axis of Resistance". Tel Aviv will continue "pin strikes" aimed at disuniting Iranian proxy groups. At the same time, the triumph of the Republicans in the US will open up opportunities for lobbying for more daring operations: Tel Aviv will be able to use Washington’s authority to “open” the airspace of the Arabian monarchies for its military aviation and thereby increase pressure on Yemen’s infrastructure. In both cases, the main target will still be the oil terminals. By destabilizing the energy sector, Israel hopes to stir up the population in the Houthi-controlled territories and provoke an uprising in the rear. Thus, making it easier for itself to fight Ansar Allah. However, this does not go beyond the current format of the struggle. In order to move on to a targeted “hunt” for the Houthi leaders, Tel Aviv needs a more compelling reason, since the blockade of the Red Sea and indirect support for the interests of Palestine do not pose an existential threat to the country (unlike the incessant strikes of Hezbollah on the northern regions of Israel), no matter how much the Israeli “hawks” try to prove it. Such a reason could be, for example, the full-fledged joining of Ansar Allah in Operation True Promise 3, which official Tehran announced recently in response to Israeli threats of a “retaliatory strike.” In this sense, Israel does not limit itself to any “statute of limitations” and is ready to fight pro-Iranian forces in stages. | ||

Houthis Claim Strike on Ben Gurion Airport During Netanyahu's Return, Israelis say they shot it out of the sky before it crossed their border | |
2024-09-29 | |
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] On September 28, the Yemeni Ansar Allah (Houthis) movement announced that it had struck Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv during the return of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from the United States. The airport was attacked by missiles, the movement's military spokesman Yahya Saria told Al Masirah TV. "The missile forces carried out an operation to hit Jaffa Airport, called Ben Gurion in Israel, during the arrival of the criminal Benjamin Netanyahu," Saria said. Netanyahu attended the UN General Assembly. Earlier, the media released footage of his telephone conversation with the Israeli army command before the operation that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. More from regnum.ru Israel's military says it intercepted a rocket fired from Yemen Israeli air defense systems intercepted a missile launched from Yemen; the interception occurred outside the country's territory, the Israeli army (IDF) press service reported on September 28. Earlier, sirens sounded in the central part of Israel (in the Tel Aviv area). "After sirens were sounded in central Israel, a rocket launched from Yemen was intercepted by an air defense system outside of Israeli territory," the statement said.

KABOOM!... in Beirut on Friday. The leader of the Houthis said the missile was aimed and timed to coincide with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s landing in Israel after returning from New York. In a televised speech, Abdul Malik al-Houthi also vowed that the death of Nasrallah "will not be in vain." The Houthis also took responsibility for an attack Friday morning, saying they had launched a ballistic missile at a military target in Tel Aviv and a drone at a "vital target" in Ashkelon. The missile was intercepted. The IDF said it was unaware of any drone reaching Israel. Friday’s missile caused no direct injuries, though a 17-year-old girl was moderately hurt when a car hastily pulling over during the siren accidentally hit her. The Houthis hinted on Friday that the morning’s missile was retaliation for an Israeli airstrike Thursday that killed senior Hezbollah leader Mohammed Srur. The Yemeni rebels have launched several attacks targeting Tel Aviv, including a surface-to-surface missile earlier this month. Israel has yet to retaliate for any of those attacks. In July, the military conducted a major strike on Yemen’s Hodeidah port after a drone hit Tel Aviv, killing a man in his apartment. | |
