[Regnum] The Houthis from the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement attacked Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv using a hypersonic ballistic missile. This statement was made on July 6 by Houthi spokesman Yahya Saria.
"The Rocket Forces (...) carried out a military operation in which they struck the airport (...) using a Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile, " Saria said in an interview with Al Masirah TV.
| According to the IDF, the thing was headed for the Judean desert at 3:00 Sunday morning when the IDF shot it down. But at least this time the Houthis had it aimed at the right country. They don’t always… |
He said the operation was successful
| …it was successful for the IDF, yes. Not for the Houthis. Sorry. |
and the airport's operations were temporarily suspended.
| Also a no. Maybe next time… |
The Israeli army, in turn, earlier reported the interception of a missile launched from Yemeni territory. Air raid sirens were sounded in several areas of the country.
Israel carries out strikes on Houthi-controlled power station, ports across Yemen
[IsraelTimes] IDF confirms that targets include ‘Galaxy Leader’ ship which was hijacked by Houthis in November 2023; Katz threatens that Iran-backed group will ‘continue to pay a heavy price’
Israel carried out extensive strikes on Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth . Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
targets in Yemen
...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...
overnight between Sunday and Monday, shortly after it issued evacuation orders for several areas of the country.
The IDF confirmed early Monday morning that its Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM! ...
s had targeted multiple Houthi terror targets in Yemen, including the ports of Hodeidah, Ras Isa and Salif, and the Ras Khatib power station.
The airstrikes also hit the "Galaxy Leader" vessel, which was hijacked by the Houthis in November 2023 and used for maritime surveillance and operational planning, the IDF said. The Houthis took the ship and its crew of 25 people — who hailed from from the Philippines, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine and Mexico — captive in November 2023, only freeing them in January 2025 after more than a year of holding them hostage. The IDF said that the Houthis "installed a radar system on the ship, and are using it to track vessels in international maritime space, in order to promote the Houthi terrorist regime’s activities."
According to the military, all the targets hit in the overnight strikes were used by the Iran-backed Houthi regime to transfer weapons and conduct terror activity against Israel and global shipping.
The IDF said the strikes come in response to repeated Houthi missile and drone attacks on Israeli territory and highlight the group’s ongoing use of civilian infrastructure for military purposes.
In a statement early Monday morning, Defense Minister Israel Katz repeated the threat he made following that missile attack, that "Yemen will be treated like Tehran," referencing the intensive Israeli strikes across Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
during the recent 12-day conflict.
"Anyone who tries to harm Israel will be harmed, anyone who raises a hands against Israel will have it cut off," Katz added, saying that the IDF was "forcefully" striking a number of terror targets in Yemen. "The Houthis will continue to pay a heavy price for their actions."
The strikes came about half an hour after the IDF’s Arabic-language front man issued an "urgent" evacuation warning for the three Houthi-controlled ports and the power plant in Yemen.
The Houthi military spokesperson claimed following the attacks that Houthis’ air defenses confronted the Israeli attack "by using a large number of domestically produced surface-to-air missiles."
| I believe them. But shooting off and hitting are two very different skills, and Allah clearly doesn’t want the Houthis to hit anything Israeli. |
Residents told Rooters that the Israeli strikes on the Red Sea port city of Hodeidah put the main power station out of service, leaving the city in darkness. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
Houthi-run al-Masirah TV reported that Israel launched a series of strikes on Hodeidah. The campaign came hours after a ship was attacked off the Red Sea port city of Hodeidah and the ship’s crew abandoned it as it took on water. No one immediately grabbed credit for the attack, but security firm Ambrey said the vessel fits the typical profile of a Houthi target.
The IDF says its strikes overnight on Houthi targets in Yemen were carried out by around 20 fighter jets, who dropped more than 50 munitions in the attack.
Practicing for the next thunder run over Iran?
