Adding to the jihadist threat to Israel from Yemen is that fact that Iran is active there via the Houthi rebels. Despite that, however, Joe Biden took that Iranian proxy group off the “terrorist” list.
The Biden administration has emboldened Iran against Israel, and more broadly the West, via his pursuit of a nuclear deal, as well as by removing the designation of the Houthis as terrorists.
“Yemeni Political Analyst Salim Al-Muntaser: Tel Aviv Will Be Targeted By Missiles From Yemen; Peace Between Iran And The West Only After ‘Zionist Entity’ Is Removed”, MEMRI, February 20, 2021:
Yemeni political analyst Salim Al-Muntaser said that peace between Iran and the Western powers will only come after the “Zionist entity” is revmoed, which he said will happen soon. Al-Muntaser made these remarks in an interview with Al-Quds Al-Youm TV (Islamic Jihad – Gaza) that aired on February 24, 2021. He said that once this happens, Arab and Islamic countries will enjoy peace and security, because the Zionist entity is behind all the tragedies, problems, and strife in the Arab and Islamic lands and all over the world. Al-Muntaser said that the American Patriot missiles failed to protect Saudi Arabia against the Houthi attacks against it, and this means that there is no longer any significance to an American presence in the region, and soon there will be a complete American withdrawal from the region. He added that after this happens, he expects that missiles will be launched from Yemen to the “so-called ‘Tel Aviv’” and the “Zionist entity would be destroyed.” Al-Muntaser said that it is the interest of “the Americans and Zionists” to negotiate Iran’s nuclear program, because they are terrified of the thought of Iran producing nuclear weapons and using them to “exterminate the Zionist entity.”
Salim Al-Muntaser: “Ansar Allah’s strikes have worn Saudi Arabia down, and have turned their American weapons into scrap metal. The advanced American Patriot missiles cannot intercept drones and ballistic missiles that are considered primitive. Therefore, there is no longer any significance to American presence in the Middle East. Soon we will witness a complete American withdrawal [from the region]. After that, there is no doubt that the Zionist entity will not be strong enough to face the resistance axis. I will not be surprised, and I expect that missiles will be launched from Saada and Sanaa in Yemen towards the so-called ‘Tel-Aviv’ and the Zionist entity will be destroyed.

“The Iranian issue will not be resolved and the siege on Iran will not be lifted, because the Islamic Republic has undertaken an endeavor to root out the Zionist entity from the region. If the U.S. keeps protecting the Zionists, the problem will not be resolved.
[…]
“The Islamic Republic does not need the nuclear agreement. It does not need to sit at the negotiating table. It is the Americans and the Zionists who needs this. They are terrified by the thought that the Islamic Republic would produce nuclear weapons and exterminate the Zionist entity.
[…]
“The U.S. will never change its position towards the Islamic Republic. There is only one scenario in which there will be a permanent and comprehensive peace between Western powers and the Islamic Republic – after the removal of the Zionist entity….

Absolutely hilarious. Which “resistance axis” might this be? With Sunnis and Shia busy trying to impose the “true Islam” on the other by violent means, Netanyahu will be smiling at this little speech.
Like many Lefties in the West, many muslims appear to inhabit their own self-created little world- a kind of “Islamic bubble” in their case- completely disconnected from reality.

Although the IDF uses extreme measures to hit military targets with the least collateral damage that would not be the case in open combat for their lives and the state of Israel. I read once in an open source that Israel could fight a conventional high intensity war for 6 months before they would need resupply. As in the past it wouldnt take nearly that long to end the war. It would take exactly five 2000lb bombs to bring Iran to its Knee’s if it came to that. More few more for military targets. Yemen would lose badly quickly when the highly trained Israeli pilots start taking out preplanned targets

Israel has many “surprises” in its toybox, with eyes and ears all over, brilliant intelligence information and will not be a pushover. But… in the meantime, we can thank stupid, sleazy, creepy Bidet, for removing Shia Houthi off the terrorist list. It’s only a list, but has emboldened them to threaten both USA and Israel.

Indeed. Muslims truly live in a bubble divorced from reason and scholarship and they will kill you if you contradict their fantasy world. Western Leftards just HUMOR the Muslims and massage their supremacism.
Westman says
Such a mouthful from a suspected wife beater. It must be like the adage that, “To a carpenter the world can be explained in terms of a nail.” He holds delusions that Israelis and Americans can be terrified, like the wife, with threats and promises of beatings. It actually shows the desperation of a cornered regime and the reality that Islam is no longer able to spread by the sword – the strangled cry of the last Social Luddites.
“Yemeni Political Analyst” = Iranian paid shill.

Good analysis.
Infidel says
Do those missiles have that range? As it is, once they set off, both Israel and the Saudis will have enough time to detect and intercept them somewhere along either the Red Sea or the west Saudi coast
Also, shouldn’t the Houthis take full control of all Yemen before they go international?

………….
More threats from pious Muslims to destroy civilized Israel.
God, I hate Islam.

If Iran attacks Israel they will be made into an ashtray. The Arabs couldnt beat Israel before they cant beat them now.
