Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Israel strikes Yemen in retaliation for Houthi drone attack on Tel Aviv last Thursday

It’s surprising and refreshing to see that the Biden regime didn’t stop them.

“Israel strikes Yemen in response to Houthi drone attack on Tel Aviv,” by Barak Ravid, Axios, July 20, 2024:

Israeli fighter jets conducted an air strike in Yemen on Saturday in retaliation for the Houthi drone attack on Tel Aviv last Thursday, U.S. and Israeli officials said.

Why it matters: This is the first time that Israel has directly attacked Yemen, a country more than 1,000 miles away.

The Houthis, an Islamist militant group backed by Iran, have harassed and attacked commercial ships in the Red Sea for months in response to Israel’s war in Gaza.
Houthi officials said the Israeli strike hit oil facilities in the port of Hodeidah, which is controlled by the rebel group.
Behind the scenes: Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant spoke to U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Friday and told him Israel was likely to respond to the Houthi attack, which killed one Israeli and wounded several others, a U.S. official said….

  1. Assuredly some help from the Saudis and / or Egyptians…even if their eyes were closed to the IAF flying over their airspace.

  2. It amazes me that the Houthis haven’t been wiped out. Sure, you probably can’t kill them all, but surely there is enough “intelligence” to identify their leaders, where most of their “soldiers” live, and their basic infrastructure. That fact that they keep doing what they are doing tells me that some powerful people are behind the scenes helping them.

    • Can’t wait untill the Houthi’s try that stuff again. At least Israel gives them what they deserve, not like Lloyd “Prostate” Austin.

      • It’s funny. The Saudis haven’t destroyed Yemen’s oil depot after all these years, then 1 drone to Tel Aviv, and Yemen’s oil infrastructure is wiped out. Probably took out power and any desalination at the port as well. I don’t think the Houthis were counting on that. Sure kill a hundred Houthis, they don’t care. But now, no oil, no gas, and no water desal (if they even had it). They just realized that Israel does not play the ‘just a tap’ game. You have to destroy critical infrastructure to jar them into reality.

      • The oil depot was fine, but the Israelis should have destroyed their entire drone fleet, wherever they are. Destroy their capacity to wage war

        It’ll be hard for the Houthis to get replacements from Iran, given that Russia is buying up Iran’s entire production

  3. Those malice-filled vicious and deadly savage jihadists of the Houthis are nothing but stooges of that “mullah regime” of Iran. Even though they tools of those Muslim tyrants in power of Iran, they’re nevertheless very dangerous. Therefore, the only fitting way that they should be dealt with is by a very strong power of military might. For that is the only language that the Houthis jihadists are able to understand.

    For Mr. Jefferson had, rightly, declared, “With every barbarous people…force is law.”

  4. The condemnation is sure to come, even if biden has to “anyway, look” and whisper it.

  6. Thank you I S R A E L

    You fight for the whole western world.

    I love you Israel.

  7. Looks pretty hot there.

    Using the immortal words of Johnny Cash…

    I fell in to a burning ring of fire
    I went down, down, down
    And the flames went higher
    And it burns, burns, burns
    The ring of fire, the ring of fire

    • When I was in Vietnam, we measured the effectiveness of ordinance delivery by the “secondaries”. This one was a TEN!

  8. Yeah, I’m surprised that the State Department said or did nothing. Maybe they’re too scared for their jobs, given the turmoil in the Democrat Party

    • One more thing: I noticed Brietbart observe that this distance of 1000 miles is similar to the distance b/w Iran and Israel. Well, there is one exception: the Iranians have an Air Force, whereas the Houthis don’t

    • Has the current state department in the last 4 years done anything right? MIA Austin ,demented Joe, the current border crisis on Americas borders, the Afghanistan debacle ,the Iran is really alright policy not an enemy to the western world not funding terrorism world wide, our current state department policy of endless wars , no punishment for terrorism in important shipping lanes.

  9. America’s Southern border crisis is a loosely planned and clumsily orchestrated import of Democrat voters. All Leftist/Globalists do this, here in Australia Prime Minister Albanese took in 500,000 quietly and has put massive pressure on housing demand and upward prices. Also the Evil and incompetent leaders (most) use chaotic migration to convey fake compassion, they also see it as a tool to punish legal citizens for the embarrassment, loss of face, exposing of they’re incompetence and perversion, plus the exposed perversion of spouses, children etc.

    • Joseph,

      If migrants voted Republican, the border would be TOTALLY shut down.

      • You’re right: that’s what they’ve done w/ Cubans. What’s surprised me is how the only Venezuelans they’ve allowed in are the criminals from their jails, who would not become GOP voters
