After the decimation of Hamas and destruction of Hizballah, the Houthis at this point appear to be the Iran proxy that is in the best shape.
“Houthis boast they fired missile, drone at Tel Aviv and Ashkelon, vow to launch more,” by Emanuel Fabian, Times of Israel, September 27, 2024:
The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen claimed responsibility Friday for an overnight attack that set off sirens across central Israel, saying it had launched a ballistic missile at a military target in Tel Aviv as well as a drone at a “vital target” in the southern coastal city of Ashkelon.
While Israel had earlier accused the Houthis of the missile attack, which was intercepted outside Israeli borders, the IDF said it was unaware of any drone reaching Israel overnight.
“The Yemeni Armed Forces will carry out more military operations against the Israeli enemy in triumph for the blood of our people in Palestine and Lebanon, and will not stop supportive military operations during the coming days until the Israeli aggression on Gaza and Lebanon stops,” Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree vowed in a statement.
A Houthi official hinted that the attack was in retaliation for an Israeli airstrike Thursday that killed senior Hezbollah commander Mohammed Srur, head of Hezbollah’s aerial forces, whose death was confirmed by the Lebanese terror group shortly before the sirens sounded in Israel….
Later on Friday, the Houthis said they targeted three US destroyers in the Red Sea with 23 ballistic and winged missiles and a drone….

Houthis – sometimes mispronounced as Hooters – are no match for Israel. Israel should carpet bomb their military facilities for a day or so, and offer them a peace deal if the leadership gets on a plane and flies to Jerusalem to negotiate. Any refusal should invite more bombing until the Hooters understand who is boss!

hamas attacks….Israel fights back. hamas now only a guerilla group.
hezbollah attacks….Israel fights back. hezbollah greatly crippled with so many now dead and others injured. they may have to call in unit 910 to take over the battle
houthis attack…Israel fights back….Just a matter of time. Their commander in iran, the head ghoul who has called on molzums everywhere to attack Israel, in hiding because he is afraid that like the very late King Eglon, he can be found even in his inner chambers.

Hamas, Hezb’allah, *and* the Houthis are all attacking Israeli civilians–yet is it, somehiow, Israel that needs to watch its response…

“IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi confirmed on Sunday the IDF’s attacks on the Houthis in Hodeidah, Yemen, adding that the IDF’s reach extends even further.
“We struck the Houthis in Yemen an hour ago. We know how to reach very far, we know how to reach even farther, and we know how to strike there with precision,””

The Houthis remind me of that chant on the old “Laugh In” show: “Sock it to me. Sock it to me…”

Being some distance from Israel, they seem to be in the best strategic distance from Israel, unlike Hamas & Hizbullah which were too close for comfort. Israel should bomb them using the same rules of engagement that the Saudis used back in the day when they were at war w/ the Houthis
James Lincoln says
A message to the low IQ Houthis:
Firing missiles inside of Israel is your death sentence.
