[SkyNewsAustralia] Israeli strikes hit Yemen's capital on Sunday in retaliation for Houthi missiles fired towards Israel, with a Houthi health official saying the attack killed six people and wounded 86.The strikes on the city of Sanaa are the latest in over a year of direct attacks and counterstrikes between Israel and Houthi militants in Yemen, as part of a spillover from the war in Gaza. The Israeli military said the targets included a military compound housing the presidential palace, two power plants and a fuel storage site. -------- also Al Jazeera reports more of their jihad journalists killed

It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... found that, for the first time, the 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.

Part of the missile hit a home in central Israel, causing damage. The woman living there had taken refuge in her reinforced shelter and was unharmed. According to the military, the Yemeni presidential palace in Sanaa is "located within a military site from which the military operations of the Houthi terrorist regime forces are conducted." Some local media reported that the palace had been abandoned for years. The two power plants that were targeted "served as a significant electricity supply facility for military activities," the IDF said. The IDF said that the Houthis’ use of the plants "constitutes further proof of how the Houthi regime uses civilian infrastructure for military purposes." The strikes involved around a dozen IAF aircraft, including fighter jets and refuelers. Multiple refueling operations were carried out during the lengthy flight to and from Yemen. Some 35 munitions were dropped on the four targets, according to the IDF. Sunday’s strike marked the 15th time that Israel has attacked the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen, located some 1,800 kilometers (1,100 miles) away. The Houthis last attacked Israel on Friday night with a ballistic missile that was not intercepted. According to assessments in the IAF, the missile’s warhead broke up in the air during its descent, deploying several sub-munitions. One munition struck the yard of a home in the central town of Ginaton, causing slight damage. The munitions do not have their own propulsion or guidance and simply fall to the ground, where they are designed to explode on impact. 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 spontaneouslytaking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militiasto extend the regime's influence. The word Iranis a cognate form of Aryan.The abbreviation IRGCis the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA).The term Supreme Guideis a the modern version form of either Duceor Führeror maybe both. They hate launched ballistic missiles with cluster bomb warheads at Israel at least twice during the 12-day war in June — those that the IAF failed to intercept. The Houthis in Yemen are supplied by Iran. In total, 112 countries have signed a 2008 convention banning the production, storage, sale, and use of cluster munitions. Iran and Israel are not among them. Posted by: Lord Garth 2025-08-25 |
