[IsraelTimes] The Saudi-led coalition early is launching Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s "against sources of threat in Sanaa and Hodeida" following attacks by 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...
i 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...

in the kingdom, the official Saudi news agency SPA tweets.

"The military operation will continue until its objectives are achieved," the coalition says in a statement quoted by SPA.

The strikes come a day after an attack by Yemeni rebels on an oil facility near Jeddah which set off a huge fire.

We know you, Secret Master. No worries.

#4  And before anyone says anything: I'm not a Russian troll. I've been here since the beginning after 9-11. I don't like the war in Yemen; which doesn't mean I support in Russians in Ukraine.

#3  ^The coalition is basically the Saudis and the UAE backed specifically by the USA. 400,000 people are thought to have died so far, mostly from hunger and preventable diseases like cholera. Roughly 11,000 of these are estimated to be children. Our support for the war began during the Obama administration and continues to this day, like a cancer on the American soul.

#2  The Saudis should take lessons from Putin on how to deal with pesky neighbors who won't surrender.
