| [HodhodYemen ...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... news] In support of the oppressed Paleostinian people and their resistance, and in response to the ongoing genocidal war against the people in Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... , the UAV force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a military operation targeting an Israeli military target in the occupied area of Jaffa (Tel Aviv) using a "Yaffa" drone, according to a statement announced by the military front man General Yahya Sare’e. "In response to the ongoing US aggression against our country and the crimes against our people, our armed forces continue to target enemy warships in the Red Sea carrying out the aggression against our country," Sare’e’s statement added. The naval forces and the air force carried out a joint military operation, targeting two US destroyers with several cruise missiles and drones. "The crimes committed against our people and the targeting of civilian objects in several governorates confirm the enemy’s failure to achieve its goals," he maintained.
[IsraelTimes] A drone launched at Israel “from the east” was intercepted by the Israeli Air Force Monday evening, the military said. According to the IDF, the drone was shot down before crossing into Israel, and therefore no sirens sounded, “according to protocol.” The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen quickly took responsibility for the attack, saying they launched a drone at Israel, claiming to have had their sights on a “military target” in the Tel Aviv area The Houthis also claimed to have targeted two US destroyers in the Red Sea with several missiles and drones. During US President Donald Trump’s Oval Office meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu Monday, Trump said the United States military campaign against the Houthis in Yemen has been “very successful militarily.” “We’ve really damaged them,” he said, adding that “it’s every night, night after night, and we’ve gotten many of their leaders and their experts.” “It’s been a bad three weeks for the Houthis,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth added, “and it’s about to get worse.” He said the US has destroyed underground facilities, weapons manufacturing sites, bunkers, troops, and air defense assets. “We are not going to relent,” said Hegseth, “and it’s only going to be more unrelenting until the Houthis declare they will stop shooting at our ships.” He added that the US has been “very clear” to the Iranians that they must stop providing support for the Houthis. Since March 18, when the IDF resumed its offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the Houthis in Yemen have launched at least 10 ballistic missiles at Israel, resuming a campaign of bombardment they began in support of Gaza. The missiles have all been intercepted by the air defenses, but they set off sirens that send millions of Israelis scrambling to shelters at all hours of the day and night. On Friday night, the IDF intercepted a drone that the Houthis later said was aimed at the Tel Aviv region. | |

| #1 "Parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus" translates to "Mountains will be in labor, and a ridiculous mouse will be born." This phrase comes from Horace's Satires (Book 1, Satire 8). IIRC, a phrase used by Winston Churchill to ridicule the actual introduction of the V-1 'Vengeance Weapon' after weeks of Nazi hyperbole. |
