Yemeni Armed Forces announce two new operations against Israeli targets — Hodhod Yemen News Agency
2025-04-24
Yes, but did the missiles come down close enough to Israel to get their attention? If yes, did Israel successfully shoot them down — as usual — or did Allah for once choose to let the missiles do damage in Israel?
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] The 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 Armed Forces announced on Wednesday two military operations against vital Israeli targets in the occupied Paleostinian territories.

The Yemeni Armed Forces issued the following statement:

''In support of the oppressed Paleostinian people and their valiant resistance, and in rejection of the genocidal crimes being perpetrated by the ''Israeli'' enemy—with direct American backing—against our brothers 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 oppression and disproportionate response...
The missile force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a precise and exceptional military operation targeting a vital site belonging to the Zionist enemy in the occupied city of Haifa using a hypersonic ballistic missile.

By the grace of God, the missile successfully reached its target. Enemy air defense systems failed to intercept it, triggering widespread panic among the Zionist settlers. As a result, over two million settlers rushed into shelters.

Additionally, the drone force of the Yemeni Armed Forces conducted another military operation, targeting a strategic site in the occupied city of Yafa [''Jaffa''] using a Yafa-model drone.

The people of faith and wisdom are waging this battle with complete reliance on God Almighty—executing His commands, following His guidance, and placing their trust in Him. They will not retreat or abandon their sacred, moral, and humanitarian responsibilities. With God's help, they will continue their jihad in support of the oppressed Paleostinian people until the aggression on Gaza ceases and the siege is lifted.''
Update from the Times of Israel at 9:00 p.m. ET:
A ballistic missile fired at Israel by the Iran-backed Houthi group in Yemen set off sirens early Wednesday morning in the north of the country for the first time, sending over a million people rushing for the safety of bomb shelters.

The Israel Defense Forces said the missile was successfully intercepted by air defenses.

Sirens sounded as a precaution against falling missile and interceptor debris, which has in the past caused injuries and even death.

Sirens went off at 4 a.m. in Haifa and the surrounding area, as well as the Western Galilee region. Explosions from the interceptions were heard in Haifa and the Sharon region.

The Houthis later claimed to have fired the missile at a “vital Zionist enemy target” in Haifa. They also claimed to have launched a drone at a target in the Tel Aviv area, although there were no reports of drones reaching Israel from Yemen overnight.

The Magen David Adom ambulance service reported no direct injuries from the missile attack or impacts from debris, but said paramedics treated a number of people who were injured while rushing for shelter.

#3   "The Yemeni Armed Forces"

That’s the fancy name for the armed wing of the Houthis up in the Sana’a, where they rule over the former North Yemen.

The Saudi-supported Southern Transitional Council is based in Aden, comprised of the five governorates of the former South Yemen — they aren’t bothering anyone.

Sounds official - "government"-related or another ad-hoc group of losers?
