Good. Ram it down their throats until they learn their lesson.
[IsraelTimes] US Defense Department says the strikes are ‘killing Houthi fighters and leaders… and degrading their capabilities’; UK announces joint attack with US on the Iran-backed rebels

US forces have struck more than 1,000 targets in 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...
since Washington launched the latest round of its air campaign against 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. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to Americaâ„¢, 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...
rebels in mid-March, the Pentagon said Tuesday.

The Houthis began targeting shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden in late 2023 and the United States responded with strikes against them starting early the following year.

Since March 15, "USCENTCOM strikes have hit over 1,000 targets, killing Houthi fighters and leaders... and degrading their capabilities," Pentagon front man Sean Parnell said in a statement, referring to the military command responsible for the Middle East.

Britannia said on Wednesday it had joined the United States in carrying out strikes against Houthi targets.

"UK forces participated in a joint operation with US forces against a Houthi military target in Yemen," the Ministry of Defence said in a statement.

It said the Royal Air Force had struck buildings around 25 kilometers (15 miles) south of the capital Sanaa at night, which were being used by Houthi rebels to manufacture drones.

s against Houthis led by the United States since early 2024.

CENTCOM on Sunday had put the figure at more than 800 targets hit since mid-March, saying hundreds of Houthi fighters had been killed as a result.

Hours after that announcement, Houthi-controlled media said US strikes had hit a migrant detention center in the city of Saada, killing at least 68 people, while a United Nations
...where theory meets practice and practice loses...
spokesperson later said preliminary information indicated that those killed were migrants colonists.

A US defense official said the military was looking into reports of civilian casualties resulting from its strikes in Yemen.
