A group of Houthi rebels in Yemen were looking, on Saturday, at a crater where their power station used to be. The gas and oil storage went up in flames with it. Sneaking a drone past Israeli defenses to kill one Israeli and wound several others in Tel Aviv, like they did on Friday, calls for payback.
Hot time for Houthi rebels
Israeli fighter jets bombed a few annoyingly controversial places in Yemen on July 20. Sites linked to the Iran-backed Houthi militia. The military targets were neutralized “in retaliation for a deadly drone attack in Tel Aviv a day earlier.”
Four U.S. officials and two regional officials updated the press about it. Israel has been leaving Yemen alone lately, to concentrate on Gaza. “It was the first time Israel has publicly attacked the group in months of escalating tensions.”
Right beside Yemen’s Red Sea port of Hodeidah there used to be gas and oil depots serving a power station. The lights will be out for a long while across the region.

The Houthi took charge of that port a long time ago. It happens to be the site of oil export facilities. More importantly, “it is also a vital conduit for civilian goods and humanitarian aid to impoverished Yemen.”
They won’t be getting any Yemen aid from Joe Biden because they admitted provoking the dispute.
On Friday, Houthi officials “claimed responsibility for firing a long-range drone that hit the coastal city of Tel Aviv, killing one Israeli and wounding several others.” They’re trained, armed and paid by Iran. This drone attack isn’t anything new.

Hundreds of missiles
The Houthi consider themselves to be a Yemeni militia but they’re “supported by Iran.” They do the proxy fighting so the Ayatollah can keep his hands politically clean.
The guerrillas “have lobbed hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel in what they call a campaign of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.” In other words, they want to do their part to help wipe Jews from the face of the earth.
For months, they’ve been harassing “numerous commercial ships passing through the Red Sea.” Meanwhile “the United States and Britain, alongside their allies, have struck hundreds of Houthi targets in Yemen since November.”

We’re also sharing intelligence with Israel. According to the Pentagon sources, “Israel acted alone on Saturday, with no American military involvement.”
Houthi spokesman Nasruddin Amer went on social media to announce that Israel’s air strike won’t change their minds. “Yemen’s operations in support of Gaza will not stop,” Amer decreed. “The response to this aggression is inevitable.”
There again, it was the Arabs who started it. Hamas invaded Israel and the IDF responded back by leveling the entire Gaza strip to rubble. Yemen and the Houthi are next.
