US airstrikes on Yemen fuel anti-American sentiment, bolster Houthis’ resolve
YnetNews ^ | March 17 | Giorgia Valente

The United States intensified its military involvement in Yemen by launching over the weekend a series of airstrikes targeting the Iran-aligned Houthis. While the escalation is intended to curtail the Houthis’ ability to disrupt critical international shipping routes in the Red Sea, it has resulted in substantial civilian casualties and raised regional tensions, prompting varied reactions from both global and local analysts.

According to the Houthi-run Health Ministry, at least 53 people — including women and children — have so far been killed, and nearly 100 others injured in the U.S. strikes. U.S. officials report that the attacks hit multiple Houthi strongholds, including in the capital Sanaa and the strategic port of Hodeidah. These locations serve as military hubs while also being densely populated urban centers.

“The notion of ‘targeted attacks’ is, frankly, ridiculous. The U.S.-UK coalition claims to be striking military sites, but every time they do, civilians die. This time, the casualties are higher — over 50 dead. In previous attacks, the numbers were much lower — four or five at most. When we examine the images, it’s clear who is being hit and, often, these sites were identified based on outdated geolocations,” Laura Battaglia, Italian journalist and Yemeni affairs expert, said.

They tried this line with the “Palestinians” - the more you attack us, the greater our resolve will become! Hamas is now effectively gutted, but I’m sure their few, battered remaining troops are just chock full of resolve. The Houthis would do well to take note.

God help us if Trump decides to attack Iran. We have nothing to stop Iranian hypersonic missiles. What happened to Nevatim could very easily happen to Tel Aviv or an American carrier group in range. Trump can undercut the Houthis and Iran by linking those issues up in his peace talks with Putin.

Iran’s missiles successfully hit Israel’s Nevatim Air Base in the Negev.

Carpet bombing works, if the intention is to break the enemy’s will.

Yemen delenda est. Use some Roman statecraft here.

Not one building block left upon another. Stone Age returns with a vengeance.

You realize you and me will be hugely outnumbered on this?

Maybe Alberta’s will post but that’s it.

Freepers are on board! This isn’t America First by the way

At the moment Trump is full of contradictions which is a shame.

I take everything with a grain of salt but those are the reports. Are they being disputed by the US? The 50 women and children? This is Obama bombing weddings again. Trump is better than that at least I thought so

Put John Kerry, Theresa Heinz, Valerie Jarrett, Barack Obama, and Ilhan Ohmar, onto freighter ships doing laps around the Red Sea. Give them what they created.

“ The Houthis would do well to take note.”

All we can do is spend ordinance on them. No one is going on the ground there. It’s not Gaza and the Israelis.

Hopefully Houthis will surrender soon so we can stop wasting money on blowing them up.
