The fire seen across the Middle East: Israeli officials, terror orgs. respond to strike in Yemen

Jerusalem Post ^ | July 20, 2024 | MAYA GUR ARIEH

[bert]

In a truly non proportional and devastating attack on the Houthi Arab riff raff, the IDF told Iran to stop that shit.

The un impeded by Russian air defense systems assault by as many as 12 IDF fighter air craft, destroyed the Houthi fuel terminal at Hodeidah. A tremendous fire said to be half a kilometer in length and many, many meters high was visible for miles. There were said to be multiple targets but they were mot defined in the article.

The Houthi loss will not be easily or quickly remedied. It must be remembered that the Houthi are riff raff, the very bottom of the diverse Arab world. By destroying their energy sources, the IDF has pushed the riff raff back into their former position.

Their Iranian masters have proven to be incapable of protection. Their primary recourse is to be reduced to whining.

It must be remembered that the Houthi are riff raff, the very bottom of the diverse Arab world.

And the Saudis, the most superior Arabs, haven't been able to control the Houthis in any way for ten years.

[bert]

The Saudis have used superior restraint.

[canuck_conservative]

unimpeded by Russian air defense systems

not really a surprise

Oh, sure!

Just like Lloyd Austin's "coalition of the willing" and the mighty US Navy that was sent there months ago to stop the carnage (but didn't), this little exercise will finally stop them rag-tag Houthies once and for all dead in their tracks.

Way to go. Just bomb the lowest, rag-tag group of humans on this earth while Israel burns.

Wanna bet on how long it will be until the next drone attack or shot ship in the waters off Yemen by them turban head camel jockeys??

[SunkenCiv]

Nailed it.

> “Iran has many arms; you struggle with one arm here, you struggle with others there…” <

Carter stupidly removed the Shah. Then Bush II stupidly removed Saddam Hussein- under Saddam, Iraq was a counterweight to Iran. No longer.

Our leaders evidently do not understand the Law of Unintended Consequences.

[hardspunned]

I fear the Houthis will be able to respond proportionally to this. No one really knows what weapons the Houthis have just waiting for Iranian and Russian authorization to launch them. I’m certainly glad NATO has backed off attacking Russia with ATACMS. With any luck, the Russians haven’t sent their missiles and technicians yet.

[Mr. Mojo]

Yep, Russian air defense systems have been easily defeated by the IAF for about a half century.

[Justa]

“Wanna bet on how long it will be until the next drone attack or shot ship in the waters off Yemen by them turban head camel jockeys??”

Probably the next time a cargo ship refuses the Houthi’s toll-for-passage to use the canal.

[bert]

The Houthi's launch nothing. Iranian and some Russians residing in Yemen do the launching.

I don't use the term riff raff lightly. The Houthi are nothingness fronting for Iran.

The Haditha port fire is a message directly to Iran. Iran should be very, very worried about their exposed and defenseless oil export terminal that is in easy reach of Israeli war planes

[Eli Kopter]

The report I had was that there was 36 fighters, mostly F35s, and 8 sorties.

[avital2]

Bibi went for the Kill Shot while JoBlinken went for the pinpricks. should spice up the JoeBibi Tuesday meeting.ha!

[bert]

The report I saw said 12. I guess that was only one of several sorties.

It was a very strong message.

[TimSkalaBim]

Houthi!
gee-man tucka!

[MeanWestTexan]

The Russians had their best in Yemen.

They can barely project their power 100 miles from their own border, in the land of their cousins. They are way out of their depth in the Middle East.

[IAGeezer912]

WOW!! That is a target rich environment but it will probably buff out.

[hardspunned]

A Russian hypersonic missile battery and crew buried and reinforced in the Yemeni desert is something the Russians can do all day long, everyday, today and yesterday and there’s not a damned thing, short of nukes, the U.S. can do about it. Sand in the middle of the desert doesn’t explode and burn like an oil depot. This battery can sink an aircraft carrier within 800 or 900 miles of it. It can put a 1000 pound warhead anywhere in Israel with pinpoint accuracy. The battery’s missiles defeat all western air defense, ALL of it. The lesser Iranian ballistic missiles that the Houthis might be targeting any day are also available. Those 8 or 10 launched at Israel’s most secure airbase and intell center shredded the “iron dome”. Bibi playing with fire again.

Right now the Iran and Russian backed Hamas are conducting a massive social media propaganda campaign against the Saudi government with cartoons depicting starving skeletal Gazans next to feasting Saudis, and other nonsense.
