Officials said the strikes were part of an effort to keep Houthis and ISIS from attacking Western assets.

U.S. air strikes blew up Houthi strongholds in Yemen on Saturday just days after an American military operation killed an ISIS leader in Syria.

The operations were announced by Central Command (CENTCOM) in Tampa as military leaders sought to degrade terrorist assets across the Middle East ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House next month.

The strikes in Syria occurred Friday in territory previously held by the Syrian government and Russia before the collapse of the Assad regime. They killed ISIS leader Abu Yusif aka Mahmud and another operative, officials said.

“As stated before, the United States — working with allies and partners in the region — will not allow ISIS to take advantage of the current situation in Syria and reconstitute,” Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla said.

“ISIS has the intent to break out of detention the over 8,000 ISIS operatives currently being held in facilities in Syria. We will aggressively target these leaders and operatives, including those trying to conduct operations external to Syria,” he added.

The US is everywhere blowing siht up!

Did you not notice that Houthis have been taking potshots at U.S. Navy vessels and Merchant ships? With Iranian and possibly Russian targeting? “Millions for defense, but not a penny for tribute”

Are you remotely aware of how evil ISIS is?

There’s gotta be some loose bowels in Teheran and Moscow this evening.

Is this a “war”? Approved by whom?

[Oscar in Batangas]

Air strikes are sooo Top Gunny.

Give me the after-action news coverage of another round of booby-trapped pagers any day.

...and engaged enemy drones and mussikes, official said.

Mussikes??

ISIS is like weeds. You can spray weeds with Roundup and think you’ve killed them all, but soon enough...

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Root them out. ISIS fills a vacuum. I suppose that Bush I realized that deposing Saddam would create a power vacuum, and Iran, or something as bad or worse, would fill it. Saddam may not have been our son of a bitch, but he was preferrable to the alternative sons of bitches.

Arab leaders use antisemitism to keep their populations in check. Rather than blame their corrupt leaders they turn their ire on the ewige Jude.
