Israel will begin targeting leaders of Yemen’s Houthi rebel group, Defense Minister Israel Katz said Tuesday, vowing that Israel will not allow missile and drone fire on Israel to continue unchecked.
Firing at Houthi leaders would seem to mark an escalation by Israel, which has so far targeted port infrastructure and military sites in a handful of sorties in response to repeated launches of drones and ballistic missiles from Yemen. A missile fired early Tuesday was shot down, but sirens in the Tel Aviv area caused widespread panic and a rush to shelter left one woman seriously injured. It was the fourth drone or missile attack within a week from Yemen.
“Just as we took care of (Yayha) Sinwar in Gaza, (Ismail) Haniyeh in Tehran and (Hassan) Nasrallah in Beirut, we will deal with the heads of the Houthis in Sana’a or anywhere in Yemen,” Katz said, referring to the leaders of terror group Hamas and Hezbollah killed by Israel.
“We will act both against their infrastructure and against them to remove the threat,” he added while visiting an Arrow air defense system battery used to shoot down the Houthi missile overnight.
He also leveled a threat at the Houthis’ Iranian backers, vowing that “whoever sponsors the Houthi terror in Hodeida or Sana’a will pay the full price” naming a major port and the Yemen capital, respectively, both Houthis-controlled locations that Israel has bombed in retaliation for missile attacks...
Katz’s warning came the day after he threatened to “decapitate” the Houthi leadership in remarks that also confirmed Israel’s hand in killing Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh earlier this year....
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also warned on Sunday that Israel would act against the Houthis in Yemen with the same force it used against Iran’s other “terrorist arms,”

people with average IQ’s over 100 going after people with centuries of inbreeding and average IQ’s of about 60 or so. Good luck with that, Mahmoud.
>> This is the way.
Yep.
“Israel will begin targeting leaders of Yemen’s Houthi rebel group”
...And they will succeed. Because, unlike US intelligence, Israel has a REAL intelligence service (Mossad) focused OUTWARD on the ENEMIES OF THE NATION rather than focused INWARD upon WE THE PEOPLE, like our own damnable “intelligence” “services”.
>> going after people with centuries of inbreeding and average IQ’s of about 60 or so
When a culture’s reproduction is predicated upon crossing a (more or less) human with a goat from a random herd, you get an average IQ to match. In fact, 60 seems high. ;-)
Harder to do in Yemen than in Lebanon or Gaza. Yemen is a nutcase desert country run by militia fiefdoms, overpopulated, underdeveloped, and can barely supply food and water to its own people. Iran is happy to give some of the crazies missiles, though.
I don’t want American boots on the ground but we should consider 100 days of high altitude B-2 bunker buster bombing raids on Yemeni and Iranian missile and nuclear sites. Just end it now before it gets worse. Go on TV and declare “we are not at war with you the people, go ahead and run your own affairs we’re not going to invade, but these missile strikes and nuclear bombs is where we draw the line”. We are truly the only country who can do it. It’s not pleasant and not ideal but for Pete’s sake this can’t continue on its present trajectory.
There they were, Yemenites breeding and mating with their goats for centuries. Chewing on “Gat” (a mild narcotic), eating “Schug” (spicy hot dip) being boiled by the desert sun, learning basic survival skills and trades but basically staying the way they have been since Bible times.
Then, in 1948 about 50,000 Jewish Yemenites fled that Camel hole behind (no pun intended) for the growing State of Israel.
Yemen lost her Jews and with that her brains and economy. It has been nothing but dust grit in their teeth and civil wars ever since.
In short, they live with their heads up their bums not producing very much for themselves or the world.
They are in “Beatle” terminology, “Real nowhere man (people)”.
At the behest of Iran, the Houthi sect is launching ICBMs at Israel’s population centers and...for what purpose? To “identify” with their PALEOstinian brothers in Gaza? They launch attacks on international shipping and...for what? What will they gain? The answer is nothing. Now they will lose what little they have as they have aroused the Israelis who just happen to be on the right side of history and know how to really hit back. This is what will now happen and the listless Yemenites will go back to pounding their herds in the relentless heat of the southern Arabian peninsula.
Yet Yemen once was a centre of civilisation.
It was the location of Sheba and had the millenia old Marib dam.
Then it went on a long decline to the stone age.
What triggered it off?
It can be traced to the 7th century and the spread of Islam.
“Israel will begin targeting leaders of Yemen’s Houthi rebel group...”
Public Address: “Paging Iqmad Houthi on Line 1.”
Iqmad Houthi: “Oh shit”
Adios, goat-fos
Israel must have some capability through their inside intelligence service to be so confident.
Napalm still works, Mr. Katz
