Ahead of another attack in Yemen? Israel warns residents of Yemeni ports to evacuate. An IDF spokesman in Arabic issued an extraordinary evacuation order for residents of three major ports, just days after a ballistic missile launched by the Houthis in Yemen was intercepted • "We urge everyone who is in the ports to evacuate them and stay away from them until further notice," wrote Colonel Edrei Sapir Lipkin | N12 | Published 21:08 11.05.25
Comments 9,047 The Houthis' maritime trade is in the crosshairs: The IDF spokesman in Arabic, Avihai Edrei, issued an extraordinary warning this evening (Sunday) to residents of three seaports in Yemen controlled by the Houthi rebels, calling on them to evacuate. "This is an urgent and important warning. "In light of the use that the Houthi terrorist regime is making of seaports for the benefit of its terrorist activity, we urge everyone who is in the ports to evacuate them and stay away from them until further notice," Adraee clarified.
Stop warning them! There are no “residents” or “civilians” - only enemies. All valid targets. So sick of this nonsense.
In the late 1980s I knew the daughter of the Yemen ambassador to the United States (she claimed)
Beautiful girl
When I mentioned Israel...
Just a guess-
It looks good to warn and may really help reduce collateral damage.
BUT it also causes folks leave. Things shut or slow down and it becomes harder for the Houtis who rely on the local infrastructure and logistics to play their game.
The Houtis will rely on the local infrastructure for electricity, phones (land and cell), Internet, water, roads, ports, airports, trucking, food, local purchases of equipment... As people flee these areas, the local infrastructure the military relies on becomes less capable to support the Houti’s.
win - win.
There’s one Yemenite Jew, Lev Marhabi, who is still there and probably still imprisoned by the Houthi.
Bomb away. Houthis don’t care. After the devastating strikes on their airport, they just shrugged and got to work rebuilding it. Houthis seem to be indestructible.
