The Israeli Air Force (IAF) struck targets across Yemen on Thursday during the speech of Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, striking the port city of Hodeida and the international airport in the capital city of Sana’a in the interior. The wave of attacks marks the fourth since July, and came after Houthi rebels launched several ballistic missile attacks and drone attacks at Israel over the past several days, including on Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day.

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...

Israel carried out airstrikes against military targets in and around the Iranian capital, Tehran, tonight, retaliating for an Iranian ballistic missile barrage earlier this month. Iran’s nuclear facilities and oil installations appear to have been untouched in what the IDF called precise strikes. Israel also stuck military sites in Syria simultaneously. Were the strikes enough to deter Iran? Is there more to come? And will Iran respond? Watch now!

On Friday morning, we reported on the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) attack on Hezbollah headquarters, the primary goal of which was the removal of Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah. The IDF and the Israeli government, it has been reported, did not notify the United States of their intentions in advance of their attack on Hezbollah headquarters in Lebanon. This begs the question: Why should they?The United States had no advance warning of an Israeli strike in Beirut and U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin spoke with his Israeli counterpart as it was ongoing, a Pentagon spokesperson said on Friday.They were the U.S....

The Israeli military said it shot down a surface-to-surface missile from Yemen on Sunday, shortly after Israeli warplanes hit various Houthi targets in western Yemen. Yemen’s missile did not cross into Israeli territory, though “warnings of rocket and missile fire” were issued in case of falling fragments, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement on X. It came hours after the IDF’s Air Force planes attacked Houthi targets in the western Yemen port of Hodeida, which is used as a supply route for the transfer of Iranian weapons to Houthi rebels, the Israeli military said late Saturday.

BEIRUT (AP) — Israeli airstrikes around the Syrian city of Aleppo killed several people early on Monday, including an Iranian military adviser, the Syrian state media and Iranian news outlets reported. Israel did not immediately acknowledge the strikes. It was the first strike to kill an Iranian official since the April 1 attack on the Iranian Consulate in the Syrian capital of Damascus that killed seven people, including two Iranian generals and a member of Lebanon’s militant Hezbollah group. The strike triggered a first-ever direct Iranian military assault on Israel, sparking fears of a regionwide war. Syria's state-run SANA news...

We could call this A Tale of Two Facilities. Iran launched an unprecedented direct attack on Israel in retaliation for the targeted strike on IRGC and Hamas commanders. That attack did little damage despite a volley of well over 300 missiles and drones, thanks to the regional defenses and the several hours of lead time necessitated by Iran's launch from its own territory.That demonstrated the facility Iran has for offensive operations in the region. Israel responded by demonstrating its facility, and as the New York Times hears from officials in Iran and the West, the result shocked the Iranians:An Israeli...

Lebanese state media said the strikes were Israeli and that a car had been hit. Lebanese security sources said the air strikes hit factories and warehouses in an industrial...

I'm not sure I've ever seen such an incompetent group in my lifetime as the Biden administration. We were given fair warning about Joe Biden from Obama's Secretary of Defense Robert Gates. In his 2014 memoir, Gates said the then-vice president had "been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades." Now make that five decades, and add he's been wrong about virtually every major foreign policy issue so far that he's faced during his presidency. Gates doubled down on those claims during a 2021 interview on CBS' "60 Minutes," saying, "I...

The Houthis don’t seem to have been dissuaded from attacks on US targets thus far. In the last couple days they have launched attacks on a US commercial vessel and at a US Navy destroyer. Fortunately, the missile aimed at the destroyer was shot down. Today, the US hit another target inside Yemen as the Houthis were preparing another strike. The strikes on Tuesday were aimed at four missiles that were being prepared to be fired from their launchers and posed an imminent threat to merchant vessels and Navy ships, the command said in a statement…Residents in the area said...

Several Democrats on Capitol Hill scolded President Biden Thursday for launching airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen without congressional approval, arguing that the action was unconstitutional. “The President needs to come to Congress before launching a strike against the Houthis in Yemen and involving us in another middle east (sic) conflict,” Rep. Ro Khanna tweeted. “That is Article I of the Constitution. I will stand up for that regardless of whether a Democrat or Republican is in the White House.” “Section 2C of the War Powers Act is clear: POTUS may only introduce the US into hostilities after Congressional authorization...
