Israel Air Force And US Military Launch Joint Counter-Strike Against Houthis In Yemen After Missile Hit Ben Gurion Airport In Tel Aviv Over The Weekend

The Israel Air Force is undertaking a joint counter-strike of the Houthis in Yemen along with the US night following the ballistic missile strike near Ben Gurion Airport on Sunday, The Jerusalem Post has learned.

Just yesterday, we published an article asking the question can Israel either alone or with help from the United States, defeat the Houthis in Yemen. Today we report to you that a blistering offensive against the Houthis was just launched by both Israel and the US, dropping over 50 massive bombs on shipping ports and centers of air travel. No doubt about it, an impressive display of airpower. But the question remains, is that enough to stop the Houthis from further attacks against Israel? The uncomplicated short answer is no.

“And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!” Genesis 17:18 (KJB)

Watch any decent documentary on WWII and pay close attention to the bombing campaigns launched in the Pacific against the Japanese. On some of those islands, the US bombed them for 3 months straight before sending in the Marines, and the island looked like all traces of life were gone. Not so. To their shock, the Marines found that tens of thousands of Japanese remained quite alive and quite capable of unleashing deadly attacks which killed Marines in the thousands before gaining control. Watching the Israel and US counter-strikes on Houthis happening now is impressive but it will do very little to stop the Houthis from further attacks against the Jews.

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: Foreign reports are describing close to a dozen attack sites. This is the sixth Israeli air strike on the Houthis since July 2024, following over 400 attacks by the Iranian proxy on Israel over the course of the war. Just before 9:00 p.m., the IDF formally acknowledged attacking the Houthis around the Hodeidah seaport in Yemen, approximately 2,000 kilometers away.

Targets included the Hodeidah seaport, which the IDF noted serves as a major source of income for the Houthi regime. “The Hodeidah seaport is used to transfer Iranian weapons, equipment for military needs, and other terrorist needs.” In addition, the military said, the Bajil concrete factory east of the city of Hodeidah was attacked, which serves as an important economic resource for the Houthi terrorist regime and is used to build tunnels and military infrastructure.”

Next, the IDF stated, “The Houthi terrorist regime has been operating for the past year and a half under Iranian direction and funding in order to harm Israel and its allies, undermine the regional order, and disrupt global freedom of navigation. The IDF is determined to continue to act and strike forcefully at anyone who poses a threat to the residents and citizens of the State of Israel, and at whatever distance is required.”

Israel’s last counterstrike against the Houthis was on January 11, before US President Donald Trump took office. Since then, Israel has hoped that over 1,000 airstrikes by the US under Trump would be sufficient to stop Houthi attacks on Israel without Jerusalem getting directly involved. However, the Houthis’ successful hit near Ben Gurion shook up that calculation.

On January 11, Israel’s air force, in coordination with the United States and Britain, conducted what were the largest coordinated airstrikes of the war against the Houthis in Yemen up until that time, targeting a Houthi power station and two ports used by the Iran-backed group. The targets Israel struck on January 11 included military infrastructure sites at Hezyaz power station, and military infrastructure in the Hodeidah and Ras Issa ports on the Western coast.

The coalition was expected to attack weapons facilities, control and command bases, and underground places, while Israel strikes the Houthis’ economic facilities, which have military and civilian use, such as ports, airports, power plants, etc. READ MORE
