The Spin

Tehran and its Houthi proxies pose a threat to the State of Israel, regional stability, and global navigation. The IDF's attack in Yemen on Sunday demonstrated Israel's ability to conduct long-range military operations with dozens of IAF aircraft and mid-air refueling aircraft. The targets were the Houthi terrorist regime's power plants and seaport. It was a significant strike and showed Israel's resolve to retaliate against all its enemies, both near and far. This while Israel continues to conduct military operations in Gaza and Lebanon.

The IDF airstrike on Yemen's Hodeidah port on Sunday was the second such attack. The previous strike on July 20th was an illegal, indiscriminate, or disproportionate attack on civilian facilities that could affect millions of people because the port provides food and humanitarian relief. IDF airstrikes follow the Houthi missile attacks. Both sides' attacks appear to cause disproportionate harm to civilians and property, which could amount to war crimes.
