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.
