According to Al Hadath, the Primary Target of the Strikes on Sana’a International Airport in Yemen was the Control Tower and also may have been the Houthi’s F-5 fighter jet shown during a military parade last year (attached image). While the Houthis do operate a number of fixed-wing aircraft on paper, U.S. officials have long said that these aircraft are not combat capable. The Runway was hit and damaged as well.

The attack is now unfolding in broad daylight, with three primary objectives:
1.Sana’a Airport – Completely shut down.
2.Power Plants in Sana’a – Destroyed.
3.Hodeidah Seaport – Shut down once again.

This is not a routine operation but the start of a potentially prolonged campaign.

Reports indicate that Egypt is preparing to launch an attack on the Houthis in Yemen.

Israeli media reports increased fighter jet and transport aircraft activity at Egyptian airbases.

Egypt’s Suez Canal has seen its revenues nosedive by more than 60 percent in 2024 compared to the previous year, amounting to a staggering $7 billion loss, according to a statement released on Thursday.

The canal, which facilitates 12 percent of global trade and is a lifeline for Egypt’s battered economy, has been heavily impacted by Israel’s war on Gaza and the Houthis in Yemen.

Yemen’s Houthi movement has threatened ships carrying goods to Israel, effectively disabling trade passing into the Red Sea through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.

Since November 2023, the Houthis have launched nearly 100 attacks on ships in the Red Sea, actions they say are in solidarity with Palestinians suffering under Israel’s war on Gaza, which has killed more than 45,400 people and wounded at least 107,940 Palestinians.

The Houthis have said they will stop their attacks if Israel’s war on Gaza stops.

U.S. Intelligence Reveals China-Houthi Network: American intelligence sources reportedly revealed that the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen are using Chinese-made weapons for their assaults on shipping in the Red Sea in exchange for refraining from attacks upon Chinese vessels. After Houthi leaders visited China in 2023 and 2024 to establish a supply chain, the group was able to obtain “advanced components and guidance equipment” for their missiles, according to Israel’s i24 News. The report claimed that the Houthis plan to utilize the Chinese weapons components to produce hundreds of cruise missiles capable of striking Persian Gulf states.

Aga kindel on see, et õhulööke saab ta vahel ikka , Trumpi ajal ja hiljem ka. Nii on kõigile tervislikum
