Houthis Reach Israel with Missile, Netanyahu Promises Revenge

Bro, the US tried to defeat the Houthis, and it isn’t possible.

If you get attacked by the Houthis, the best thing to do is just cover it up, because there is nothing you can do.

Bibi has lost his grip.

His mind is like a Radiohead song.

Not helpful thinking, Bibs.

A missile fired by Yemen’s Iran-backed rebels landed in an open area in central Israel early Sunday and triggered air raid sirens at its international airport, in the latest reverberation from the nearly yearlong war in Gaza. Israel hinted that it would respond militarily.

There were no reports of casualties or major damage, but Israeli media aired footage showing people racing to shelters in Ben Gurion International Airport. The airport authority said that it resumed normal operations shortly thereafter.

A fire could be seen in a rural area of central Israel, and local media showed images of what appeared to be a fragment from an interceptor that landed on an escalator in a train station in the central town of Modiin.

Israel’s army said the surface-to-surface missile was intercepted by Israel’s defense system, which hit and fragmented the target but did not destroy it. The military said the sound of explosions in the area came from interceptors.

In July, an Iranian-made drone launched by the Houthis struck Tel Aviv, killing one person and wounding 10 others. Israel responded with a wave of airstrikes on Houthi-held areas of Yemen, including the port city of Hodeidah, a Houthi stronghold.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hinted at a similar response in remarks at a Cabinet meeting after Sunday’s attack.

“The Houthis should have known by now that we exact a heavy price for any attempt to harm us,” he said. “Anyone who needs a reminder is invited to visit the port of Hodeidah.”

They don’t know that because you already maxed out the price you could exact from everyone and now anyone can just do whatever because you’re so totally all-in that nothing anyone does can affect your behavior.

The Iron Dome just doesn’t even work at all, which works with the maxing out of Israel’s escalation capacities to give everyone every reason to keep attacking Israel.

Of course, that’s what Bibs wants because he’s going for the real escalation, which is a US attack on Iran.
