The Israeli army is planning to strike Yemen in response to recent Houthi missile and drone attacks, the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation Kan reported on Monday.

The Houthi movement, known officially as Ansar Allah, claimed to have struck a “military target” near Tel Aviv on Monday with a hypersonic ballistic missile.

The group’s military spokesman Yahya Saree declared in a televised address that the operation was a success, though Israeli media reported intercepting the missile before it entered its airspace.

The Houthis have been launching attacks against Israel since the outbreak of the war in Gaza last year. They say the attacks are in solidarity with Palestinians.

The Yemeni group has also targeted shipping lanes in the Red Sea, describing these operations as part of their efforts to pressure Israel into halting the war on Gaza.

    This has all been made possible through the weakness of Democrats, namely Joe Biden and those who refuse to challenge his leadership.

        How much do you have to suck to run a campaign against Donald Trump and lose twice. Other world leaders outright say he speaks like a child.

        At the end of the day you can blame the electorate all damn day or you can recognize the embarrassment that is the US democratic party and the campaigns they ran, completely missing the mark.
