Can someone confirm whether Yemen has officially declared war on Israel or just the Houthis have, or am I drawing a distinction that I should not?
the Houthis control the government of Yemen and much of the country
Thank you. I brushed up on the Houthis take over and now see it's pretty much in power.
Well this should be interesting.
Israel wont hit Yemen. It will rely on the US or Saudi Arabia to contain them
Nope- that missile they fired was a ballistic missile shot down by the Arrow MD system, not by the Iron Dome.bonfarr said:redsquirrelAG said:
Only a matter of time before a rocket or missile hits one of our ships to further commit us to the action.
I don't think the Houthis have anything sophisticated enough to get one of our ships unless they just get wildly lucky. Aren't their rockets dumb rockets with no precise guidance? They can just lob them in the direction of Israel which serves their purpose because they are just terror attacks.

maybe NOW they will rely on the Saudis.
but you can bet your bippy
that someday many of these current Houthi leaders are going to wake up dead from a Mossad visit.

Agreed.
Israel seems to have an acute focus on irradiating Hamas (rightfully and understandably so). Israeli allies, like the US are expected to support that mission and contain these other enemies (states and proxies) from taking advantage of the situation and attacking Israel.
At some point, specifically because Iran directs these proxies, it appears this will escalate to a much more involved conflict. These neighboring enemies seem far to comfortable with threaten rhetoric and actions.
This is what they said about Al Qaeda too. The hate is already there. Not responding won't get rid of the hate. The hope is to inflict enough pain that they won't act on their hate again.BULL said:
all that sounds good in theory.....but the "Hate" has been indoctrinated so deep into the culture it's going to be very difficult for this to "work" in the long run. The young bucks growing up will remember their city being blown apart by the Jews. The Palestinians will forget about that horrible Saturday in a year or so. (meaning they started all this). The unrest is embedded in their culture for generations.

just keep in mind that Israel has been launching airstrikes against Hizbullah targets
in both Lebanon and in Syria the last two weeks.

Right. It's an insane way to live.
That half the world sides with the Palestinians just shows the power of media.
That is an amazing link to the map. Really shows how Hamas flooded the zone and overwhelmed Israel's response capabilities. Still a colossal failure on Israel's part, but a great and poignant visualization of what and where.LMCane said:

And since none of us on Texags are super familiar with Israel/Gaza geography, that link was a very helpful visual reference for me.

Stay the course Israel. Cut the head off the snake.
I say you don't just cut the head off the snake. You destroy their den and kill anything that is willing to breed more snakes.agent-maroon said:

BREAKING: The US and Israel are exploring options for the future of the Gaza Strip, including the possibility of a multinational force that may involve American troops if Israeli forces succeed in ousting Hamas, per Bloomberg.

F that noise. We can provide material support and intelligence like we have always done, but we shouldn't even consider putting our servicemen into the mix. All that will gain would be to save muslim terrorists travel time to kill Americans.
Stupid, stupid, stupid idea
