They need to hit them harder, but they really need to hit Iran for most of this Islamic terrorism to stop.

US Defense officials say more large scale strikes conducted against Houthi forces

The strikes consisted of Tomahawk missiles fired from U.S. warships, as well as F-18 fighter jets from the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier


U.S. Defense officials said U.S. and U.K. ships and warplanes carried out multiple strikes on Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen on Monday.

Multiple locations in Yemen experienced large explosions which were the result of the airstrikes.

A U.S. official tells Fox News one of the Houthi targets struck by U.S. and British munitions included Al Dailami Air Base along with missile launching sites and weapons storage facilities for ballistic missiles and drones.

This is the second joint U.S.-U.K. strikes from air and sea since Jan 11.

The strikes consisted of Tomahawk missiles fired from U.S. warships, as well as F-18 fighter jets from the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier.

"Today, the militaries of the United States and United Kingdom, at the direction of their respective governments with support from Australia, Bahrain, Canada, and the Netherlands, conducted an additional round of proportionate and necessary strikes against 8 Houthi targets in Yemen in response to the Houthis' continued attacks against international and commercial shipping as well as naval vessels transiting the Red Sea," a joint statement from the U.S., U.K. and other countries stated.

The statement referred to a series of illegal, dangerous and destabilizing Houthi actions, including anti-ship ballistic missile and unmanned aerial system attacks that struck two U.S.-owned merchant vessels earlier this month.

The "precision strikes" on Monday were intended to "disrupt and degrade" Houthi efforts to threaten global trade and the lives of mariners.

"Today's strike specifically targeted a Houthi underground storage site and locations associated with the Houthis' missile and air surveillance capabilities," the statement read. "The Houthis' now more than thirty attacks on international and commercial vessels since mid-November constitute an international challenge.

"Our aim remains to de-escalate tensions and restore stability in the Red Sea, but let us reiterate our warning to Houthi leadership: we will not hesitate to defend lives and the free flow of commerce in one of the world's most critical waterways in the face of continued threats," the joint statement continued.

I was specifically referring to the war crimes being done in Gaza, not to broader Yemeni social issues.
Yes, that is what makes your comment so stupid.

The Houthis are massive abusers of human rights. Even if you support one action of theirs, you don't need to pretend they have any interest in human rights.


BTW. They are clear that their interest in Gaza goes way beyond ending the current fight. Just look at their flag.

That was the one building in which Hamas was not hiding out. You just disproved your point.
You know, we all know you are really old and racist, but you really should get checked out with your doctor.
The senility is really looking serious.

So is it over?
Did the US win against the Houthis?

Are your amazon deliveries faster again?
It's not over...the US aren't fighting the Houthis....they're keeping them in check....all the Houthis do is disruption...they're not going to war LoL...they can't afford a war...You really think the US will even bother fighting Yemen? Even a battalion from WW2 with not so high tech weaponry would beat the Houthis....

Why do you lie so pathetically?
Where have I ever made such a call?
Your calls for a ceasefire are meaningless because Israel will not agree unless Hamas returns the hostages. which they say they will not do. So don't even bother anymore. It's just a bluff.

So the ONLY options are a Hamas surrender or they keep fighting. You have predicted that 500,000 will die if the war continues. You don't want them to surrender. You want Hamas to keep fighting even though 500,000 will die.

So according to your position you clearly are calling for 500,000 Palis to die. That's a disgusting stance to take.
