Israel isn’t getting enough credit for what just happened in Yemen.

 

On Thursday, Israel carried out a targeted airstrike in the capital city of Sanaa, eliminating the self-proclaimed Prime Minister of Yemen’s Houthi government, as well as his entire cabinet. In a single strike, Israel liquidated the leadership of one of the world’s most heinous terrorist groups – something no other country in the world has ever done. This isn’t just a victory for Israel – it’s a victory for all of us. In addition to waging a violent insurgency against the Yemeni government for over a decade, the group has also targeted countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE with drone and missile attacks. They've killed multiple crew members of international shipping vessels, and they've repeatedly waged war against Israel, sending millions running for shelter, many, many times. Now, though, the group’s operational and strategic capabilities have been set back – and the message is clear: the reach of Israel is limitless. Indeed, since October 7th, the Jewish state has carried out the most impressive and successful counterterrorism campaign in history – and they aren’t done yet. Another day, another mission, and another instance of Israel doing the world’s dirty work.
