Israeli jets strike back at Houthis in Yemen after deadly Tel Aviv attack as all signs indicate Deif is dead
Israeli fighter jets for the first time attacked Yemen Saturday, retaliating on the Houthi stronghold days after the Iran-backed group attacked the former U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv, in a drone strike that killed one and wounded seven.
Saturday’s military operation targeted the western Yemen city of al-Hudaydah, The Times of Israel reported. The bombs destroyed fuel repositories and oil refineries.
The Israel Defense Forces confirmed the retributive strikes, saying it was a response to the hundreds of attacks the Houthis have aimed at Israel in recent months. The group has joined Iran in efforts to punish Israel for its war in Gaza.
Earlier reports suggested that the US and UK had also sent jets as part of the mission, but the Times of Israel reported that Israeli jets alone carried out the strikes.
The retaliation came as some U.S. politicians, including Democratic Rep. Ritchie Torres, began calling on President Biden’s administration to reverse its February 2021 removal of the group from the Foreign Terrorist Organizations list.
Torres, in a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, wrote that, in light of the Tel Aviv attack, “strongly” urged him “to consider relisting the Houthis as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.”
Meanwhile, Israeli military officials said there is “increasing” evidence last weekend’s major airstrike on Gaza did in fact kill Mohammed Deif, the Hamas leader thought to have masterminded the Oct. 7 terror attacks on the Jewish state that triggered the ongoing nine-month offensive.
“The signs are increasing as to the success of the elimination of Muhammad Deif,” said IDF Spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, reports the Times of Israel.
Hagari said Hamas is concealing what happened to Deif July 13, when IDF forces dropped five 2,000-pound bombs in the al-Mawasi area, taking out Hamas commander Rafa’a Salameh.
Hagari claims Salameh and Deif “were next to each other at the time” of last week’s bombings, and confirmed Salameh was “definitely eliminated” in the attack.
Word of Deif’s likely demise came on the heels of IDF’s strikes Saturday on a building linked to a company that allegedly funds the terrorist group’s atrocities.
The building, located in a designated humanitarian zone on the Gaza Strip, was bombed on Friday, the Times of Israel reported.
IDF said the business was used for safekeeping Hamas munitions and funneling money to the terrorists since the war’s start.
Biden Antisemites weighing sanctions against two Israeli ministers
The Biden administration is weighing sanctions against Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, head of the Religious Zionism party, and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who heads Otzma Yehudit, Axios reported.
The Axios report quoted three US officials, who said that the US government sees the two ministers as responsible for the unrest and security situation in Judea and Samaria.
The report comes ahead of the expected meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Joe Biden, which is scheduled for early next week.
On Monday evening, the US Treasury Department announced that it would remove Aviad Shlomo Sarid, a resident of Revava in Samaria, from the list of sanctions that were mistakenly imposed on him.
The sanctions were imposed on Sarid following a misidentification, as his name is similar to one of the leaders of the Tzav 9 organization, Aviad Sarid. The US had also imposed sanctions on Reut Ben Haim from Tzav 9, a 38-year-old mother of eight who resides in Netivot.
Washington Post Slams the Parents of Hostages Parents For Not Condemning Israel then Delets it!
The Washington Post has deleted a post on X, which scolded the distraught parents of an Israeli-American hostage held in Gaza, for not accusing Israel of killing innocent Gazans. Even after the post was deleted, the article itself echoes the sentiment.
The parents of Omer Neutra addressed the RNC in an extremely emotional speech, in an effort to bring attention to those Americans (and Israelis) being held captive since Oct. 7, and the Biden administration’s failure to bring them home.
The now deleted post read:
“Omer Neutra has been missing since the Oct. 7 attack on Israel. When his parents speak publicly, they don’t talk about Israel’s assault on Gaza that has killed over 38,000 Palestinians, according to local officials. Experts have warned of looming famine.”
He is not "missing" he is being held hostage!
The post received major backlash for asserting that Omer was “missing”, not being held captive and that his parents should be advocating on behalf of civilians in Gaza. Some are calling for the editor and author to be fired.

TV host Lou Dobbs dies at 78
Lou Dobbs, the conservative political pundit and TV host who was a nightly presence on Fox Business Network for more than a decade, passed away on Thursday at the age of 78, according to The Associated Press.
His death was announced in a post on his official X account, which called him a "fighter till the very end -- fighting for what mattered to him the most, God, his family and the country."
"Lou's legacy will forever live on as a patriot and a great American. We ask for your prayers for Lou's wonderful wife Debi, children and grandchildren," the post said.
Dobbs hosted "Lou Dobbs Tonight" on FOX Business from 2011 to 2021, following two separate stints at CNN.
Fox canceled Dobbs’ show in February of 2021, after the network and Dobbs were sued for defamation by voting technology firm Smartmatic, which claimed $2.7 billion in losses from the network for promoting false claims that the company was involved in fraud in the November 2020 presidential election.
A mediator in 2023 pushed the two sides toward a $787 million settlement, averting a trial.
At the time of the cancellation, Dobbs' show had the highest viewership on Fox News' affiliate channel, averaging more than 300,000 viewers every night.
Fox News Media said in a statement on Thursday that the network was saddened by Dobbs' passing.
"An incredible business mind with a gift for broadcasting, Lou helped pioneer cable news into a successful and influential industry," the statement said. "We are immensely grateful for his many contributions and send our heartfelt condolences to his family."
Chief Rabbi's ruling: Releasing Murderers & Rapists 'permitted' in order to free hostages
Outgoing Sephardic Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef on Thursday morning urged the Israeli government to sign a ceasefire-prisoner swap deal with the Hamas terror group.
Speaking at an event at the President's Residence in Jerusalem, Rabbi Yosef urged, "They should finish the deal already. There's nothing else to do - release terrorists with blood on their hands, it hurts the heart, we released [Hamas leader] Yahya SInwar and we saw what happened, but this is a matter of immediate life and death."
"If you don't release them, they will kill the hostages, this is a time-sensitive matter of life and death. It could be that these [terrorists] will later go out and kill, that's not immediate, the hostages are immediate."
Rabbi Yosef also noted the opinion of his father, the late Sephardic Chief Rabbi Ovadia Yosef: "We are permitted to release all of the accursed terrorists, and later they will do something small and we will immediately kill them. We need to pray that all of them return to their homes and are mentally well, and may we hear good news."
Regarding the IDF, he added, "We must not forget that they are emissaries. All of the soldiers sacrifice their lives. We learn Torah and pray for them."
"They protect us. What would we do if there weren't all of these soldiers? They are G-d's emissaries, they are emissaries of the One Above, they sacrifice their lives for us, we pray for them."
