Israel is preparing for a military offensive against Yemen's Houthi group in response to continued missile and drone attacks, the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation (KAN) said Monday.

The announcement came after Israel intercepted a ballistic missile and a drone launched by the Houthis earlier in the day.

KAN described the developments as part of escalating tensions linked to Iran’s regional allies.

“The Houthis have assumed the mantle of attacking Israel on behalf of the entire Iranian axis,” the report said, citing the weakened positions of Syria’s ousted Assad regime and Hezbollah group in Lebanon as contributing factors.

KAN also reported a consensus within Israel’s security establishment to strike back at Houthi targets.

The Houthis have launched six drones and two ballistic missiles toward Israel in the past week alone, officials said. However, the decision to initiate an attack is awaiting approval from the Israeli leadership.

The Israeli army stressed the importance of addressing the threat from Yemen.

“This requires shifting intelligence resources and preparing operational units for the mission,” it said.

The Houthis have not yet commented on the reports.

Earlier on Monday, the Houthis claimed responsibility for a hypersonic ballistic missile attack on a military target in Jaffa, a city in central Israel. Israeli emergency services reported injuries to five people in Tel Aviv and surrounding areas as they rushed to shelters following the attack.

The Houthis, in solidarity with Gaza, which has been facing an Israeli war since Oct. 7, 2023, have targeted Israeli cargo ships or those associated with Tel Aviv in the Red Sea with missiles and drones, expressing their determination to continue operations until the end of the onslaught on the enclave.

In retaliation, Israel has conducted two prior operations against Yemen.

The first, dubbed “Long Arm,” occurred in July, targeting Houthi-controlled Hudaydah port and fuel infrastructure at the city’s power plant. The second took place in September, focusing on multiple Houthi targets in the same region.

Since the beginning of 2024, a coalition led by the US has been conducting airstrikes that it said are targeting Houthi locations in parts of Yemen in response to attacks by the group in the Red Sea. The counterattacks have been occasionally met with retaliation from the group.

With the intervention of Washington and London and an escalation of tensions, the Houthis announced that they consider all American and British ships military targets.

Yemen can't be the attacker and the victim. Since peace for the houthis is unachievable then let them get war, death and destruction.

The only language the Arabs/Muslims understand is war, destruction and death.

Please advise your comrades to find isolated positions to launch their missiles into Israel. Israel has the technology of determining the trajectory of every missile launched into Israel and sending although a disproportionate and mightier response to the source of the missile with a radius of one kilometer from the epicenter.
In other words anyone found within one kilometer radius from the source of missile launch into Israel is a legitimate target.

The people today going by the name Palestinians were not in existence some good years ago. Ask Egyptians, Syrians, Lebanese, Jordanians who their ancient neighbors are they would all mention Israel. Even your Koran never for once mentioned Palestine. Who are these Palestinians?
Palestinians are descendants of Pilgrims who came to the holy land and couldn't find their ways back to their respective countries.
Palestine was only given to them for identity by the Greco-Romans. They are nonentity of no identity.

The Houthi group has been creating turmoil for months, attacking various ships in the Red Sea and launching drones and missiles at Israel. Their supporters often celebrate these actions, referring to them as resistance. If Israel decides to respond, I hope there won't be complaints in the media about excessive force when they take action against those responsible and weaken their capabilities. This pattern is similar with Hamas and Hezbollah, who have made significant noise and launched numerous attacks on Israel, but when faced with retaliation, the narrative shifts. Israel's defensive measures have prevented greater loss of life, and their targeted strikes are very different from the indiscriminate attacks from these groups. It's important to recognize that initiating conflict comes with consequences. If Israel wanted to escalate further, they could take more aggressive actions, but they are choosing restraint. The situation will continue to evolve, and those involved will need to be mindful of their actions. Am Yisrael Chai! 🇮🇱

Origins and Evolution of the Palestine Problem: 1917-1947

The question of Palestine was brought before the United Nations shortly after the end of the Second World War.

The origins of the Palestine problem as an international issue, however, lie in events occurring towards the end of the First World War. These events led to a League of Nations decision to place Palestine under the administration of Great Britain as the Mandatory Power under the Mandates System adopted by the League. In principle, the Mandate was meant to be in the nature of a transitory phase until Palestine attained the status of a fully independent nation, a status provisionally recognized in the League’s Covenant, but in fact the Mandate’s historical evolution did not result in the emergence of Palestine as an independent nation.

The decision on the Mandate did not take into account the wishes of the people of Palestine, despite the Covenant’s requirements that “the wishes of these communities must be a principal consideration in the selection of the Mandatory”. This assumed special significance because, almost five years before receiving the mandate from the League of Nations, the British Government had given commitments to the Zionist Organization regarding the establishment of a Jewish national home in Palestine, for which Zionist leaders had pressed a claim of “historical connection” since their ancestors had lived in Palestine two thousand years earlier before dispersing in the “Diaspora”.

During the period of the Mandate, the Zionist Organization worked to secure the establishment of a Jewish national home in Palestine. The indigenous people of Palestine, whose forefathers had inhabited the land for virtually the two preceding millennia felt this design to be a violation of their natural and inalienable rights. They also viewed it as an infringement of assurances of independence given by the Allied Powers to Arab leaders in return for their support during the war. The result was mounting resistance to the Mandate by Palestinian Arabs, followed by resort to violence by the Jewish community as the Second World War drew to a close.

After a quarter of a century of the Mandate, Great Britain submitted what had become “the Palestine problem” to the United Nations on the ground that the Mandatory Power was faced with conflicting obligations that had proved irreconcilable. At this point, when the United Nations itself was hardly two years old, violence ravaged Palestine. After investigating various alternatives the United Nations proposed the partitioning of Palestine into two independent States, one Palestinian Arab and the other Jewish, with Jerusalem internationalized. The partition plan did not bring peace to Palestine, and the prevailing violence spread into a Middle East war halted only by United Nations action. One of the two States envisaged in the partition plan proclaimed its independence as Israel and, in a series of successive wars, its territorial control expanded to occupy all of Palestine. The Palestinian Arab State envisaged in the partition plan never appeared on the world’s map and, over the following 30 years, the Palestinian people have struggled for their lost rights.

The Palestine problem quickly widened into the Middle East dispute between the Arab States and Israel. From 1948 there have been wars and destruction, forcing millions of Palestinians into exile, and engaging the United Nations in a continuing search for a solution to a problem which came to possess the potential of a major source of danger for world peace.

In the course of this search, a large majority of States Members of the United Nations have recognized that the Palestine issue continues to lie at the heart of the Middle East problem, the most serious threat to peace with which the United Nations must contend. Recognition is spreading in world opinion that the Palestinian people must be assured its inherent inalienable right of national self-determination for peace to be restored.

In 1947 the United Nations accepted the responsibility of finding a just solution for the Palestine issue, and still grapples with this task today. Decades of strife and politico-legal arguments have clouded the basic issues and have obscured the origins and evolution of the Palestine problem, which this study attempts to clarify..
