Some 200 Israeli intel personnel said to have taken part in preparations for last week’s strike on Houthi leadership By Stav Levaton The IDF’s precision airstrike on senior Houthi officials in Sanaa, Yemen, last week followed weeks of intelligence gathering and operational preparation, Kan public broadcaster reports. According to Israeli security sources cited by Kan, the operation targeted a secretive security meeting involving top Houthi government and military leaders, identified by the Intelligence Directorate’s Research Division. Kan reports that around 200 intelligence personnel — including members of units 8200, 9900, and 504 — gathered in a classified bunker in central Israel to collect detailed intelligence on the Iran-backed terror group. Representatives from the US Central Command were also reportedly involved. Ahead of the strike, Israeli intelligence determined the exact timing and location of the meeting. Several potential sites were considered, and once a villa in a residential neighborhood of Sanaa was confirmed, plans were quickly approved by IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir and cleared at the political level, the report says. According to Kan, the presence of senior Israeli military and political officials overseeing the operation ensured that it complied with international law. The strike was reportedly carried out using Israeli Air Force fighter jets. Current estimates place more than 20 senior Houthi officials inside the targeted villa, alongside aides, drivers, and security personnel. Israeli authorities note that the Houthis deliberately held the meeting in a residential villa rather than an official government building, suggesting an attempt to conceal their movements. Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi, who has remained in hiding for years, was not among the senior officials killed. In a televised speech on the Houthis’ Al-Masirah TV on Sunday following Israel’s attack, he vowed to continue “targeting Israel with missiles and drones” and to escalate these attacks, asserting that recent Israeli strikes on rebel-held areas of Yemen would not weaken the group or discourage its fighters. Kan reports that al-Houthi remains a key IDF target for elimination due to his symbolic and operational significance, and that further operations are planned to deter ongoing missile and drone attacks from Yemen toward Israel. https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/some-200-israeli-intel-personnel-said-to-have-taken-part-in-preparations-for-last-weeks-strike-on-houthi-leadership/ Mynd44 nlfpmod

US Central Command were also reportedly involved. It's a US war against Iran. Isreal is just a proxy for the US. The fighter jets, fueling, bomb, intel etc was provided by the US. Now it looks like this is the type of proxy war of the future that Putin is trying to avoid by ensuring that US doesn’t build a military base in Ukraine. If Putin had allowed a NATO base in Ukraine perhaps Russians would by now have been slaughtered by Ukrainians acting as US proxies  It is a war between US and Iran being fought through proxies. 1 Like |

FreeStuffsNG:Go ahead and cry about it, or maybe call on Iran to swoop in and rescue Gaza from the beating Israel is delivering to Hamas terrorists. You clearly don’t even understand what “aid” means. Israel buys what it needs from the U.S., which in turn boosts America’s economy. So what exactly are you complaining about? Lol. It’s no different than Putin ensuring no U.S. base in Ukraine is the same way Israel is making sure Iran and other terror-backed groups don’t turn Gaza into an even bigger terrorist stronghold than it already is. Makes sense, right? 10 Likes 1 Share |

Isreal is a proxy to United States just like Houtis are proxy to Iran. So, what is big deal about that even if your assertion is true? 1 Like |

FreeStuffsNG:Na so una talk say Houthis are more powerful than America simply because no one really had their time. Anyways, we don't need crying here, they were warned early enough. NB: I note that we are finally coming to terms with the fact that Israel wiped the floor with Iran. This is progress even if we are still in some form of denial. |

FreeStuffsNG:What if Isreal is tumbling Gaza just for same reason? You are very myopic in your thoughts process. Don't let your hate for the US of A kill you before your time. |
