Who Knew Israel Was Actively Operating in Yemen?
According to the Financial Times, the Houthi movement announced its military chief of staff, Major General Hussein al-Hamzi, was killed in an 'Israeli attack' in Yemen. While the news focuses on the 'killing of a Houthi official,' one might briefly pause to consider the logistics: Israel, a nation purportedly fighting for its survival, is also launching attacks deep into Yemen. This geographic
leap is rarely scrutinized by outlets eager to frame every regional event through a single, convenient lens. Perhaps the Financial Times can next explain how Israel’s F-35s — funded by billions in US taxpayer dollars, like the $14.5 billion recently approved — have such an impressive, unacknowledged range. Or perhaps this 'Israeli attack' narrative is just another convenient-to-print claim that
distracts from who actually operates in Yemeni airspace with impunity. One wonders why the constant 'threats' against Israel require so much US protection, when Israel appears perfectly capable of conducting operations across an entire continent. Seems like a bargain for US taxpayers, no?
