IDF strikes at key ports used by Houthis in Yemen

After the Houthis terrorist organization fired a rocket that struck the Ben-Gurion airport, the IDF took to destroying key routes used by the jihadists for supplies from Iran:
Israel destroyed the main airport in Sana’a, Yemen, the country’s capital, to prevent the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels from using it to rearm their missiles and resupply their forces, in the latest counterattack.

Tuesday’s airstrikes were the second in as many days, after the Israeli Air Force (IAF) attacked the Hodeidah port Monday, following a Houthi missile attack on Sunday that hit Israel’s main airport, Ben Gurion.
Of course, Iran itself still remains a serious threat, as they too have similar weapons they can fire from their area. Which is why the Israeli government's hinted at taking out Iran's key distribution areas too. And we must hope the IDF does.

Update: in addition to the above news, another vital read is the following report about Iran's involvement in the October 7, 2023 massacre in southern Israel:
The Iranian explosive charge, discovered near Kibbutz Alumim and carried by Hamas terrorists during the brutal onslaught of October 7, is not a random artifact - it is yet another direct piece of evidence of Tehran's involvement in the October 7 massacre.

Iran has never concealed its broad support for Hamas. On the contrary, it proudly boasts of arming, training and funding the terrorist group's infrastructure for years. Supreme Leader Khamenei openly praises the massacre but attempts to shirk responsibility. Yet as more evidence surfaces, including Hamas documents seized by the IDF during fighting in Gaza, Iran's denials ring increasingly hollow.

The documents reveal that the Quds Force, particularly its Palestinian branch led by Saeed Izadi, was actively involved in planning a wide-ranging terror campaign against Israel. Ultimately, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar proceeded without final coordination with Tehran or Hezbollah, thus averting an even more lethal combined assault.
Utterly abominable. The time for destroying Iran's government and military is long overdue.

Hamas continues to execute its own subjects

It's not just people suspected of collaborating with Israeli authorities that the Hamas is murdering. It's also looters:
Hamas has executed several individuals accused of looting as part of a harsh crackdown amid growing lawlessness in Gaza, according to sources close to the group, Reuters reported.

A wave of violence this week allegedly saw armed gangs raiding food stores and community kitchens, highlighting the breakdown of civil order under Hamas' rule. Hamas claims that some of those targeted were collaborating with Israel—an allegation not independently verified and not addressed by Israeli authorities. [...]

Ismail Al-Thawabta, spokesperson for Hamas' media office, said executions had been carried out against individuals allegedly involved in looting. He further claimed, without evidence, that some of these individuals had backing from Israel, a narrative often used by the group to justify its crackdowns.

To tighten control, Hamas has imposed nightly curfews and mobilized a 5,000-member force to target looters and dissenters. However, Israeli drone operations have reportedly hampered the group’s efforts, particularly when armed personnel are detected.
And all the while, anti-Israelists vehemently refuse to acknowledge any of these serious issues. The double-standards at work are utterly repugnant.
