Israel Vows Retaliation After Houthi Missile Strike

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Yemen's Houthi forces will face severe repercussions after a missile fired by the group landed in central Israel. The missile, which struck an uninhabited area early Sunday, marks a significant escalation, as it is the first time a Houthi missile has reached such deep into Israeli territory.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that the missile landed in central Israel after evading air defense systems. Shrapnel found at the scene indicated that Israeli efforts to intercept the missile were unsuccessful. The military is now investigating how the missile managed to reach so far, nearly 2,000 kilometers (1,240 miles) from Yemen.

The Houthis, an armed group involved in Yemen’s civil war, claimed responsibility for the attack, saying they used a new type of hypersonic missile, which may explain the failure to intercept it. In a statement, the group declared that the strike was in solidarity with the Palestinian cause, and warned that Israel should expect further attacks ahead of the anniversary of the 7 October Hamas-led assault.

The missile caused minor damage at a railway station in Modiin and in open land near Tel Aviv’s main international airport. Israeli authorities believe the damage resulted from fragments of Israel’s own interceptor missiles.

Netanyahu framed the strike as part of a broader conflict with Iran’s so-called "axis of resistance," which includes the Houthis, Hamas, and other Iran-backed groups opposed to Israel and its allies.

"We are in a multi-front battle against Iran’s axis of evil that seeks to destroy us," Netanyahu stated. "The Houthis should have learned by now that we exact a heavy price for any attempt to harm us."

This incident follows previous Houthi attacks, including a drone strike in July that killed one person and injured eight in Tel Aviv. In response to Sunday’s missile strike, Israeli jets launched retaliatory strikes on Hodeidah in Yemen, targeting key infrastructure, including an oil storage facility, which was set ablaze.

Israel continues its military campaign against Hamas following the 7 October attacks, which left around 1,200 people dead and 251 hostages taken to Gaza. According to the Hamas-run health ministry, more than 41,206 people have died in Gaza since Israel launched retaliatory operations.

Never forget that this would not be happening had Biden reined in Israel in October '23 instead of giving them a blank check to attack anyone they please. At the very least there should have been consequences for Israel bombing an embassy.

Instead Biden promised iron clad support for Israel. We're now facing the possibility of a huge regional war that will devastate the lives of tens of millions of civilians in West Asia

The Axis of Resistance is an informal Iran-led political and military coalition in the Middle East. The Axis is composed of different political and military organisations.

Despite their differing ideologies and interests, they are unified by their declared objectives of opposing the regional influence of the Western countries and Israel in the region.

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS ATTEND HANIYEH'S FUNERAL IN TEHRAN, RESISTANCE VOWS REVENGE

📹 Scenes from the funeral of Ismail Haniyeh after he was assassinated in Tehran on Wednesday morning, drawing hundreds of thousands of mourners in support of the resistance in Gaza.

The axis of resistance has vowed revenge for the assassination of Haniyeh, with Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei warning the Israeli regime of a "harsh response" to the crime, calling it the duty of the Islamic Republic to avenge the Palestinian resistance leader's blood.

“The criminal and terrorist Zionist regime martyred our dear guest in our homeland and left us bereaved, but it also set the ground for a harsh punishment for itself,” Khamenei said.

shockingly people actually hate genocide so no actually putin doesn't have to buy bots in order to get people mad at the us government's complicity in the genocide, nancy

It's actually crazy talking to friends and relatives about what's going on because very few of them know that this is a retaliatory attack. I keep seeing people online call the attack unprovoked too.

So those who don't know, on April 1st Israeli warplanes bombed Iran's consulate in Damascus. The attack killed 7 of Iran’s military advisers including 3 senior commanders.

Reuters reporters at the site in the Mezzeh district of Damascus saw emergency workers clambering atop rubble of a destroyed building inside the diplomatic compound, adjacent to the main Iranian embassy building. Emergency vehicles were parked outside. An Iranian flag hung from a pole by the debris.

Iran's ambassador to Syria said the strike hit a consular building in the embassy compound and that his residence was on the top two floors. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said in a statement that seven Iranian military advisers died in the strike including Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a senior commander in its Quds Force, which is an elite foreign espionage and paramilitary arm.

This attack on the embassy is against international law. Embassies are protected sites. But instead of condemning the attack and putting pressure on Israel, the US has spent the past week and a half calling West Asian countries to put pressure on Iran, with Biden going as far as to warn Iran not to attack Israel and saying that his support for Israel is 'iron clad'.

The West, the UN, and UN Security Council have largely failed to condemn the attack which means Iran has no choice but to retaliate with force in order to prevent future attacks. Otherwise, the country will look vulnerable and weak, especially to the Israeli occupation government which has spent months bombing neighbouring countries like Syria and Lebanon

A good rule of thumb is that if you do a even the most basic Google search on a news source and NOTHING comes up aside from their own website and some.social media posts - no information about owners, affiliations, how long they've been in existence, no independent information about their organization whatsoever that isn't copy-pasted from their own site or references to it by other places of record - you should probably be cautious about using it as a source

Since the start of Al-Aqsa Flood, all the forces of the Axis of Resistance, spanning across Arab and Islamic countries, have solidified strategies for providing the highest level of “effective support” for the resistance in Palestine. Multiple joint operations rooms have been established to monitor the field conditions for tactical and strategic operations, in addition to political activities. Furthermore, numerous plans have been drawn up to reinforce the strength of several Resistance factions in various arenas.
