On March 19, the city of Eilat in southern Israel came under missile attack of the Yemeni Houthis (Ansar Allah movement). Yemen’s Military spokesman Yahya Saree reported that several cruise missiles were targeted the Umm al-Rashrash area near the city, which is an important Israeli port. According to the military official, the missiles hit all designated targets.
The Israeli military acknowledged that the explosion that took place in the area was caused by the strike of a cruise missile from Yemen.
This is the first successful attack on Eilat by Yemeni forces. The other drone strikes were launched by the resistance factions from the Syrian territory.
In addition, the Houthis reported another attack on an American vessel traveling in the Red Sea. A representative of the movement claimed that the US tanker Mado was hit by anti-ship missiles.
“The Yemeni Navy conducted an operation using several anti—ship missiles, which targeted the American vessel Mado in the Red Sea,” Yahya Saree said.
This vessel carries liquefied petroleum gas, and it sails under the flag of the Marshall Islands.
The Houthis have attacked over 60 Israel-affiliated vessels and others owned by the U.S. and the UK in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden since last November in response to the Israeli war and siege on Gaza. In response, the U.S. and the UK launched hundreds of strikes against Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen in recent months. At least 34 people were killed in the strikes. Despite this, the Houthis remain unfettered.

hypersonic missile?
they said “cruise missile”. unlikely hypersonic.
cruise missile is a type, of missile by its flight trajectory, it can be sub-sonic, super-sonic and hyper-. this missile was subsonic obviously, civilian vessel doesn’t deserve something more complicated. hothis also launch ballistic anti-ship missiles, one of them struck a floating base (expeditionary forces platform) o fashington.
fashington is currently jewington-neocon. however, it’s the same thing. same origin.
houthis ought to employ a hypersonicmissile and go straight for the jugular of the occupiers of palestine
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
yemeni armed forces move forward.
that’s right.
ozaj a budú ich časom topiť? alebo ich iba tak škrabnú? zrejme si budeme musieť ešte chvíľu počkať. svetu mier!!!
nobody like us ugly amerikan
keep you know, milking the amerikkan taxpayer dry, that is the kosher plan
nobody is attacking the israeli airfields. i think that must be against the builderberg agreements.
maybe because it’s a hard target. or maybe you are right.
the anglo saxons will drown in a red sea of their own filthy arrogance. yemen is a nation of brave warriors. no western dirty money, cheap yiddish tricks or degeneracy can corrupt pure souls
