The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on September 14 that its forces targeted three drones and a support vehicle of the Iran-backed Houthis (Ansar Allah) in Yemen a day earlier.
The systems presented “an imminent threat to U.S. and coalition forces, and merchant vessels in the region,” the command said in a statement.
It added that its forces took action “to protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure for U.S., coalition, and merchant vessels.”
The CENTCOM didn’t provide any details about the targeted drones, or clarify in which part of Yemen they were struck. Furthermore, Houthi-run media didn’t reports any strikes by the U.S. or its allies against Yemen on September 13 or 14.
The Houthis targeted over the last ten months dozens of vessels affiliated with Israel or owned by the U.S. and the United Kingdom In the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea in response to the Israeli war on the Palestinian enclave of the Gaza Strip. The group’s air defenses also shot down at least nine American-made combat drones over Yemen and nearby waters.
During the same period, the Houthis launched from Yemen more than 200 ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and suicide drones at Israel, mostly toward the Red Sea port city of Eilat in the south, according to the Israeli military.
The U.S. and the UK have carried out hundreds of strikes against Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen since January. Israel also launched an attack against the Red Sea port of al-Hodeidah last month after a deadly Houthi drone strike on the city of Tel Aviv.
The strikes inflicted some losses on the Houthis and even claimed the lives of many civilians. Still, they failed to deter the group.

hamas/ hezbollah/ houthis have stood like a rock against the zios and their amerikunt backers. they are the rock on which imperialism, racism and apartheid have foundered.
you’re damn right!
they don’t need propaganda, fake news channels, or cheap speaking. their actions speak for them.
try living under their rule. for a start white christians, to them, are heathen infidel dogs unfit to live you fool.
funny thing, that’s ecactly how our g19 countries have treated white christians since as far back as 1995, when most of them enacted ‘equality’ laws that were in essence, collective punishment of so-called whites for employment, thus rendering their university education useless due to corporate and government hiring discrimination and predjudice. stockholm syndrome much?
there is no such hate in true believers. only ignorants will fall prey for this lie.
that’s the same propaganda you zionists try to sow discord between god fearing people to create hate.
but this time you eat your own filrh and believe in your own lies.
maybe they should bomb ancient christian churches like the zios do in gaza.
operation “enduring freedom” is like most us operations, to ‘protect’ the priveledge of israeli genocide where ever and when ever they want to commit it. no wonder the us zionists are seeking to murder the dissenting american population and replace them with willing cartel thugs that are no longer viable cia operatives in their former latin american or african countries.
