My position on the attack in Yemen:

The attack is impressive, complex, damaged energy facilities and will paralyze maritime transport capabilities, as Doron Kadosh wrote.

I still think that the nature of the Houthis' attacks does not match the nature of the Israeli response, and hence a frustrating gap is growing. Israel is not addressing the cognitive dimension, which is the leading dimension of the Houthis' attacks, and there is no serious commitment to it.

The Houthis can, with one missile (which probably won't reach its target), wake up half of the State of Israel and then announce in the morning that they will continue to do so (and so it will be).

There is no real danger to the lives of civilians in Israel as a result of the Houthi shooting. There is mainly psychological terror and harassment (along with the paralysis of the Eilat port).

Israel's complex attacks on Yemen using fighter jets with significant advance preparation are a "heavy event" and therefore occur at large intervals, unlike the Houthis who can easily launch missles several times a week.

Alongside the complex attacks, Israel needs to activate an immediate, reflexive response mechanism with a clear and known "price list."

This is how it could look:
Dear Houthi, the next missile launched from Yemen towards Israel will activate the new mechanism and you will have an hour to evacuate the parliament compound, as 5 ballistic missiles will hit it exactly one hour after the alert was activated in Israel.

With the missile you launch next, the mechanism will be activated again, and an hour later, missiles will land on Sana'a airport.

Next target: the parliament building.
The next targets: government offices...and more and more.

Thus, the Houthis are effectively holding the trigger for destroying the symbols of their own rule. And from the IDF's perspective, there is no need for special operations and weeks of preparation.

Such a solution is perceived by the Arab world as easier and simpler - Israel makes no effort at all. A launch for a launch.
It's also really humane - there is an hour's evacuation warning and, as mentioned, the activation button is in the hands of the Houthis.
That Yemen's "Arrow" systems will try to cope...

Israel calls (again) on the Iranian people to rise up against the regime

Following Prime Minister Netanyahu's recent remarks to the Iranian people, which were intended, among other things, to provoke popular protest against the regime, yesterday Israel's Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, addressed the Iranian people in Persian and called on Iranian citizens to take action now and not miss the historic opportunity before them.

Meanwhile, in Gaza City... the intensity of the attacks at night is measured by the vibrations of the plastic wrap used as a window...

And not just in Gaza.

This is what a Lebanese Shiite woman who does not support Hezbollah wrote last night:

People cannot afford to repair the windows and doors, and they use plastic wrap because compensation is delayed.

Residents in the villages of southern Lebanon do not leave their homes after 7:00 PM because these are Avichai's instructions.

People left Lebanon for Iraq on "free transportation" and now they are stranded there, asking for help to get out of Iraq and back to Lebanon.

And what do the supporters of this axis do?
They set up fictitious accounts on social media and threaten any Shiite who doesn't think like them...

The Houthis accept responsibility for launching two missiles at Israel and promise to continue

Yahya Saree, the military spokesman for the Houthis in Yemen, officially announced that the Houthis launched two "Palestine 2" hypersonic missiles at Israel tonight, targeting two high-quality and sensitive military targets in the "occupied Jaffa" area (perhaps they were targeting the Gaza Strip😁 -AA).
According to him, the operation successfully achieved its goals (I don't argue with him on that - AA).

Saree added: "The operation was carried out in parallel with the Israeli aggression on civilian facilities in Sana'a and Hodeidah and is a natural and legitimate response to this aggression."
Israeli aggression will not prevent the Yemeni people from fulfilling their moral duty in the face of the massacres in Gaza.
"We will continue firmly."

Saree actually claims that the missile launch tonight is a response to the Israeli attack on Yemen, even before the planes reached their destination.
Someone must have told them the planes were on their way...

The time has come for the residents of Sana'a to get to know Avichai Adraee and his evacuation warnings.

Hamas' military wing spokesman, Abu Obaida, decided that the Houthis' launch tonight was important enough for him to tweet a few lines. After all, this is about the only front still active in support of Gaza...

Abu Obaida congratulates the Houthis on the launch and condemns the Israeli attack on Yemen.

Yemen: The Haziz power station in northern Sanaa was attacked last night by Israeli warplanes.

Syria: Rebels prepare the infamous green buses to bring back the 2,000 Assad soldiers who fled to Iraq after the fall of the regime.

These green buses were used by the Assad regime to exile the rebels themselves from the provinces that the regime captured from the rebels in recent years.

As the wheel turns...
The rebels are relishing the event...

Iranian MP Alireza Zakani on the rapid devaluation of the Iranian currency:

Even in the poorest countries in Africa, the currency does not collapse like ours. It is unacceptable that the central bank does not control the exchange rate.

##
As a reminder, the gap between the representative exchange rate set by the Central Bank of Iran and the actual exchange rate at money changers is 18 cents - to the detriment of the Iranian currency.

Lebanon: Distribution of checks on behalf of Hezbollah's Good Loan Association to Lebanese whose homes were destroyed in the war.

The computers at the bank are working, but the branch looks narrower and more crowded than usual and there are no windows.

During the war, the IDF attacked all branches of Hezbollah's Good Loan Association throughout Lebanon.

The Islamic Economic Conference in Cairo:
Like after a game of chess... Turkish President Erdogan, the big winner in overthrowing the Assad regime in Syria, shakes with feigned warmth the hands of the president of the country that lost big in Syria - Iran.

In the background, PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas serves as a backdrop...

If only it were possible to see what was really going through Erdogan's mind at that moment...

IDF: Overnight (Thursday), a missile was fired from Yemen toward Israeli territory. Following an initial inquiry by the IAF, and an examination of the findings at the scene of impact at a school in Ramat Efal in central Israel, it is likely that the damage was caused by partial interception of the missile launched from Yemen and that the missile warhead was the part that exploded and damaged the school.

Security forces are looking into damage caused by falling shrapnel in additional areas.

The IAF and the Home Front Command are investigating the matter. Once the investigation is complete, the findings will be made available to the public.
