The U.S. military early Saturday struck another Houthi-controlled site in Yemen that it had determined was putting commercial vessels in the Red Sea at risk, a day after the U.S. and Britain launched multiple airstrikes targeting Houthi rebels.

Associated Press journalists in Sanaa, Yemen’s capital, heard one loud explosion.

U.S. Central Command said the “follow-on action” early Saturday local time against a Houthi radar site was conducted by the Navy destroyer USS Carney using Tomahawk land attack missiles.

The first day of strikes Friday hit 28 locations and struck more than 60 targets. President Joe Biden had warned Friday that the Houthis could face further strikes.

Oh no, now a group of Saudis will box cutters are going to hijack some planes.

Or not. Houthis have less power today than AQ did in 2001.

1. No, they have more power than AQ did

Most of the Yemeni population lives in areas under Houthi control. As well as Sanaa and the north of Yemen, the Houthis control the Red Sea coastline.

The group collects taxes and also prints money.

The UN Security Council said that by 2010 the Houthis had between 100,000 and 120,000 followers, made up of armed troops and unarmed supporters.

2. Houthis are ISIS with cruise missiles and ballistic missiles

They need to be dead.

4. And, yet, the Biden administration revoked their terrorist designation in 2021

I understand it was to try and stem the humanitarian crisis that was going on there, but terrorists are going to commit acts of terror and the Houthis are just showing their inability to act in a civil manner on the world stage.
