The UK and the US struck 13 Houthi targets in several locations in Yemen on Thursday in response to a recent surge in attacks by the Iran-backed militia group on ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, three US officials said.

The Houthi rebels said the airstrikes killed at least 16 people and wounded 35.

American and British fighter jets and US ships hit a wide range of underground facilities, missile launchers, command and control sites, a Houthi vessel and other facilities, according to US sources.

    Especially if they’re also attacking American and British ships. No way are the U.S. and the U.K. going to change their allegiances over people trying to sink their ships if they’re near Yemen.

      Of course they will. Economic pressure is the only thing they care about.

      If the money dried up and the billionaires get big mad they will abandon israel.

        Unless you lost a /s there, the billionaires will continue to earn money. It’s the rest of us getting hit with the cost.
