That drone Scared the Israeli State sh*tl*ss.

They reacted as predicted, To be sure.

The Houthis have more Grit in the face of War than Israel. More Courage.

More practice being the targets of enemies with Air Superiority.

They aren't afraid.

It's strange to see this kind of persistence in people who know exactly what they're getting themselves into.

Half a million killed in the past decade by Saudi and American weapons and starvation.

Israel cries about losing the right to buy "Ben and Jerry's" ice cream, like that's a Civil Right or something.

Jarring Contrast in Fortitude under Stress.

#1 you are a buffoon. The Houthis are weaklings, nothing but proxies, aka useful idiots. They will go the way of Al Qaeda and ISIS. Cavemen trying to do battle in the 21st century. Defeat guaranteed ...

Just keep telling yourself that. If it makes you feel better.

Repeat it enough and it might come true.

Houthis promise 'no red lines' in response to Israeli attack

... Mohammed Abdulsalam, the head spokesman for Yemen's Houthi movement, promised Sunday that there are "no red lines" in the response by the Yemeni armed faction to an attack carried out by the U.S.-backed Israel.

Israel sent F-15 jet fighters to strike the port city of Hodeidah, killing several people and injuring dozens of others, on Saturday.

The situation has uniquely led the Houthis and the internationally recognized government of Yemen, which are two factions fighting each other amid Yemen's decade-long civil war, to blast the "terrorist" attack in similar terms, a sign of possible Yemeni solidarity. ...

The drone was apparently flown along the Egyptian border, and could be repeated in a variety of ways.

It is presumed the target was the ex-US consulate, which is now in Jerusalem thanks to Trump.

Most damage was glass from windows.

Civilian infrastructure was not targeted.

Israel responded by obliterating a Yemen civilian oil depot.

Imo, Israel policy of escalation response is their narrow horizon.

Israel is paranoid to the extreme and violently expansionist.

That's why people fight them so much.
