Peace in the Middle East has been a seemingly unachievable dream for a long time. The money the Biden administration is foolishly sending to Iran is being used to fund terrorism and destabilize the region. Israel has finally had enough. It would have been nice if the Biden administration had supported them in their fight against the terrorism that threatens the entire world, but the Biden administration is either very short-sighted or on the wrong side of history. Take your pick.
Israel seems to be willing to do the job that western countries who say they care about peace should have done.
On Sunday, The Times of Israel reported:
The IDF confirms launching airstrikes against the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen a short while ago.
…The strikes targeted sites used by the Houthi regime for military purposes at Hodeidah and the nearby Ras Isa port in western Yemen, the IDF says.
“The IDF attacked power plants and a port, which are used to import oil. Through the targeted infrastructure and ports, the Houthi regime transfers Iranian weapons to the region, and supplies for military purposes, including oil,” the military says.
The IDF says the strikes were carried out in response to the Houthis recent ballistic missile attacks on Israel, including three this month.
The western nations have not been successful in securing the shipping lanes in the area of Yemen. Hopefully the efforts by Israel will be helpful.
Israel is doing the job of fighting terrorism in the Middle East that the civilized countries of the world should have done years ago. Hopefully western countries will join them in this effort–better late than never.
