U.S., Britain strike Houthi targets in Yemen

Oct. 5 (UPI) -- The United States and Britain conducted joint naval and air strikes against 15 Houthi targets in Yemen.

The joint operation Friday targeted Houthi offensive capabilities after the militant group targeted more than 100 ships, sank two and hijacked another in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden in support of Hamas following the Oct. 7 attack on Israel.

U.S. and British warships and aircraft targeted military outposts, including five Houthi compounds, and at least one airport in Yemen.

U.S. Central Command controls U.S. forces and military operations in the Middle East and said the strikes occurred at 5 p.m. local time.

I know this was reported here, but I didn't know that Britain was also involved.
Britain is perhaps our most steadfast ally and I'm glad to see them stepping up to the plate to defend freedom of navigation ops in conjunction with US forces around the world.

Just the answer I expected from you.
Look, you and I will never, ever agree on this issue, and I accept that, but I will always call you out on this, please don't take it personally, I certainly don't, what is said on a chat board really has no bearing on real life.

This is DU, where a wide range of opinions are expressed, for or against issues.
I certainly wouldn't want to impinge on your right to express your opinion, and I wouldn't want you to impinge on my right to do the same, and I haven't seen you do that at all.
Peace out
Dan.
Have a great Sunday and the upcoming week.

The Houthi are attacking international shipping & firing missiles at Israel because who is trying to "steal their land & resources"?
