KernowDamo: Following strikes on Ben Gurion Airport, the Houthis of Yemen might have done something so clever, they needn't fire another rocket...
Right, so with the Gaza ceasefire having ended, with Israel committing atrocities throughout Gaza, so it is that not only have the Houthis of Yemen resumed their blockade of the Red Sea and almost a full week now of strikes on US warships in response to airstrikes they have committed in Yemen, but they have also resumed their nightly rocket attacks on Israel, in solidarity with the people of Gaza, resuming the strikes they were enacting before the ceasefire, sending the Jews scattering for the safety of shelters, disturbing their sleep, causing maximum disturbance as their rockets invariably get taken out, by Israel regime defences, either by accident or design, the Houthis always claim their aims have been achieved whether their rockets land or not, implying the disturbance is the aim most of all.
The other day I covered the strike on Ben Gurion airport though, a civilian target in Tel Aviv, one they have targeted before, there was much coverage debating whether or not the airport was actually hit as it got shut down, though this was later found to be as a result of debris as the rocket was once again intercepted. It seems to have given the Houthis a bit of inspiration though. They are already causing a blockade by sea, they are causing chaos over land, but now the plan is to interfere with Israel by air too it seems and what they’ve come up with, might just be a stroke of genius. Right, so the ongoing genocide of Gaza by Israel took a dramatic turn over the last week, with the resumption of rocket fire over Israel by the Houthi movement in Yemen, who, following their strike on Ben Gurion airport several days ago has now declared the Tel Aviv airport unsafe for international flights going forwards. It’s a clever move, they don’t actually have to fire another rocket at the airport, because they’ve proven they can reach it and so by telling international airlines that fly to Tel Aviv its not safe for them to do so, having demonstrated exactly why, who’s keen to test them?
The Houthis’ actions here are explicitly aimed at inflicting economic damage on Israel in response to their genocide of Gaza, tourism a large part of Israel’s economy and one that has suffered badly as a result of their actions in Gaza, an economy that is in dire straits, with investors pulling out of business dealings, IDF reservists constantly being called up has been seeing small and medium sized businesses collapse and other businesspeople selling up and getting out of the country whilst they can, with other people shifting their finances and their pensions outside of Israel as their own currency tanks. Hitting Israel in the pocket, rather than literally with a rocket, is a stroke of genius and the hub that is Ben Gurion airport, being threatened with a strike at any time and aimed at airlines too, could be their most damaging attack yet and they may not need to to ever fire another rocket at the airport if it puts enough people off flying there.
