Houthis threaten US with repercussions after Red Sea strike killed 10 rebels

https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/houthis-threaten-us-with-repercussions-after-red-sea-strike-killed-10-rebels/

Following a US strike today on three boats carrying Houthi gunmen in the Red Sea, in which 10 fighters were killed, after they allegedly attacked and tried to board a container ship, the Yemeni rebel group threatens the US with “consequences,” vowing that it will continue to assault ships with connections to Israel or that are sailing towards Israeli ports.

Yahya Saree, the Houthi military spokesperson, says in a video statement that his Iran-backed forces have been acting in support of Palestinians and carrying out their “religious, moral and humanitarian duty” in support of Gaza. He calls on other countries not to “engage in the dangerous American behavior,” or else they will face consequences.

The spokesman urges all Yemenis, Arabs, and Muslims to be “vigilant and prepared for all options to confront the American escalation” in support of the “Zionist entity.”

*************************************************************************************************

The Houthis will destroy more American munitions with their boats and bodies.

The world needs a vaccine for willful stupidity and another one for arrogant entitlement.

any more so than Hamas cares about Palestine.

But they do a damn fine job of fooling westerners.
