Houthis fired surface-to-air missiles at US fighter jets in first attack of its kind
Story by Melanie Marich • 10h

Yemen’s Houthi rebels fired surface-to-air missiles at a US fighter jet over the Red Sea in the first attack of its kind, Fox News reported Saturday.

U.S. military officials are describing the launch as a significant escalation in the Iran-backed group’s ongoing conflict with Israel’s allies in the war with Gaza.

The missile fired at the American warplane did not hit its target, according to the report.
 
The F-16 fighter was flying over the Red Sea when the Houthis fired surface-to-air missiles targeting the jet, which was flying outside of rebel-controlled areas of Yemen.

Senior U.S. military officials told Fox this was the first time the Houthis fired SAMs at an American F-16.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
