Why it matters:
These remarks confirm that fleeing has become the only option for Americans in the face of Yemeni threats, amid the failure of both American and Zionist interception systems to protect them.
The big picture:
Since the start of Israel’s war on Gaza in October 2023, Yemen has launched a series of missile and drone attacks targeting Israeli interests in solidarity with the Palestinian people. These operations have included strikes on Israeli cities and infrastructure, as well as maritime disruptions in the Red Sea aimed at Israeli-linked vessels.
The Yemeni Armed Forces claim these operations are part of a broader campaign to pressure Israel into ending its siege on Gaza and halting its military aggression.
What he's saying:
US Ambassador Mike Huckabee confirmed in statements to Fox News on Tuesday that Yemeni operations against Israel are intensifying, spreading fear and danger throughout the occupied territories.
“No one is safe from the attacks coming from Yemen—they’re happening everywhere and almost daily.”
“We are forced to enter shelters every day or every other day because of the missiles coming from Yemen.”
He explained that those fleeing from Yemeni attacks “have only 90 seconds to reach the shelters, whether we’re in the embassy building or at my residence.” He continued, saying: “When the sirens go off, we are forced to evacuate the embassy and move all staff to the shelter.”
“One night, I was at the Mossad in a meeting with the director, and as soon as we heard the sirens, we immediately entered the shelter.”
Go deepen:
The effectiveness and frequency of Yemeni operations have overwhelmed traditional missile defense systems and forced even high-security facilities ,such as embassies and intelligence headquarters, to take shelter repeatedly.
These developments mark a significant shift in the strategic landscape of the region, expanding the battlefield beyond Gaza and Lebanon to include the Arabian Peninsula, and raising questions about the durability of US-Israeli deterrence and defense capabilities.
