On Friday, Houthi insurgents announced their "largest naval operation" aimed at halting the progress of US Navy guided-missile destroyers headed for Israel.

Despite claims by the Yemen-based militants of hitting one of the ships, military officials have refuted this, stating no vessels were damaged.

Houthi forces launched a total of twenty-three ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones, reports the Express US.

Well what would USA do if a bunch of yemeni warships sailed to the cost of New York in order to support a genocide of christians?

It's really fantastical to imagine this kind of madness from anywhere but USA.

Twenty three launches total and only one hit? I get that a destroyer ship in the sea is a small target, but that seems kind of so-so

I'm guessing the destroyers are doing something beyond just than praying they don't get hit.

Well naturally, but given that some months ago US Navy itself was complaining about the difficulties they had intercepting Yemeni drones and having to resort to expensive missiles - well perhaps they were just being emotional
