US warship that intercepted drones and missiles near the coast of Yemen on Thursday encountered a larger and more sustained barrage than was previously known, shooting down 4 cruise missiles and 15 drones over a period of 9 hours, according to a US official familiar with the situation.
The USS Carney, an Arleigh-Burke class destroyer that traversed the Suez Canal heading south on Wednesday, intercepted the missiles and drones as they were heading north along the Red Sea. Their trajectory left little doubt that the projectiles were headed for Israel, the official said, a clearer assessment than the Pentagon’s initial take.
A sustained barrage of drones and missiles targeting Israel from far outside the Gaza conflict is one of a series of worrying signs that the war risks escalating beyond the borders of the coastal enclave.
People like the person you respond to are absolutely biased and don’t give equal reactions to this situation, their original comment is brain dead af too as tensions are absolutely still rising and they will continue to rise as surrounding nations watch and consider joining the conflict. They are clearly anti-IDF, which is very understandable, you can see emotion dripping from every sentence lol. Fuckin moron.
With that said, “this wouldn’t have happened if Hamas…” bit is way the fuck off course. Israel fomented this situation over the many many years of Palestinian persecution. Yes these two nations have never been friends and the original placement of Israel there was always problematic as fuck, but Israel’s actions are a main reason of Hamas’ existence and motivations.
Palestinian oppression did not begin in 2006 with the rise of Hamas like you imply. Hamas is a disgusting piece of shit terrorist group hit they are not the sole or original cause of tension and hatred between these groups.
Pushing reductive narratives helps no one, and in that regard you are as guilty as the emotional moron you replied to.
