Netanyahu Ordered Israeli Airstrikes on Yemen Mid-Flight to U.S | OP 'Black Flag' Secrets Revealed [Video]

Netanyahu Ordered Israeli Airstrikes on Yemen Mid-Flight to U.S | OP 'Black Flag' Secrets Revealed

In a dramatic and unprecedented move, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved major airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen while flying to the United States aboard the “Wing of Zion” aircraft. According to the PM’s office, Netanyahu received critical operational updates and gave the final go-ahead for "Operation Black Flag" while en route to Washington for a high-stakes meeting with Donald Trump. The operation was launched in response to continuous missile attacks by the Iran-backed Houthis on Israel. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed that the strikes, involving 20 fighter jets, targeted key Houthi infrastructure, ports in Hudaydah, and the Galaxy Leader ship, which was seized by the Houthis in 2023. The coordinated attack is being described as a major blow to the Houthi rebels. The Houthis have responded swiftly and fiercely. While their media outlets confirmed the Israeli strikes, they retaliated by launching a massive wave of missiles towards Israel, triggering air defense systems across the country. In a claim that has created serious panic, RT News reported that at least one of the Houthi missiles successfully hit its target inside Israel. This sudden escalation opens a dangerous new front in the Middle East, coming only weeks after a fragile ceasefire was established between Israel and Iran. With Israel now engaged in a direct, full-blown conflict with the Houthis in Yemen, the entire region is on high alert for what happens next. #Israel #Yemen #Houthi #IDF #MissileStrike #MiddleEastConflict #IsraelDefenseForces #HouthiMissiles #IsraelVsHouthi #MissileAlert #RedAlert #Hebron #EinGedi #DeadSea #WestBank #IsraelUnderAttack #IsraelNews #IranCeasefire #MilitaryStrike #IsraelKatz #Gaza #Iran #SaudiArabia #RTNews #BreakingNews #MissileDefense #IsraelUpdates #MiddleEastWar #WarNews #DefenseNews #LiveUpdates ~ED.103~HT.408~GR.124~

Explained: Why IDF Never Used Hypersonic Missiles on Iran & Yemen| Unbelievable Details [Video]

Explained: Why IDF Never Used Hypersonic Missiles on Iran & Yemen| Unbelievable Details

Following the Israeli Air Force's (IAF) massive 'Operation Black Flag' air campaign across Yemen, a significant question has emerged: With global powers like Russia, China, and North Korea racing to deploy hypersonic missiles, why does Israel, a military powerhouse, continue to rely on conventional fighter jets? This report delves into the core of Israel's military doctrine to uncover the answer. The analysis reveals that Israel's strategic decision is not a sign of weakness, but a calculated choice based on its unique geopolitical reality. The IAF's elite fleet, including advanced F-15, F-16, and F-35 fighter jets, offers unparalleled flexibility and precision for striking nearby threats in Gaza, Yemen, or Iran. Unlike hypersonic missiles, which are designed for targets thousands of kilometers away, jets allow for real-time target adjustments, significantly reducing collateral damage against groups like the Houthis. This adaptability was proven during the 2025 strikes on Iranian sites. #Israel #IAF #IsraeliAirForce #HypersonicMissile #IsraelMilitaryStrategy #Israel #Yemen #Houthi #IDF #MissileStrike #MiddleEastConflict #IsraelDefenseForces #HouthiMissiles #IsraelVsHouthi #MissileAlert #RedAlert #Hebron #EinGedi #DeadSea #WestBank #IsraelUnderAttack #IsraelNews #IranCeasefire #MilitaryStrike #IsraelKatz Also Read Israel PM Netanyahu Faces Anger, And Tears In First Visit To Nir Oz Since Oct 7 Gaza Massacre :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/benjamin-netanyahu-visits-nir-oz-kibbutz-near-gaza-strip-011-7791019.html?ref=DMDesc Iran Casts Doubt on Israel's Ceasefire Commitment, Warns of Retaliation :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-casts-doubt-on-israels-ceasefire-commitment-warns-of-retaliation-011-7786853.html?ref=DMDesc 'You Got Beat To Hell': Donald Trump On Iran's Victory Claim :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/you-got-beat-to-hell-donald-trump-on-irans-victory-claim-7785327.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.102~HT.408~GR.124~

'Crush Them, Strike Iran...': Netanyahu Arrives in U.S After Launching War on Houthis |Op Black Flag

Just hours after launching the massive "Operation Black Flag" airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu departs for Washington to meet with President Donald Trump. In his statement before leaving, Netanyahu reaffirmed his mission: to crush Hamas, confront Iran and Hezbollah, bring all hostages home, and ensure Gaza will never again threaten Israel. This marks his third meeting with Trump since the 2024 elections — a critical moment for U.S.-Israel coordination as regional tensions boil over. With fire raining on the Red Sea and new alliances forming, Netanyahu’s visit could reshape the Middle East — militarily and diplomatically. #Netanyahu #OperationBlackFlag #IsraelUSAlliance #MiddleEastWar #Hamas #Iran #Hezbollah #RedSeaCrisis #IDF #BreakingNews #IsraelDefenseForces #USIsrael #HostageCrisis #GazaWar #TrumpNetanyahu #YemenStrikes

Trump & Netanyahu Discuss New Ways of 'THROWING' Gazans out of Palestine at White House Dinner

On July 7, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House for a private dinner, where they discussed a controversial proposal to relocate Palestinians from Gaza. The plan, dubbed the "free choice" initiative, suggests that Palestinians could choose to leave Gaza for other countries. Netanyahu emphasized that Israel and the U.S. are working with other nations to offer Palestinians a "better future." However, neighboring countries like Egypt and Jordan have firmly rejected the idea, citing concerns over regional stability and sovereignty. This proposal has sparked widespread criticism, with many viewing it as a form of ethnic cleansing disguised as a humanitarian solution. #Trump #Netanyahu #Gaza #Palestinians #RelocationPlan #MiddleEast #InternationalLaw #HumanRights #EthnicCleansing #PeaceProcess

Galaxy Leader Destroyed in Israeli Strike—Ship Used by Houthis to Mock IDF Finally Reduced to Rubble [Video]

Galaxy Leader Destroyed in Israeli Strike—Ship Used by Houthis to Mock IDF Finally Reduced to Rubble

In a dramatic escalation, the Israeli Air Force launched a precision night raid targeting the Houthi-controlled Galaxy Leader cargo ship — a vessel seized in 2023 and used as a propaganda symbol by Yemen’s Houthi forces. The IDF says the ship was repurposed for surveillance and terror coordination in the Red Sea, following the year-long captivity of 25 international crew members. This strike was part of Israel’s broader retaliation campaign under "Operation Black Flag" against Houthi infrastructure. Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that any tool used to threaten Israeli citizens would be eliminated — and this ship was no exception. Footage shows the Galaxy Leader engulfed in flames as Israeli fighter jets dropped dozens of munitions across western Yemen, including ports and power stations. The Red Sea is now a live combat zone, and the message from Israel is clear: No more warnings. #GalaxyLeader #IDFStrike #IsraelVsHouthis #RedSeaConflict #OperationBlackFlag #MiddleEastCrisis #HouthiRebels #IsraelDefenseForces #BreakingNews #Airstrike #MilitaryAction #HostageCrisis #YemenConflict #IranProxy #NavalWarfare

Red Sea Erupts Again: Houthis Launch DRONE BOAT STRIKES on Cargo Ship | U.S, UK on High Alert

Yemen’s Houthis have resumed deadly attacks on Red Sea shipping lanes, using armed men and drone boats in a major escalation. A vessel traveling near Hodeida was struck Sunday by two drone boats, while others were destroyed by onboard security. Over 100 ships have been targeted since 2023, disrupting the $1 trillion trade route. The U.S. is monitoring the situation. The Houthi-run Al-Masirah outlet acknowledged the attack, but no group has claimed responsibility. Tensions are rising as missile launches and maritime violence continue across the region. #RedSeaCrisis #HouthiAttacks #DroneBoat #ShippingSecurity #MaritimeAttack #MiddleEastTensions #YemenWar #GlobalTrade #RedSeaDanger #ShippingRoutes #Houthis #USCENTCOM #Hodeida #NavalSecurity #MaritimeNews #GlobalSecurity #TradeWar #MissileThreat #ShipAttack #TankerSecurity #DroneStrike #NavalTensions #CommercialShipping #SeaLaneSecurity #WarzoneWaters #HouthiViolence Also Read Israeli Airstrike Targets Secret Houthi Meeting In Yemen's Capital Sanaa: Reports :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israeli-airstrike-targets-secret-houthi-meeting-in-yemens-capital-sanaa-reports-4181983.html?ref=DMDesc Missile from Yemen Disrupts Flights in Israel Ahead of Key Vote on Gaza War :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/missile-from-yemen-disrupts-flights-in-israel-ahead-of-key-vote-on-gaza-war-4143509.html?ref=DMDesc US and Iran-Backed Houthis Commit to Escalation Following Airstrikes Targeting Yemen Rebels :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-iran-backed-houthis-escalation-airstrikes-yemen-011-4096567.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~

Turkey’s Big WARNING Against Israel Amid Attack On Houthis | BRICS Summit Boils Over Israel? [Video]

Turkey’s Big WARNING Against Israel Amid Attack On Houthis | BRICS Summit Boils Over Israel?

At the 17th BRICS Summit in Rio, Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan delivered a chilling warning: Israel’s unchecked aggression could spiral into global instability. Fidan accused Tel Aviv of reversing decades of development through its war in Gaza and said multilateral institutions are now facing a legitimacy crisis. He called on the international community to act before it’s too late. His warning came amid growing BRICS concerns over AI weaponization, global peace, and economic fairness. Fidan alleged that Israel has used artificial intelligence as a tool of warfare, fueling unrest from Gaza to Yemen. With over 57,000 dead in Gaza and rising tensions across Lebanon, Syria, and Iran, BRICS leaders are urging urgent reforms. The summit, already focused on AI governance and peacekeeping, now confronts the fallout of Israel’s regional ambitions and the West’s blind eye. #BRICS2025 #IsraelGazaWar #TurkeyWarning #HakanFidan #AIWarfare #GlobalCrisis #GazaGenocide #MiddleEastWar #BRICSSummit #ArtificialIntelligence #Multilateralism #GlobalSecurity #PalestineCrisis #IranRetaliation #USIsraelAlliance #GlobalSouth #Geopolitics #WarCrimes #AIWeapons #IsraelExpansionism ~HT.410~ED.420~GR.124~

Houthis Hypersonic Hellfire: Tel-Aviv Ben Gurion Airport Hit | Chaos & Panic Grips Tel-Aviv | VIDEO

In a dramatic escalation, Yemen’s Armed Forces have claimed responsibility for a massive drone and missile assault targeting key Israeli infrastructure, including Ben Gurion Airport, Ashdod Port, and the Eilat Port. Yemeni military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree confirmed the use of the indigenous ‘Palestine 2’ hypersonic missile and locally built UAVs in retaliation against Israeli strikes on Yemen and in solidarity with Gaza. The strike forced Israel to shut down its primary international airport, with sirens sounding across the Dead Sea area. The Yemeni Armed Forces declared their readiness for prolonged confrontation and reiterated a vow to continue strategic blockades and attacks until Israel halts its Gaza offensive. With over 57,000 Palestinians dead since October 2023, the operation underscores a widening regional war and a unified resistance front across West Asia. Israeli interceptors reportedly failed to stop the attacks, raising serious concerns about defense gaps. #YemenMissileStrike #BenGurionHit #Palestine2Missile #IsraelUnderAttack #GazaWar #HypersonicMissile #YemenIsraelConflict #EilatAttack #AshdodPortStrike #DroneWarfare #YahyaSaree #MiddleEastTensions #BRICSResponse #TelAvivUnderFire #AirstrikeOnIsrael #GazaBlockade #IsraelYemenTensions #RedSeaCrisis #ResistanceFront #MissileWarning ~ED.420~HT.408~GR.125~
