YEMEN

EDITORS—Suicide drones, as they are known, are a relatively modern weapon, posing significant challenges even for technologically advanced states like the US and Israel. These drones vary in range, warhead size, speed, and guidance methods.

Analysis of the wreckage revealed that the “Yaffa” drone, an enhanced version of Yemen’s Sammad drones, was employed in the operation. The name is deeply symbolic as it references the ancient port city of Jaffa, also known as Yaffa in Arabic, which now forms part of modern-day Tel Aviv.

GEORGE GALLOWAY—One of my earliest memories was watching Scottish soldiers murdering Yemenis in the Crater district of Aden. We’ve been trying for hundreds of years to vanquish them, unsuccessfully.

SAQR ABO HASAN—Over the years, and especially today, Yemeni tribes in the northern regions – where the Houthi clan is based – have evolved into an “inexhaustible reservoir of fighters,” embodying a formidable force that can be mobilized under the right political and social conditions.

As Yemeni writer Ali Abdullah al-Dhayani points out, these particular Yemeni tribes are “natural warriors, as their men – and even women in some areas – carry weapons as part of daily life.”

CAITLIN JOHNSTONE—Losing an election costs Democratic party leaders nothing; all the career politicians and political operatives at the top keep their careers either way. From their point of view this is just a cushy job with sweet benefits, and they keep those win or lose. And obviously Biden himself doesn’t care; he’ll have a comfortable retirement regardless of the outcome in November, and on some level he’s surely aware that it’s nuts for a dementia patient to be in the White House anyway.

If the Democrats cared about getting your vote they’d be trying hard to earn it. They’re not trying because they don’t care.

FIORELLA ISABEL (Transcribed) —Welcome to the channel. Ever since Israel began its Siege of Gaza on October 7th bringing in death and destruction to nearly 27,000 people (now estmated at 35,000) including women and children, they have also been targeting nearby resistance areas and groups in other nations like in Lebanon Syria and of course Iran. Well this has all gotten a little bit more complicated since Yemen actually took on the role of protecting Palestinians in a way that uh others have not done in terms of attacking Israel’s economic sector and with it of course its Western patrons…like the United States and others, specifically by blocking these ships.
