The hardened Houthi rebel force can’t be deterred without risky and costly U.S. escalations.

Over the past three months, the Houthis have attacked merchant ships passing through the Red Sea, an unexpected military intervention aimed at forcing Israel to end its U.S.-backed offensive in Gaza and allow aid into the besieged territory.

    Why was this downvoted? The intercept is a very reliable source.

      I don’t know. I have posted a few articles regarding the Houthis, mostly from Israeli media sources and they always get downvoted. I continue to post them because I think it’s important news and could lead to a widening of the conflict in the region.

        Please keep it up. But consider the source. Theres a few good Israeli news orgs, but they’re mostly cowards that are just spreading disinformation

        972 is a great outlet

          I have used Jpost, Haaratz, and Mondoweiss. All of them are pretty good sources. I think people just don’t wanna hear about the Houthis

            Mondoweiss is US American, not Israeli. They’re a great, credible source though.

            Don’t use jpost. That’s a trash conservative paper
