Three suicide drone launched from Yemen by the Houthis (Ansar Allah) were intercepted over southern Israel on September 8, with at least one of them reaching an area where the Dimona nuclear reactor is located.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said that one of the drones was intercepted over Ramon International Airport, which was hit a day earlier by a Houthi suicide drone. Sirens sounded in the airport area amid the new attack and the launch of several interceptors was reported.
The second drone set off sirens in the southern settlement of Dimona, where the reactor is located. The military said that the drone was shot down. However, smoke was seen rising from a nearby area.
The Dimona reactor, officially known as the Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research Center, is the cornerstone of Israel’s undeclared nuclear weapons program.

A third drone was intercepted with no sirens activated, “according to protocol,” the IDF said, implying that it was downed before it could threaten any targets on the ground.
On September 7, the Houthis announced that they had attacked targets in Israel with eight suicide drones. Only one hit Ramon International Airport, lighting wounding a man. Three others were intercepted by the IDF along the border with Egypt. The fate of the remaining four remains unclear.
The Houthis have stepped up missile and drone attacks on Israel since August 28, when Israeli strikes hit Yemeni capital, Sanaa, killing the Prime Minister of the group’s government, Ahmed al-Rahawi, along with eight of the ministers.
However, the group’s recent drone attacks are also a response to the Israeli escalation in the Gaza Strip, where a large-scale offensive is expected to start soon.
Israel, which has already carried out 16 attacks against Yemen, will likely respond to the Houthis’ latest attacks. However, there is nothing the IDF can do that could deter the group, which has already survived hundreds of strikes not only by Israel, but also by the United States and the United Kingdom.
Only a ground offensive in Yemen could at least distract the Houthis. And while the U.S. have reportedly considered such an option with the forces of the internationally-recognized Yemeni government, this is not expected to happen any time soon.

nukes headed to yemen soon…
your gay hehe, sissi boi
damn it takes nukes to take out the houthis. 😂
so israhell has nukes? and complain about imaginary iranian nukes (unfortunately iranians are dumb!)? hipocrisy is the mother of the harlot of jerusalem
no one have “nukes”. it was only a way for the nazis to achieve victory postumt. free mass murder, free genocide, live on death ! i think the iranians have the capacity to end the nazi outpost, and they should do it. the mass murdering christians will complain about the unholyness of that 😂 those evil clowns should white people finally get free from.
so, nukes will be free to use? nukes flying towards ukraine/europe will also be acceptable! thanks israhell!
then you will miss the root cause.
israhell economy erased also… -3.5 gdp degrowth… billions on damages in only 12 days war… if iran was just under khomeini leadership israhell won´t be on the maps anymore!
i am still waiting for the almighty idf “land incursion” in yemen! when this gonna be? 50k paralympic athletes in one year… at this rate idf will be fighting with old rags! lmao!
the ‘heheheh’ troll will be nuking his pants soon
israhell is over now that the yankee dollah is toast and ussans are no longer blind to the epstein scum that taxes them and defiles their children. where ya gonna hide shlomo when the entire m.e. comes for your sorry a$$? nowhere, that’s where!!!!
jooz are the garbage of the evolutionary process and the entire planet knows it now.
wow ! that’s one revelation there. got it summed up in one sentence. ✅
houthis would be right on board with that.
you’ll have to tell us all who’s supplying the goods.
i make up to $24 an hour working from my home. my story is that i quit working at walmart to work online and with a little effort i easily bring in around $45h to $89h… someone was good to me by sharing this link with me, so now i am hoping i could help someone else out there by sharing this link.try it, you won’t2 regret it!.

patsy’s on a winner here, and sharing a secret with us. everyone, take note 🥱
the big kike hunt steps up. if the jooz or their amerikunt whores set foot in yemen, the houthis will make short work of them. they’d better take plenty of diapers with them.
the way houthi technology is progressing, our zio chums will soon be on the receiving end of a few nukes. it should only take a couple to disinfect occupied palestine.
and body bags (made in china)
yes the idf claims all things. but will never claim responsibility
or accept accountability for any of is actions. they wiil defer to snake oil talking points mentally installed from childhood. yet the monopolies that fund their propaganda control all deployments. could care less if israelis live or die. even these people will not win anything when the pirate monopoly gains control of the regions oil
the big internet monopolies have been complicit in the gaza genocide. the undersea internet cables in the red sea have just been cut. but this has got nothing at all to do with the houthis getting revenge for zio bombing and kiddie killing. no – those half dozen ukrainians with their little sail boat and flippers and snorkels who did nordstream must have done it. yes, that must be it. nothing at all to do with the houthis. nothing at all.
i agree, but the stupidity are astronomical, like the mass murder in the hospitals. how can this continue ? why do not european and “american” regimes hang ? where are the root cause to korean, vietnam and ukraine war ? obviously, this is the time for small nations, like the time for the hobbits.
houthis kicking zionist ass
maybe israel should keep in mind that iran still has 95% of its missiles in stock. and to be honest, i don’t know why?
perplexing for a lot of other rational thinkers too.
how beautiful would it be to watch the entire population of the dirty jew shithole suffer and die slowly with radiation sickness?
remember boys and girls, a thing of beauty is a joy forever…lol
any foray into yemen on the ground will be pure suicide. trump should be impeached if he does this. the same for venezuela. the peace president…in what world? i thought biden was owned and operated by israel, but trump is one up at least. he fully enjoys his ability to kill with ease, while crying crocodile tears and slaughtering for his cult. the one good thing from trump is that he will destroy the u.s. he’s already well on the way, bankruptcy r us, a trump asset.
there are reports that the jooz and the amerikunts tried this last year. putting a ground force into yemen to do sabotage, ambushed by the houthis and 70 jooz and amerikunts wiped out.
special forces from hollywood, like the ones that got their horizontal bonus in kursk.
israel should install yark machines by the nookers. yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrkkkkk
‘reaching an area where the dimona nuclear power plant is located’.
perhaps an encore for a hypersonic or two ? now, what a kerfuffle a direct hit there would create. markets worldwide may have to vigorously accommodate such an awe inspiring event. 💩💩💩 = 🇮🇱 & 🇺🇲
netanyahu is committing crimes under netanyahu’s name, when time will come for his judgment, he will use his real polish name mileikowski to avoid justice.
