Throughout last week Yemen missiles rained down on military targets in Tel Aviv.
In response Israel bombed civilian targets in Sanaa Yemen. Targeting power stations an the port.
When this still did not stop the strikes on Tel Aviv the US launched airstrikes on Yemen resulting in the accidental friendly fire shoot down of two Navy airmen and their F/A-18 Super Hornet.
The Houthi's released this video recapping the week.

In their full remarks Yemen forces actually take credit for directly shooting down the US fighter jet. They say Yemen forces waited for the US to begin attacking them from a carrier group. The Yemen military then targeted the US fighter jets and their waiting aircraft carrier group with waves of drones and missiles.
So anyways a pair of US fighter pilots got shot down fighting Yemen, a country we're not technically at war with.
You'd think that would make some sort of news. What's the US' goal here?

The U.S. military says two U.S. Navy pilots have been shot down over the Red Sea in an apparent “friendly fire” incident. Both pilots were recovered alive, with one suffering minor injuries in the incident on Sunday. The incident came as the U.S. military conducted airstrikes targeting Yemen’s Houthi rebels, though the U.S. military’s Central Command did not elaborate on what their mission was at the time. “The guided missile cruiser USS Gettysburg, which is part of the USS Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group, mistakenly fired on and hit the F/A-18, which was flying off the USS Harry S. Truman,” Central Command said in a statement.
I know, right? An article about an “apparent friendly fire incident” continues with “But the shootdown underlines just how dangerous the Red Sea corridor has become” 🤔
