    I usually misread things at first, read this as “Missile launched by Yemen’s Hourhis hits Ben Garrison”, saw that it wasn’t posted to fake news, and got very excited

      He’s an easy target because he’s so clearly labeled.

      Ansarallah has been giving their missiles such slick liveries. It would be a huge step back to just make them grey and paint the word “Missile” along the side.

    congratulations

    This is really interesting because it’s 2000km from Yemen to Ben Gurion airport. Hitting it at that range is impressive.

    For every sketchy as hell boomer I’ve ever overheard talking about visiting occupied Palestine seething and malding over getting their semi-regular flights cancelled another 50,000 neurons in my brain get absolutely flooded with dopamine.

    Death to the Zionist entity. Nothing but admiration to the beautifully kind and brave people of Yemen on this one.

    Impressive it broke through the defense, but side of these are there isn’t much by the way of damage. More kenetic than boom boom. Fast though. Too bad it didn’t hit the runway.

        The problem is airfields and airbases are stupidly large targets that can absorb a lot of damage.

        Hit the fuel storage or otherwise soft targets and you can cause massive damage. But when it is 70% empty space you need a lot of 50m holes to have the effect you want.

        The real win here is not material damage. It is morale. If one missile can get through, 50 can. If a couple dozen flights can be delayed, the whole airport can be shut down indefinately. If any Israelis felt it was safe to fly out of their settler colony, they are rethinking it now.

        Patching a 50m hole in a taxiway only takes hours. Convincing British airways that hundreds of millions of dollars of planes are safe after this attack, and they should keep their normal routes in place, much harder.

    I often wonder in situations like these if they aren’t engineered by isn’treal itself so they can escalate with impunity

        it just greases the wheels from time to time is all… they don’t explicitly need to justify shit but it doesn’t hurt, especially if they want to escalate

        Well I suppose it can depend on what they’re trying to justify and to whom. Blow up a hospital? Of course not. But there’s always something just beyond the pale

      They definitely have allowed things to happen to this end but hard to say about this instance because it also makes them look weak when they fail to intercept missiles

    I was discussing with an Iraqi-Kurdish Barber just yesterday about Yemen’a fierce resistance to the regime. I hope he enjoys seeing the news

  • To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).

  • To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.

  • To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don’t post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
