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.

Al jazeera coverage multiple angles.

That hole is 50m across and 15m deep lmao

[-] AnarchoAnarchist@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago

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 found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

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

[-] SteamedHamberder@hexbear.net 72 points 1 day ago

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.

I simply can't believe the kind of person who would say:

fuck-around , boomerang, I hope that guy Hasan interviewed is still current in One Piece, and isntrael

You'd have to be a depraved individual to make such comments

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

[-] peeonyou@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago

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

[-] porcupine@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 1 day ago

I can’t begin to imagine what in the year 2025 would lead you to believe that the occupation is constrained by the need to “justify” their actions to anyone.

[-] peeonyou@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

[-] SerLava@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

[-] Jabril@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

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

[-] peeonyou@hexbear.net 3 points 22 hours ago

yeah that's a fair point
