HOW ISRAEL MANAGED TO LAUNCH COAST MISSILES INTO YEMEN

You ask yourselves how did Israel manage to fire coastal missiles so deep into Houthi territory and gather intelligence that potentially led to elimination of the Houthi command?

This thread might shed some light

👇
As Israel just managed to eliminate senior Houti figures alongside hitting strategic targets, many began speculating: Besides the fighter jets strikes, from where were Israel’s naval missiles were launched and how was the precise intel obtained that enabled the operation?

🔽 Image
One Arabic channel claimed that the launch originated from an Israeli naval base on the Dahlak Islands in the Red Sea: Eritrean territory where Israel and the UAE had established a port facing Yemen’s coast, northwest of Hudaydah.

🔽 Image
The credibility of this claim is questionable, but its very publication reflects the regional understanding that Israel maintains a long-term presence in this maritime arena.

🔽 Image
At the same time, other outlets emphasized the intelligence dimension: Israeli reports said that Military Intelligence (A.M.A.N) had obtained exceptionally precise and rare intelligence that provided the “window of opportunity” for the strike.

Some suggested that the info came from Israel’s long-standing intelligence base in Eritrea, located on Mount Amba Soira, around 3,000m high, 135 km south of Asmara) which might monitor Houthi movements in Yemen, the Iranian navy in the Red Sea, and the Bab al-Mandeb Strait.

🔽 Image
Several reliable publications in the past described the base as a large-scale regional electronic intelligence hub.

Here is what it can obtain according to Open-Source Intelligence:

🔽
• Overseeing Saudi and Islamic coalition forces’ activity in Yemen.

• Tracking IRGC movements in the Red Sea and Eritrea (after its expulsion from Sudan).

• Monitoring maritime traffic.

• Monitoring Sudan, which is suspected of supplying weapons to Hamas in Gaza.

🔽 Image
This is not a “military base” in the familiar sense - with soldiers etc’.. Rather, it is an advanced electronic intel facility, based on tech and satellite systems. The real asset is not the personnel physically present on-site, but the technology that gathers the intelligence. Image

THE IDF ACTION IN NASSER HOSPITAL IN GAZA

A military action this morning in Khan Yunis Gaza resulted in the death of 4 Journalists.

HERE IS WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗔𝗙𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗛 | Where Are We Heading

Israel is pounding the IRGC in Iran. The U.S. has obliterated key components of the nuclear program in a historic strike. And the Mid East is shifting rapidly - Hour by hour.

Here’s my assessment of where this is heading

👇 Image
THE NUCLEAR PROGRAM

The United States has severely damaged the Ayatollahs’ nuclear program. This will slow down the regime’s path to a nuclear weapon, but we must stay grounded. It will not prevent them from continuing to pursue it.

The Israeli Air Force and the Mossad have done a tremendous job paving the way for the U.S. to carry out their strike. Without Israel’s groundwork - destroying Iranian air defense systems, ground-to-air missiles, detection systems, and the infrastructure above these nuclear facilities, the American strike would not have been possible in the manner that it was conducted.

From an operational point of view, if we isolate the nuclear targets alone, once the B-2 bombers dropped the bunker busters, additional bombers and 4th and 5th generation aircraft had to keep coming back with smaller diameter bombs around the initial targeted area, to collapse and sink the entire surface and ensure the facilities are beyond repair. Therefore, I anticipate that, alongside the broad target bank Israel has prepared for this operation: Targeting ballistic capabilities, defense systems, and regime assets, there will be repetitive Israeli Air Force strikes doing exactly that.

In addition, satellite images showing trucks departing Fordow increase the suspicion that some enriched uranium was moved elsewhere. The assessments are 400kg enriched Uranium was mobilised from the site. It is now up to Israeli intelligence and the Air Force to locate and destroy those barrels, and that will not be an easy task. But detection of trucks with the level of intelligence Israel has on the ground, is not that difficult either.

Israel has now created a new equation. Even when Operation Rising Lion is over, every attempt to rebuild these nuclear capabilities or rearm with ballistic missiles - either for the regime or its proxies, will be answered with an Air Force package flying back and forth to Iran, just like Israel already does in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza.

REGIME CHANGE

Regime change was not a primary objective of this operation - not for Israel and not for the U.S. But it became a weapon against the regime the moment it chose to target Israeli civilians, hoping to trigger an internal revolt against Netanyahu.

The Ayatollahs’ regime is a Shia regime, meaning it is not suicidal. It will do anything to stay in power and survive.

I believe that eliminating Khamenei by anyone but the Iranian people themselves would embolden Hezbollah and the Houthis to join the war, despite their limited capabilities. It might even lead to the execution of our hostages in Gaza. Yes, the regime is not suicidal — but its proxies are, and they will die on that hill if the symbol of everything they believe in is eliminated by Israel or the U.S.
Let me remind you: they’re not far away, they are right at our borders.

At this point, regime change is no longer just a geopolitical calculation - it’s a strategic one. If we want a long-term, sustainable solution for the region and the West, we cannot allow a regime that, even after such a blow, continues to release daily threats against Israel, America, Europe, and Gulf states like Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

A regime like this cannot stay in power. But the objective is not just regime change - it is leadership change.
And that is far more complex than eliminating a leader like Khamenei, as we did with Nasrallah in Lebanon and Sinwar in Gaza.
Unlike them, Khamenei is not the head of an organization within a country - he is the head of a country itself. And despite the Iranian sentiment that the regime doesn’t represent them, replacing Iran’s governance system is the only viable objective. No one wants to see a younger, more ideological Ayatollah rise to power with the same goals.

No military can force that kind of change, but it can create the conditions for it.
What’s certain is this: we are approaching a point of no return. If the Iranian people, who are seen as natural allies of Western civilisation, cannot seize this opportunity, they may never get another. It’s now or never. And if they fail, once Israeli jets leave Iran, the regime will mass-execute its own population if it has to. That’s something neither Israel nor the U.S. administration wants to witness.
Trust me, the lessons from Afghanistan and Gaza have been learned.

THE BEGINNING OF THE END? THE ISRAELI NAVY ATTACK IN YEMEN: My Initial Analysis

Why did the Houthis fail to detect the Israeli ship? What this reveals about possible on-the-ground collaboration, and what it all means tactically?

👇 Image
1. THE TACTICAL EXPLANATION: How The Israeli Ship Managed To Approach The Port Undetected?

👇
A. USING CIVILIAN SHIPPING LANES:

The Israeli ship could have traveled within busy commercial shipping corridors, possibly under the radar or disguised (e.g., moving close to merchant vessels). This would make it hard for the Houthis to single it out.

SITUATION OVERVIEW | THE REALITY YOU WON’T HEAR IN THE NEWS

The collapse of the Palestinian Dream, the panic in the Arab world, why ‘Nakba’ is the way to normalisation, how come everyone but Israel fear Iran and what Israeli officials are failing to see?

👇 Image
When the Saudis buy American weapons, it’s not for peace nor glory, it’s protection money.
When they cozy up to France, it’s not diplomacy, it’s panic.

🔽 Image
And in Israel? Senior officials are sweating, not because they lack power, but because they come from a culture of stability, not of decisive action.

But here’s a basic rule in geopolitics: when your adversary is panicking, you’re probably on the right track. You need to keep going. He’ll break before you do..

IS HEZBOLLAH DISMANTLED?
THE IRGC PLAN TO REBUILD ITS AXIS

Iran’s IRGC is trying to rehabilitate its axis via crown proxy Hezbollah, but Jolani’s Syria is complicating it for the Ayatollahs. Now they found alternatives, far from the Mid-East and Israeli intelligence..

👇 Image
Hezbollah has recently relocated the families of nearly 400 of its leaders to Latin America, while some have opted to seek asylum in Africa.

According to Lebanese sources, the families of the 400 Hezbollah leaders were deported to Latin America with them.

🔽 Image
In a video posted to his X account, journalist Ali Hamadeh ( @AliNahar ) revealed information, while denying its validity, citing a “Latin American diplomat” who claimed that a large number of mid-level Hezbollah leaders’ families had been expelled from Lebanon.

THE MISSILE THAT GOT AWAY:
WHY THE HOUTHI MISSILE WHICH HIT THE AIRPORT WASN’T INTERCEPTED?

How did the failure to intercept the Houthi missile happen, and how might it be connected to Trump halting American strikes on the Houthis in Yemen?

Prepared to be shocked

👇
On Sunday, May 4th, Israel’s defense systems detected a launch from Yemen. By 9:19 a.m., news channels were already reporting the missile launch.

🔽 Image
Just a few minutes later, at approximately 9:23 a.m., sirens were activated from the Shfela region to northern Sharon, including at Ben Gurion Airport. This indicates that the sirens worked correctly and the Israeli detection systems picked up the launch in time.
