According to Fox News, U.S. Officials are confirming these were American strikes on Yemen, and was not in retaliation for attacks on U.S. ships last week — but were instead intended to thwart an imminent attack on Israel.

According to an Associated Press report, the U.S. was focusing heavily on weapons systems, and the strikes occurred in multiple Yemeni cities.

The U.S. military struck more than a dozen Houthi targets in Yemen on Friday, going after weapons systems, bases and other equipment belonging to the Iranian-backed rebels, U.S. officials confirmed.

Military aircraft and warships bombed Houthi strongholds at roughly five locations, according to the officials.

Houthi media said seven strikes hit the airport in Hodeida, a major port city, and the Katheib area, which has a Houthi-controlled military base. Four more strikes hit the Seiyana area in Sanaa, the capital, and two strikes hit the Dhamar province. The Houthi media office also reported three air raids in Bayda province, southeast of Sanaa.

Here was the scene in one area hit by the strikes, conducted by both plane and ship-based weapons systems:

News Week is reporting that a senior member of the Houthi’s has threatened “severe consequences” if the United States were to launch new strikes against their stronghold in Yemen:

A senior official of the Iran-aligned Ansar Allah movement, also known as the Houthis, has told Newsweek there would be severe consequences for the United States after it conducted a new round of strikes against Yemen in the midst of a regional crisis.

After reports circulated on Friday of explosions rocking at least three places in Yemen, including the port city of Hodeidah, the capital Sana’a and the southwestern city of Dhamar, local media affiliated with Ansar Allah quickly placed the blame on Washington. A U.S. defense official initially told Newsweek the Pentagon was “aware of the reports citing U.S. strikes in Yemen.”

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) then announced its responsibility for the operation, saying its forces “conducted strikes on 15 Houthi targets in Iranian-backed Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen today at about 5 p.m. (Sanaa time).”

According to a retired Airforce Special Operations Commander who spoke with News Nation, there could be ramifications from Iran after today’s strikes on their Houthi allies.  Check out his comments — he also addresses the potential targets Israel may be considering after Iran’s ballistic missile attack of a few days ago.

This is a continuing story as developments in the Middle East continue to escalate.  As tensions rise and the saber-rattling turns to actual conflict, the question seems to hang in the air — will we see a full-scale war in the Middle East in the near future?

From my perspective, both the facts on the ground and Biblical prophecy make that a certainty; simply a question of “when”, rather than “if”.  With the U.S. election upon us, turmoil on the ground in multiple hurricane ravaged states, and more political deceit than you can shake a stick at — I have no doubt that the news will only come even faster and more furious than it already is in the coming days.
