US warship that intercepted drones and missiles near the coast of Yemen on Thursday encountered a larger and more sustained barrage than was previously known, shooting down 4 cruise missiles and 15 drones over a period of 9 hours, according to a US official familiar with the situation.
The USS Carney, an Arleigh-Burke class destroyer that traversed the Suez Canal heading south on Wednesday, intercepted the missiles and drones as they were heading north along the Red Sea. Their trajectory left little doubt that the projectiles were headed for Israel, the official said, a clearer assessment than the Pentagon’s initial take.
A sustained barrage of drones and missiles targeting Israel from far outside the Gaza conflict is one of a series of worrying signs that the war risks escalating beyond the borders of the coastal enclave.
Where did I say that I do not care about Palestinian lives? Seriously chill. And Hamas existed in force before election of Hamas in power. Why do you think Egypt blockaded Gaza too? It is Hamas who prevented and prevents people of Gaza to live their lives in peace with neighbors and without blockade from neighbors. (Which I already told in my previous post). I care about lives of civilians on either side, but you looks like have just spewing hatred for one side.
What about the West Bank? What about when Hamas signed ceasefires with Israel and it was Israel who didn’t follow them? What about when Israel opposed the short-lived unified Palestinian government and its attempt at peace, then stonewalled peace efforts by the PA?
It’s Israel’s fault that they can’t live in peace with their neighbors.
