Houthis Challenge Israeli Air Force — BIG MISTAKE

Analyze the sophisticated long-range precision strike that demonstrated Israel's ability to project power across the Middle East. On May 5, 2025, twenty Israeli F-15 fighter jets flew 2,000 kilometers to destroy Houthi weapons infrastructure in Yemen, responding to the first successful Houthi missile strike on Ben Gurion Airport. This detailed breakdown examines the complex logistics of extended-range operations, precision-guided munitions, and strategic targeting that eliminated Iran's Red Sea weapons pipeline. Learn how Israeli pilots maintained operational security across hostile airspace, the engineering behind mid-air refueling at maximum range, and why destroying a concrete factory was key to dismantling Houthi tunnel networks. This educational analysis explores contemporary military technology, precision warfare capabilities, and the strategic implications of long-range strike operations.
