Oh what the hell, guess it’s ok then to let the Houthis’ do what they do. They will either get bored with it or run out of missles/drones. Rather embarrassing since the U.S. is the most powerfull nation on earth. (Or maybe we’re not).

I’m siding with Netanyahu on this.
If Hamas is sneaking in weaponry under the corridor then I would suggest gouging a strip right down the middle to block any tunnel activity. But I’m wondering where those tunnels begin?

Re: Israel/Palestine
Glad the U.S./U.K. finally fighting back at the Houthis….but
Why isn’t the media screaming since we killed/injured civilian students?
AL-MUKALLA: Two students were killed and at least 10 were injured in a stampede at a Yemeni school caused by US and UK airstrikes in the southern province of Taiz, Houthi media said on Tuesday.
The Houthi-run Al-Masirah channel reported that American and British jets carried out strikes on a location, believed to be a military base, near Aiysha school in Taiz’s Al-Janad, causing frightened students to stampede through the school’s doors, killing two and injuring at least 10.
Houthi media broadcast footage from a local medical facility in Taiz, showing what appeared to be the bodies of two dead female students wrapped in white garments while other wounded students received treatment.
The reported strikes by US and UK aircraft are the latest in a series of military operations against Houthi targets in response to the militia’s attacks on ships.
On Tuesday, Monday and Sunday, the Houthis reported that US and UK aircraft struck Ibb, Hodeidah and Taiz, respectively.
Abdul Basit Al-Baher, a Yemeni military officer in Taiz, told Arab News that Al-Janad in Taiz has at least five military bases, and he believes the warplanes may have targeted the Al-Janad army base, which is the closest military site to the school.
Al-Baher said that the Tariq Air Base is Al-Janad’s largest military base, where “Iranian and Lebanese military experts assemble missiles and drones.”
It came as Houthi military spokesman Yahya Sarea claimed on Tuesday that militia forces shot down a new US MQ-9 Reaper drone over the northern province of Saada, the second such claim in less than a week and the ninth since the militia’s anti-ship campaign began in November.
On Saturday, the Houthis claimed to have shot down a US MQ-9 drone that was carrying out “hostile operations” over the central provinces of Marib.
Unlike previous videos released following their announcements, the Houthis have not broadcast footage of the latest two drones being shot down to support their claims.
At the same time, US Central Command said on Tuesday morning that its forces destroyed two Houthi missile systems and one support vehicle in Houthi-held Yemeni territory, as well as one Houthi drone over the Red Sea, over the previous 24 hours.
During the past 10 months, the Houthis have fired hundreds of ballistic missiles, drones and drone boats at international commercial and naval ships in the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden and other seas, claiming to be acting in support of Palestinians against Israel’s war in Gaza.

Exploding pagers kill Hezbollah members and others, leave thousands wounded, officials say; militant group blames Israel
Beirut, Lebanon — Hundreds of handheld pagers exploded near simultaneously in parts of Lebanon and Syria on Tuesday, killing at least nine people - including members of the militant group Hezbollah and a young girl - and wounding several thousand, officials said. They pointed the finger at Israel in what appeared to be a sophisticated, remote attack.
Among those wounded was Iran's ambassador to Lebanon. The mysterious incident came amid rising tensions between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah, which have exchanged fire across the Israel-Lebanon border since the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas that sparked the war in Gaza.
The pagers that exploded had been newly acquired by Hezbollah after the group's leader ordered members to stop using cell phones, warning they could be tracked by Israeli intelligence. A Hezbollah official told The Associated Press the pagers were a new brand the group had not used before.
At about 3:30 p.m. local time on Tuesday, pagers started heating up and then exploding in the pockets and hands of those carrying them -- particularly in a southern Beirut suburb and the Beqaa region of eastern Lebanon where Hezbollah has a strong presence, and in Damascus, where several Hezbollah members were wounded, Lebanese security officials and a Hezbollah official said. The Hezbollah official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the press.

Re: Israel/Palestine
Video shows the moment a pager exploded in Lebanon as part of an attack that targeted pagers held by members of the Iran-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah across Lebanon on Tuesday, according to the country’s health minister. The Lebanese government has blamed Israel for Tuesday’s pager explosions. The Israeli military said earlier on Tuesday it would not be commenting on the incidents.

I'm also wondering who manufactured, and who sold these pagers to Hezbollah, and why Hezbollah didn't do rigorous testing on them?
One other thing I am wondering. If the Israeli's know there are large amounts of wounded Hezbollah members in hospitals, do they blow up the hospitals?

Is there are way to make lithium electronic devices explode through technology and remotely?
The not funny thing is my guess is a whole lot of people took their cell phones out of their front pockets after learning of this.
How's this? I'm making a crazy prediction. In the not too distant future you aren't keeping your electronic devices with you on an airplane and they will be locked in an "explosion proof" container until after you land.
