Israel's going to bomb Yemen? They would need refueling or either BM/CM launches

There response options are quite limited.

Other than a bombing run with US providing mid air refueling the only other two options are a CM attack by Navy ships/Dolphin subs from Red Sea or a BM attack via Jericho-3. However, Israel likely has less than 250 J-3 missiles since they are a nuclear deterrent. I question their accuracy with a conventional warhead.

Thus if accuracy is the intention the most likely response will be via air or frigates/submarine using popeye cruise missiles (roughly similar to tomahawk).

The risk with frigates is that Iran has Forward Operating Bases in Red Sea so it will detect them heading towards Yemen. Yemen does have Iranian anti ship missiles so Israel would likely stay out of their range.

Isn't Jericho based on South African RSA? It probably has a massive CEP

I would bet on the naval/sub response, Iran should take notes if any of them happens, could it also reveal valuable information for Iran?

The bombing run + US refueling is very dubious imo, recent IAF proven only capable of bombing Syria using Lebanon airspace with little to no resistance missions, they would also risk getting compromised or worse, Houthis proven they can down western jets, i also doubt US wants to risk being a part of it and getting Houthis retaliation

How many left?

As in how many IDF soldiers left to go into Gaza? Not sure.

They have their forces dived between North and South right now. Hundreds of thousands of reservists have been called up but how many of those are actually combat troops geared and ready to go isn’t exactly clear.


Their impact will be mainly psychological as there are tons of radars and AD systems in place between Yemen and Israel.

Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and American naval assets in the Red Sea will work to intercept as many munitions as possible before Israeli IADs takeover.

Depending on how frequent and intense these Houthi long range strike end up being. It should have an effect on interceptor stocks.

Saudis are next door and with full US assistance went to war with Houthis for years and couldn't degrade their weapons capabilities, Israel can't do shit with limited bombing runs or missile strikes from 1800km away

This is Houthis third missile strike against Israel. First time Israel used its own ABM AD (Arrow-2) to intercept MRBM (Toufan/Iranian Ghadr-F SCUD-based MRBM) in this war. Houthi strikes seem to be improving and getting closer, first time they didn't even get past US ships in Red Sea
