(Ynet News) Ron Ben-Yishai - U.S. strikes on pro-Iran militias in Syria and Iraq, as well as extensive strikes on Houthi infrastructure, indicate that the U.S. is aiming for more than a retaliatory response for the killing of U.S. troops in Jordan. These strikes targeted the logistical and operational center of the Shi'ite militias near the towns of Al-Bukamal in Syria and Al-Qa'im in Iraq, as well as missile storage facilities and production lines for UAVs in central Yemen. What the U.S. and UK are doing by attacking the IRGC and their proxies is akin to what Israel is doing to Hizbullah across its northern border, systematically destroying Hizbullah's operational and military infrastructure to impact their ability to carry out attacks for a prolonged period, while sending Israel's own message to the regime in Iran.
