The US military and Israel have now changed their war strategies to eliminate the core characters as the main means, rather than confrontation on the front battlefield. The US aircraft carrier did not show an overwhelming advantage in the battle against the Houthis. Instead, it was threatened by the Houthis' anti-ship missiles, which put the US military at a disadvantage for a time.

The Israeli Air Force released the latest air strikes. The Israeli Air Force launched air strikes on multiple targets in Sana'a, Yemen, from Thursday to Friday, including the residences of the Houthi defense chief, the prime minister, and the chief of general staff. What is certain is that the Houthi defense chief was targeted for killing. The air strike list also included Houthi Prime Minister Rahavi and Chief of General Staff Gamali, who were also targeted for killing.

At present, the Israeli Air Force has completed the air strikes, but ground confirmation is still ongoing, that is, Israel needs to confirm whether the Houthi Armed Defense Ministers and others have actually been cleared, these confirmation work clearly requires intelligence personnel and satellite and other intelligence platforms comprehensive analysis. especially intelligence personnel, play a key role in the point clearance, such as the building where the target is, specifically to which room, even in which location in the room, need to be clearly understood, so that the most accurate attack can be carried out.

Under normal circumstances, this requires a comprehensive targeting of technical and intelligence means. Considering that Israel's Mossad can carry out comprehensive positioning and surveillance of top Iranian officials, not to mention the Houthi armed forces, which are still a regional organization.

There are still many heavyweights on the air strike list, such as Prime Minister Rahavi, Chief of General Staff Gamari, and the staff around him. If the results of the Israeli air strike are confirmed, it means that the Houthi command system has collapsed. The Chief of Defense and Chief of General Staff are the core decision-making figures of the armed forces. If these core figures are targeted and eliminated, the Houthi armed forces may not be able to form an effective combat force for the next period of time.

Therefore, the US military and Israel have now changed their war strategies to eliminate the core characters as the main means, rather than confrontation on the front battlefield. The US aircraft carrier did not show an overwhelming advantage in the battle against the Houthis, but was threatened by the Houthis' anti-ship missiles, which caused the US military to be at a disadvantage for a time.

At the same time, it can be seen that Israel¡¯s intelligence tools are very robust, showing a strong penetration ability to target Iran¡¯s core decision makers, using the cut-and-cut approach to clean up people around Khamenei. Then use this method for Houthi organizations at the regional level, and even simpler. It can be predicted that Israel will continue to implement the point clearance using intelligence and technology combined intelligence.
