The US military recently launched a fighter jet aimed at targeting the Hooty forces in Yemen, with a new video show.
Fox News has obtained a dramatic video showing the jet taking off towards a terrorist target. It comes shortly after President Donald Trump launched a “decisive and powerful” airstrike for months against Iranian support organizations targeting commercial and US vessels.
“It has been more than a year since US wrapped commercial vessels sailed safely through the Suez Canal. Red Sea, Or, the Gulf of Aden wrote, “On Saturday, in the Social Post of Truth: “The last American warship that had passed through the Red Sea four months ago was attacked by the Houches on dozens of occasions.”
“The Iran-funded Houthi Thugs launched missiles with US aircraft and targeted the troops and allies,” the president continued. “These ruthless attacks cost the US and the global economy billions of dollars, and at the same time risk innocent lives.”

Trump has promised that the US military will “use overwhelming deadly force until we reach our goal.”
“For all Houthi terrorists, your time has ended and your attacks must stop from today. If they don't, hell will rain over you like something you've never seen before!” his post concluded.

Since the strike began on Saturday, Houthi drones, missiles and air defense systems have been targeted by the US military. Senior defense officials told Fox News on Sunday that at least 12 Houthi drones have been shot down by US troops so far.
On Monday, General Alexus Glinkewich's co-staff director told reporters that “dozens of military casualties” had been counted so far.
Houthis claimed that 53 people, including five children, had been killed as of Monday, but that has not been confirmed by the US military.

“This isn't an endless attack either,” Sean Parnell, the Pentagon's chief spokesman, said Monday. “This is not about a change of government in the Middle East. It's about putting American interests first.”
