Jeffrey Goldberg was mistakenly added to an unsecured group chat where US national security officials discussed and coordinated airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen
US airstrikes targeting Yemen's Houthi rebels pounded sites across the country into early Tuesday, with the group saying one attack in the capital killed at least two people and wounded more than a dozen others. The American strikes on the rebels, who threaten maritime trade and Israel, entered their 10th day without any sign of stopping. They are part of a campaign by US President Donald Trump targeting the rebel group while also trying to pressure Iran, the Houthis' main benefactor. So far, the US has not offered any specifics on the sites it is striking, though Trump's National Security Advisor Mike Waltz claimed the attacks have taken out key Houthi leadership, including their head missileer". That's something so far that's not been acknowledged by the Houthis, though the rebels have downplayed their losses in the past and exaggerated their attacks attempting to target American warships. "We've hit their headquarters. We've hit communications nodes, weapons factories and even

U.S. President Donald Trump threatened Yemen's Houthi rebels on Wednesday that they'll be completely annihilated as American airstrikes pounded locations under their control, while further pressuring the group's main benefactor Iran. Strikes hit Sanaa, Yemen's rebel-held capital, as well as their stronghold of Saada in the country's northwest on Wednesday night, the Houthi's al-Maisrah satellite news channel reported.

Yemen's Houthi rebels unilaterally freed 153 war detainees Saturday, the International Committee of the Red Cross said, one of several overtures in recent days to ease tensions after the ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip. Previous prisoner releases have been viewed as a means to jumpstart talks over permanently ending Yemen's decade-long war, which began when the Houthis seized the country's capital, Sanaa, in 2014.
