Israelis were attacked from the air on October 7, 2023. In response to that and other attacks against America’s interests in the Middle East, America sent bombs, rockets and drones against some of the attackers.

There have been more than 160 attacks on U.S. forces by Iran-backed groups since Oct. 7, according to the Pentagon. 160+!

In addition, Houthi forces in Yemen have attacked commercial ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden with drones and missiles, vowing to continue until Israel halts its military campaign in Gaza.

U.S. Navy warships have shot down dozens of the Houthi drones and missiles but some have hit commercial vessels, prompting a slew of major shipping companies to shift cargo onto other, longer routes. In recent weeks, the U.S. military also carried out strikes against Houthi forces in Yemen, hitting launch sites and command centers.
