Trump proudly released images showing the US bombing what the US called a "gathering of Houthi militants."
However, Arab language Telegram channels, including TG, exposed the truth behind the strike, revealing that it hit a group of unarmed Yemeni tribespeople celebrating the Eid al-Fitr festival.
Eid al-Fitr is a significant Islamic festival that marks the end of Ramadan, a month of fasting and prayer. It is a time for Muslims to celebrate with family and relatives, give charity, and enjoy communal prayers and feasts.
Trump claimed the strike targeted forces planning an attack on US ships, yet no such evidence has been presented.
Yahya Saree, a spokesperson for Yemen’s armed forces, strongly criticized the US attack, stating:
"Is the United States proud of such actions? This was a tribal gathering unrelated to your ships."
He continued, "You failed to hit any military target, so you resorted to bombing civilians."
The US military has justified the attack, claiming it was a successful strike on Houthi forces, but Yemeni officials have denounced it as an act of aggression against innocent civilians.
Observers have raised concerns about the accuracy of US intelligence and the broader implications of its military actions in Yemen, which continue to lead to civilian casualties.
With no evidence of armed Houthi forces in the area, many question the reliability of US intelligence and its disregard for the lives of innocent people.
While the US boasts of its military actions, the bloodshed and destruction it leaves behind reveal the stark truth of its operations in Yemen.
