The scene: Two combat jets race through the night sky on opposite sides of the Saudi-Jordanian border. In one cockpit, a pilot from the Royal Saudi Air Force. In the other, one of Israel’s top air commanders. For most of modern Middle East history, this might have been the prelude to a mid-air dogﬁght waged by combatants in one of the region’s multiple wars pitting the Jewish state against its Arab neighbors.

Mar 26, 2025 | jinsa.org | Yoni Tobin |Behnam Ben Taleblu

The U.S. is pounding Houthi drone experts and infrastructure as well as command-and-control nodes across Yemen at a pace previously unseen.
