On April 4, 2025, the United States carried out a military strike in Yemen aimed at a group that President Donald J. Trump identified as Houthis preparing for an attack. Trump shared a video on X, previously known as Twitter, showcasing an American airstrike targeting Houthi militants in Yemen, adding the comment ‘oops’.

Some sources claim the gathering was actually a civilian tribal event marking the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, rather than a military assembly. This discrepancy has ignited controversy surrounding the accuracy of U.S. intelligence and raised ethical concerns about the strike.

    Damn. Even the Jerusalem Post is disturbed by this.

    But the IDF’s explanation for the ambush already has problems. Initially, the military claimed that the ambulances’ lights were off, but in fact, at least some of the ambulances’ lights were on, though possibly the first ambulance had its lights off.

    Also, despite initial IDF claims, the ambulances were properly labeled as Red Cross.

    After killing the Red Cross workers, the IDF still believed them to be Hamas based on examining six of the bodies, though the military’s explanation of what about the aid workers made them seem like Hamas forces was unclear.

    [The IDF] buried the bodies to protect them from damage during any expected new fight, according to the narrative.

    …

    The Jerusalem Post was not provided with other cases in which the IDF used such a procedure to leave bodies of aid workers for the UN.
