Operation Black Flag represents the first time Israel has simultaneously targeted multiple Yemeni ports while also striking critical infrastructure (power station) and a captured vessel's systems. This unprecedented triple-threat approach (ports, power, and precision naval targeting) demonstrates a new capability to conduct complex, multi-domain operations far beyond Israel's traditional sphere of influence.

📰 What Happened
Israel conducted major airstrikes against Yemen on Sunday, targeting three Red Sea ports (Hodeidah, Ras Isa, and as-Salif) and the Ras Kathib power station under 'Operation Black Flag'. The strikes included targeting radar systems on the captured Galaxy Leader vessel. The Houthis retaliated by launching missiles at Ben Gurion Airport, Ashdod, Eilat ports, and Ashkelon power station. This marks the first such escalation in a month, with Israel citing earlier Houthi missile launches as justification.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The targeting of three specific ports (Hodeidah, Ras Isa, as-Salif) along with power infrastructure creates a new paradigm in the prophecies regarding the kings of the South and East (Daniel 11:40-45). The ability to precisely target radar systems on a captured vessel while simultaneously striking multiple coastal facilities shows technological capabilities that align with Revelation 13's description of global military control. Operation Black Flag's reach into Yemen expands the prophetic theater beyond traditional boundaries, suggesting the formation of the multi-nation confederacy described in Psalm 83.
