This is coming from Sky News Arabia and should be taken with a grain of salt. Nonetheless.
Informed sources told Sky News Arabia that the United States informed the Houthis before carrying out air strikes on their sites in Yemen.
We know from the Wall Street Journal that the Houthis were prepped for the attack.
Maritime executives have been told by Western diplomats that targets would likely include missile and drone launch sites, radars and weapons depots around the Yemeni cities of Hodeida and Hajjah. Infrastructure in the capital San’a is also on the list of possible targets, the executives said
I’m not sure why maritime execs needed to be told this ahead of time. Why not just put out press releases of target locations?
Houthi forces have transported some weapons and equipment and fortified others in anticipation of a strike by the U.S. and its allies, a U.S. defense official and a person close to the Houthis said.
The Houthis have stockpiled their missiles in bunkers built by former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh in San’a, a densely populated area, said the person close to the Houthis.
This is the same playbook as Hamas, but there’s nothing unique there. It’s how Islamic terrorists operate.
But did the Biden administration tell the Houthis what our targets would be? It’s not such a crazy idea, because Obama used to tell ISIS where we would bomb. The war effort involved dropping leaflets warning that we would be bombing.
The Houthis claim that only 5 of their Jihadists were killed in the U.S.-U.K. airstrikes. Who knows if that’s true, but it would be a plausible number if they were told ahead of time to expect air strikes on particular targets.
That way Biden gets to put on a show of force without ‘escalating’ the conflict. From the D.C. position, that’s a win-win. From the American position, it’s treason.

That would fit their strategy of luring USA to attack them in order to increase their popularity at home.
CowboyUp says
The first news report I saw of them being given a head’s up on the strikes came from a European official last week. The biden administration probably did give them a detailed target list though.
With leadership like this, we can see why the military is having recruitment problems. Dems make them targets. Next dems’ll do away with camo and put target rings on their uniforms.

I would HOPE they didn’t give a “list”, but any SANE person would certainly consider their rocket launching and storage facilities as “potential targets”! But, the quickest way to get the attention of the followers is to remove the HEAD of the snake! I haven’t seen anything about what was actually struck or any actual damage but I would assume that there are many BIG holes where stuff used to be! This crap with the SOMALI Pirates is one thing but the bigger issue for me is the unfettered access that the SAME SOMALIS have to just waltz into Our Nation! MN is essentially Somali North! Then there’s the resident Somali brother wife corrupt US House of Representative! How many SANE Nations allow ENEMIES to do all that?? We need to REGAIN our SANITY!

The head of the snake is the UN.

What do you think John Kerry’s job has been for the last two decades?! Doesn’t matter who was in office – he was backstabbing us. It’s just a bit easier when Dems have power
Mailman says
If true then this should be a huge f99king issue for the UK who was right there blowing the f88k out of empty fields (assuming this is all true).
Talk about screwing over your main ally in all this while maintaining the fiction of being tough on terrorism.
Mo de Profit says
The government war on terror resulted in more terror.
The government war on drugs resulted in more drugs.
The government war on obesity resulted in more obesity.
The government war on crime resulted in more crime.
The government war on convid resulted in more convid.
There’s a pattern emerging here.

Kynarion Hellenis says
Remember Gen. Milley openly confesses he would warn China of imminent American attack.
This is also treason. The repeated actions against the American people by our own government is not stupidity, but an intentional course of conduct meant to inure us to betrayal and destruction.

It certainly wouldn’t surprise me one bit.
