El primer ministro israelí, Benjamín Netanyahu, habló por primera vez este jueves sobre el ataque aéreo que tuvo lugar en el último día contra objetivos de los hutíes en Yemen.

Según Netanyahu, “hicimos esto en respuesta a los repetidos ataques de los hutíes contra objetivos civiles en Israel. Anoche atacaron una escuela en Ramat Gan.

“No nos atacan sólo a nosotros, atacan al mundo entero. Atacan las rutas comerciales y de transporte marítimo internacionales. Por eso, cuando Israel actúa contra los hutíes, lo hace en beneficio de toda la comunidad internacional. Los estadounidenses lo entienden bien, y también lo entienden muchos otros”.

Además, afirmó: “Después de Hamás, Hezbolá y el régimen de Assad en Siria, los hutíes son casi el único brazo que le queda al eje del mal iraní. Están aprendiendo y aprenderán que aquellos que dañan a Israel pagan muy caro”.

El objetivo principal de los ataques aéreos de las FDI fue cerrar los tres puertos controlados por los hutíes.

La Fuerza Aérea atacó objetivos en el puerto de Hodeidah y la capital, Saná, aproximadamente a 2.000 kilómetros de Israel.

Los hutíes han lanzado alrededor de 200 misiles balísticos y 170 drones hacia Israel desde que comenzó la guerra.

La mayoría fueron interceptados, pero algunos lograron penetrar el espacio aéreo israelí. En julio, un dron procedente de Yemen causó la muerte de Evgeny Freder en Tel Aviv.

La primera oleada de ataques comenzó a las 3:15 am en la zona costera de Yemen, y la segunda a las 4:30 a. m. en Saná.

Participaron catorce aviones de combate, que cubrían más de 1.700 kilómetros, y atacaron los puertos de Ras Issa, Hodeidah y el puerto de Al-Salif.

En total, ocho remolcadores fueron atacados. En Saná, el combustible. Los objetivos fueron tanques, petróleo y una central eléctrica.

 On Saturday December 18, 2021 we were very excited to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Cuban Hebrew Congregation / Temple Beth Shmuel in a magnificent Gala event. The evening started with champagne and hors d oeurves in the cocktail room. Our guests were invited to walk in to a red carpet timeline gallery of pictures and descriptions from where it all began. Beginning in Cuba and coming to Miami, the success of the years in-between to today’s 60 years of celebration. This included a beautiful homage to Ofelia Ruder, The Presidents’ Wall and the Honor Wall which included Rabbi Dow Rozencwaig, Jack Chester, Isaac & Nieves Olemberg, Oscar & Rosa Boruchin and Lorenzo & Lucy Rozencwaig.

The evening continued in the beautiful Olemberg Ballroom where homage was made to the families that were instrumental in keeping the doors open and growing the community for the past 60 years. We invited Mayor Daniella Levin Cava of Miami Dade County and commissioners, Ms. Kristen Castillo presented a Proclamation to the Cuban Hebrew Congregation in honor of 60 years. In addition a special award was given to Becky Kobrowski-Cohen for her valuable contributions to the community.
