Israeli Army Reveals Details of 'Black Flag' Operation Against the Houthis - Jordan News
Israeli Army Reveals Details of 'Black Flag' Operation Against the Houthis The Israeli military announced on Monday the details of Operation "Black Flag", launched to "punish" the Houthi movement, claiming it destroyed key infrastructure affiliated with the group through coordinated air and naval strikes. اضافة اعلان According to a post by IDF spokesperson Avichay Adraee on platform X, dozens of Israeli warplanes, with intelligence support from the IDF Intelligence Directorate and Naval Forces, targeted infrastructure used by the Houthi regime in Al-Hudaydah, Ras Issa, As-Salif, and the Ras Kathib power station. Adraee stated: 'These ports are exploited by the Houthi terrorist regime to transfer weapons from Iran, used to implement terrorist plots against Israel and its allies.' He claimed the Houthis are militarizing civilian maritime infrastructure, using it to launch attacks on international shipping and to monitor naval movements. Among the targets, Adraee said, was the commercial ship 'Galaxy Leader', which the Houthis seized in November 2023. He alleged that the group placed a radar system on the vessel to track naval activity and support their operations. He also noted that the power station in Ras Kathib was used as a key node to support the Houthis' military operations by integrating electricity for those activities. The spokesperson justified the strikes as a response to repeated Houthi attacks on Israel, including missile and drone launches targeting Israeli territory and civilian infrastructure. Adraee concluded by reaffirming the IDF's commitment to act: 'The IDF is determined to continue forcefully striking anyone who threatens the citizens of Israel, regardless of distance.' He emphasized that the Houthis act as a central proxy for Iran, receiving funding and weaponry from Tehran, and are 'partners in Iranian-sponsored terrorism worldwide.' — (Agencies)

Israel Launches "Black Flag" Airstrikes on Houthi Targets in Yemen
Aden — Israel launched a series of precision airstrikes early Monday morning targeting Houthi-controlled sites in Yemen. The operation, dubbed "Black Flag", was initiated in response to repeated missile and drone attacks originating from Yemeni territory toward Israeli cities. Scope of the Operation The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that over 50 missiles and guided bombs were deployed against strategic Houthi positions, including ports in Al-Hudaydah, Ras Isa, and Al-Salif, as well as the Ras Kathib power station. Among the targets was the previously seized vessel "Galaxy Leader", allegedly repurposed by the Houthis for military surveillance. Official Statements Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant described the campaign as "a necessary deterrent" aimed at curbing Iran-backed aggression and safeguarding regional maritime routes. 'Those who target Israeli sovereignty will face swift consequences,' Gallant stated. This marks the first direct Israeli strike inside Yemen in recent years and raises concerns about a broader regional confrontation. The United Nations has called for restraint, urging all parties to avoid further escalation.

'Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag' Remake Hinted At By Edward Kenway Voice Actor
Ubisoft's upcoming remake of its 2013 sea-faring stealth action title, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag , might be the studio's worst-kept secret, but its existence is all but confirmed following an obvious tease by game protagonist Edward Kenway's voice actor, Matt Ryan. This comes via a TikTok video by user Therebelarchive, in which Ryan was seen signing autographs at a recent fan convention. It was one such signing that drew fan attention, specifically comments he made while autographing a sealed Edward Kenway Funko Pop box. @therebelarchive Matt Ryan #assassinscreed #blackflag #edwardkenway #constantine ♬ original sound – therebelarchive While writing on the box, Ryan asks the fan if he has beaten the game, to which he adds, 'Well, you might have to beat it again…' When the fan replies, 'Is this true? I have to run through all of them again,' Ryan responds with a cheeky wink, saying, 'Well, especially this one (referring to Edward Kenway and Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag ). There's a reason I say that, but I can't say anything.' His comments are probably the least subtle tease on the existence of a remake or remaster, at the minimum suggesting that a Black Flag -related project is on the horizon. These hints also come after numerous leaks surrounding the game, which was first reported via an anonymous Kotaku source in 2023, explaining Ubisoft's release strategy, claiming the game was in the earliest stages of development at the time, with Skull & Bones developer Ubisoft Singapore heavily involved with planning. Rumours once again stirred up in early June this year, this time during a live stream held by PureArts, who make figurines of video game characters. During a stream showcasing a range of new Assassin's Creed merchandise, fans noted the absence of Edward Kenway from the lineup, to which the presenter acknowledged the situation by saying that 'there is something going on with Edward' and that was why they were holding off launching a new version of the character. These hints and rumours are even more plausible considering Ubisoft doesn't have a new Assassin's Creed title set for this year, so a Black Flag remake or remaster could very well fill that void. All we need now is an official announcement, which Ubisoft will hopefully reveal sometime soon and quell the rumours once and for all.

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Voice Actor Teases Previously Reported Remake
The voice actor behind the main character in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag seems to be teasing something. Many people assume it's the previously reported remake of the beloved pirate-themed Assassin's Creed sequel released back in 2013. On June 29, a video was posted online showing Matt Ryan, the actor who voiced Black Flag's protagonist Edward Kenway, talking to a fan and signing some pictures. In the short clip posted first on TikTok, Ryan starts chatting with the Assassin's Creed fan about Black Flag and is curious if the fan has beaten that particular game. 'Have you beaten the [Black Flag]?' Ryan asks in the clip. The fan says they have, but it was a while ago. To that, Ryan responds: 'Well, you might have to beat it again...' Ryan then nods, knowingly, and smiles. 'Is this true? I gotta run through all of them again,' says the fan. 'Well, especially this one,' says Ryan in response. 'There's a reason I say that, but I can't say anything.' So yeah, it seems like Ryan is teasing something about Black Flag. Now, it could be a comic, maybe a new novel, or perhaps some special update that's coming to Assassin's Creed: Shadows that will contain some Black Flag-themed content. But it seems odd that the voice actor for Edward Kenway would have insider knowledge about that stuff or would tease it like this. More likely, this is Ryan teasing the rumored and reported still-in-development Black Flag remake or remaster project. Kotaku has contacted Ubisoft for comment. As previously mentioned, in 2023 Kotaku reported that it had learned from multiple sources that a remake of the 2013 Assassin's Creed game was in early stages and would not be completed for a few years. It's said to be more than a straight port of the old game to new consoles. A team at Ubisoft Singapore, one of the studios that has led development on the Assassin's Creed franchise's evolving ocean tech, is said to be heavily involved in helping to modernize Black Flag. Another report from MP1st in January further claimed that the remake was not just a simple port and would include new systems and content. That would likely mean Matt Ryan would need to be brought back in for some voice recording. And considering that voice acting generally doesn't happen until later in a game's development, this Black Flag remake may be launching sooner than later. In fact, Ubisoft doesn't have any big games coming out this holiday season. Hmm... . For the latest news, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
