Donald J Trump Posts TruthSocial(@TruthTrumpPost):Saudi led coalition says it destroyed a Houthi drone before it entered Mecca's airspace. Every other target in this campaign, tankers, pipelines, Saudi cities near the Yemeni border serves a clear strategic logic: economic pressure, deterrence, tit-for-tat escalation with a state the Houthis are at war with. Mecca doesn't fit that logic at all, which is what makes it worth separating out from the rest of this week's attacks rather than folding it into the same "Houthi escalation" bucket. There's no material target there, no shipping lane, no oil infrastructure the only thing an attack on Mecca accomplishes is symbolic.
