Look at this headline on the BBC website: "Saudis 'push back Yemen rebels'. " Yes, BBC. The Hawthi rebels were invading Saudi Arabia and the Saudi armed forces repulsed them. A very believable story.

Look at what Schnider of the Washington Post says here: "The security situation there stands in sharp contrast with that of the Gaza Strip, where the ruling Islamist Hamas movement and other militant organizations have launched thousands of rockets in recent years at southern Israeli towns, helping trigger an intense three-week war with Israel in the winter."
