Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 27 January 2025

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

I've found more typos under the "Timeline of events" section. Please forgive the extra length, but I think including the starting portion of the paragraphs makes them easier to find, and breaking them up with blank lines makes it much more readable.

In the "January 2024" section, "On 7 January" portion, "servicemembers" needs a space added.

In the "January 2024" section, "On 21 January 2024" portion, "transitting" should not have double "t".

In the "May 2024" section, "On 10 May" portion", "borh" should be "both".

In the "August 2024" section, "On 7 August" portion, I believe "forment" should be "foment" unless it is a U.K. spelling I'm unfamiliar with.

In the "October 2024" section, "On 28 October" portion, "havs" should be "have".

In the "December 2024" section, "On 23 December" portion, "trested" should be "treated".

In the "December 2024" section, "On 26 December" portion, "infrastucture" should be "infrastructure".

In the "December 2024" section, "A ballistic missile lanched" portion, "lanched" should be "launched".

In the "January 2025" section, "The Houthis during the night of 11 January" portion, "woth" should be "with".

In the "January 2025" section, "The United Nations stated" portion, "susending" should be "suspending".
