The Houthis launched a barrage of ballistic missiles at Israel, hitting targets in the city of Eilat. Videos show that at least one rocket hit Israeli territory, contradicting the Israeli announcement that they were intercepted by an Arrow system over Red Sea.
However, the arsenal of the Houthis is impressive. The ballistic attack penetrated multiple layers of US-Israeli air defenses in Eritrea to reach Eilat. We remind you that a few days earlier the Houthis also shot down an American MQ-9 Reaper drone
Houthi military spokesman Yahya Shareh said "the movement" fired "a bunch of ballistic missiles at various targets of the Israeli enemy in the occupied Palestinian territories," including the city of Eilat in southern Israel.
It added that the launch came 24 hours after "another military operation carried out by the movement with drones on the same targets".
It should be noted that there are signs of saturation of the Israeli air defense from the Hamas-Hezbollah-Houthi attacks, with the result that the rockets are now reaching Tel Aviv.
Some Iron Dome systems have experienced malfunctions and it appears that target interception is now an option.
That's why the US is again sending shipments of anti-aircraft missiles.
Al-Qassam launched a rocket barrage toward Tel Aviv a short while ago. The Iron Dome failed to intercept two of the rockets. Report from MGD: Two settlers were injured due to rocket shrapnel in Tel Aviv. The following depicts the impact of one of the rockets.
One of the missiles launched by the Al Qassam Brigades towards Tel Aviv crossed the Iron Dome and crashed into a building.
The leader of Yemen's Ansar Allah rebel movement, also known as the Houthis, which controls the north of the country, threatened on Tuesday to attack Israeli ships in the Red Sea in support of Palestinian movements in the Gaza Strip.
"Our attacks on the enemy with rockets and drones will continue. Our planning for additional operations will continue against all Zionist installations we can reach in Palestine or outside Palestine, and we will not hesitate to do so.
He said that "the eyes of the Houthis are open to constantly monitor and search for any Israeli ship in the Red Sea, especially in the Bab el-Madeb Strait and in the waters bordering Yemeni waters, although Israeli ships disable devices in the Red Sea , they won't be able to hide ," adding that the Houthis " will look for the (Israeli) ships and will not hesitate to attack them."
He added that the Houthi attacks on Israel "will not stop until [the] Israeli attack on the Palestinian people in Gaza stops . "
