Houthi Rebels launch Hypersonic Missile Strikes Against Israel in Retaliation
In a dramatic escalation of tensions, Yemen’s Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for two separate missile strikes targeting Israel, asserting these actions are a response to ongoing israeli attacks on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.The rebel group, through its spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Sari, announced that they successfully targeted Ben Gurion International Airport, utilizing domestically developed Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missiles. This marks a important growth in the conflict, as the Houthis also claimed to have struck a strategic position near Tel Aviv with their locally enhanced Zulfiqar missiles, known for their radar-evading capabilities and a range exceeding 2,000 kilometers.
The repercussions of these attacks have been immediate and severe.thousands of residents in illegal settlements were forced to seek refuge in shelters as air traffic at Ben Gurion Airport was temporarily halted.The Houthis’ military operations,according to General Sari,achieved their intended objectives,highlighting the growing complexity of the regional conflict. As tensions rise, the implications of these missile strikes could reverberate throughout the Middle east, raising concerns about further escalations and the humanitarian impact on civilians caught in the crossfire.
