On September 15, 2024, Houthi rebels from Yemen launched a series of missile attacks on Israel. Reports suggest that the attack involved hypersonic ballistic missiles, which covered a distance of 2040 kilometers in just 11 and a half minutes. The world is now astonished at the technology the Houthi rebels possess.
A spokesperson for the Houthi military, Yahya Sarea, stated that their missiles targeted Israel. Israeli forces reported that air sirens were blaring and explosions were heard. Many missiles were destroyed mid-air by the Iron Dome and Arrow air defense systems, but a few did land, causing no damage.

Watch the Houthi Rebels' Missiles Video
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the Houthi rebels would pay a heavy price for this. However, questions arise about how Yemen acquired such powerful ballistic missiles. It is possible that Houthi rebels received these ballistic missiles from Iran. However, Iran’s range of hypersonic missiles, such as the Fateh-1, only covers 1400 kilometers and could not reach this distance.

Yahya mentioned that their missiles targeted military installations in the Jaffa area of Israel within 11 minutes, covering a distance of 2040 kilometers. These missiles instilled fear in 2 million Israelis. Although he did not disclose the names of the missiles, videos were released.
Meanwhile, Israel claimed that no hypersonic ballistic missiles caused any damage. All missiles were ballistic and achieved hypersonic speed momentarily during their course. Of all the incoming missiles, only 20 landed, but they fell in open areas causing no harm.

American Warships, Saudi Arabia Failed to Track the Missiles
The problem is that while the missiles traveled from Yemen to Israel, American warships Michael Murphy and Frank E. Peterson Jr., and FS Chevalier Paul in the Red Sea, failed to intercept them. Neither Israel's nor Saudi Arabia's air defense systems could stop them.
