The Houthis (Ansar Allah) in Yemen announced on October 22 that they had attacked a military base near the central Israeli city of Tel Aviv in support of the “resistance” in the Palestinian enclave of the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.
The base was targeted with “a Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile,” Houthi military spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Sarea said in a statement, noting that “the missile successfully reached its target, bypassing American and Israeli air defenses.”
“The Yemeni Armed Forces affirm that they will continue to carry out military operations against the Israeli enemy until the aggression and the siege on the Gaza Strip, as well as the aggression on Lebanon are over,” he added.
Hypersonic missiles travel and maneuver at least five times faster than the speed of sound at low altitudes in the atmosphere which makes them extremely difficult to track and intercept.
The Palestine-2 is a two-stage solid fuel missile that was first unveiled and used by the Houthis in an attack against Israel in mid-September. The group claims that the missile has a range of over 2,150 kilometers and a top speed equivalent to 16 times the speed of sound.
Commenting on the Houthis’ announcement, the Israeli Defense Forces said that it was unaware of any missiles being launched from Yemen at Israel.
Warning sirens and air defenses were activated in central Israel more than once on October 22. However, this was blamed on attacks by Hezbollah from Lebanon.
Since November, the Houthis, who are backed by Iran, have attacked dozens of vessels affiliated with Israel or owned by the United States and the United Kingdom in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.
The group also launched dozens of drones and missiles at Israel and shot down at least eleven American-made combat drones over Yemen and nearby waters.
The U.S. and the UK have carried out hundreds of strikes against Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen since January. Israel also launched two waves of strikes against civilian infrastructure in al-Hodeidah in July and September. However, the aerial campaign failed to deter the Houthis or degrade their capabilities.

bite okupantov z izraela hlava nehlava!!! treba aby ich už niekto konečne zastavil. robia iba zle v celej oblasti!!! útočia na takmer všetkých na okolo. správajú sa ako besné psy, ktoré sa utrhli z reťaze. svetu mier!!!
ironic that in yemen, where there is nothing to eat or nothing to bomb anymore, they have enough resources to wage a pro-iranian proxy war. something tells me that iran miscalculated with the war against israel and will have hard times with the protection of their civilians, like those fools in gaza and lebanon.
as always, your commentary is 100% inverted. israel hasn’t strick iran because they know how tiny and vulnerable they are. the myth of western supremacy is over.
what do you expect out of chews? they are criminals.
look at that, 40+ likes… including mine, that’s right over the target bang on!
nothing ironic you fool. i’d rather starve to death and have a rocket to shoot up your zionazi ass, rather than eat today and be killed by you genocidal maniacs tomorrow while disarmed and without a chance to fight back.
also let’s not forget the years of wars and siege imposed by israel and it’s allies/pawns. saudis and emiratis didnt bomb and starve yemen with american weapons for their personal reasons, but rather operating as israel/us proxies.
now it’s payback time, and karma is a b*
it’s not iran that has problems it’s the friggin jews, against an enemy of 85 million and a landmass of 1.8 million sqkm plus the key to the. hormuz straight and addition the ways and means to penetrate the stupid jews iron dome, soon to be their doom! at the same time hezbollah and the iraqi resistence and the houthis are letting lose so many drones/missiles that the jews just can’t handle. wowowoe the end of the jews walk on earth is coming to an end.
ironic how shlomo always manages to shed crocodile tears for his victims, professing concern for the welfare of the subhuman goyim.
yep, that’s exactly right.
just continue houthis, you’re on the right track and since the jews can’t open their mouths without lying i would guess that it actually hit the target. more of the same and the jews will run as fast and as far away as possible! friends of mankind, i e not the jews obviously, should cancel all double passports for jews in palestine so they can be live in refugee camps like the pallies.
south africa that started the process before the icj should start cancelling double passports. you’re either a jew in palestine but he/she can’t be an inhabitant in another country at the same time!
“a man cannot serve two masters.” is there anything on god’s earth more vile and repulsive than the zio filth in talmudistan? they make the nazis look like a bunch of choirboys.
zionist baal worshippers made hitler financed him, he is an illegitimate rothschild son. zionist fake jews pushed him into war. just like today they fully control germany.
like a prison camp for war criminals, propagandists, and indoctrinator scum and their enablers and the top level genocidal leadrship, thier ‘mafias’ as well? hmm, i dunna… i doubt anyone wants to deal with these messed up people, genocide is, so it begets. treat the cancer once you are sure it is what it is, and remove it.
the houthis targeted nutteryahoo’s plane with a ballistic missile from 1000 miles away and hit the runway when he was returning from the united snakes. then hezbollah fired a drone at this mansion from lebanon 50-60 miles away. it went through the bedroom window and blew up nutty’s house. shows good intelligence and long range accuracy. little benjy has been soiling his britches ever since.
bravo and now many more please until the zionazi rat is cooked.
ah, c’mon houthis and hezbollah. zero in on netanyahu and make us a video of him in a “chair.”
if iran doesn’t want to look like a weak little twerp after the upcoming israeli attack, they better have a minimum of 500 missiles on standby. because combined us/idf antiballistic missiles have 288 interceptors deployed
wishful thinking.
