The Israel Defense Forces confirmed a news on the evening of the 19th, that is, the Houthis in Yemen recently used a missile for the first time and hit Israel's homeland.
Although the missiles used in this air strike on Israel carried only tens of kilograms of explosives, they are nothing compared to the rockets fired by Hamas. The Israel Broadcasting Corporation's Channel 13 described the incident as a "serious mistake of great significance." ”
There are two main reasons for this, which is that they have to face one more air raid front, and Israel already needs to face missiles and rockets from Iraq, Iran, Hamas, Allah, Syrian government forces, and now there is one more Yemeni Houthi.
And the more important thing is that the Israeli air defense system did not react to this missile at all.
This is very scary, do you remember the last time the Houthis in Yemen attacked Israel proper?
The answer is last November, when Saudi Arabia's Patriot missile, activated by the U.S. military through its backdoor, directly intercepted the Houthi missile fired into Israel. It was that incident that made the Houthis realize that it was basically impossible to strike Israel across the entire Arabian Peninsula with US air defenses completely infiltrating Saudi Arabia.
That's why they turned to the Red Sea lanes to intercept ships supporting Israel. In this way, they want to force Western countries to abandon their support for Israel.
But during this attack, the Israeli air defense system did not respond, and the American air defense system did not respond. Then there are only two possibilities. One is from Saudi Arabia to the Persian Gulf and then to Israel, all the US air defense positions along the way, the Israeli air defense forces, and the US air defense equipment above Saudi Arabia are all in a state of dereliction of duty. But I don't think it's possible, with such a large distance, it's impossible for every radar station to neglect its duties, right?
The remaining possibility is that Yemen's Houthis have some kind of weapon that can evade air defense systems or evade their attacks. Speaking of which, do you remember what I mentioned in other videos earlier, Iran is suspected of providing hypersonic tactical missiles to the Houthis in Yemen? Although these missiles do not have the ability to maneuver and change orbits, their own hypersonic speed already has unparalleled power and deterrence.
Although the news does not link the two events, and there is no evidence that Iran sent weapons to the Houthis in Yemen. But I personally suspect that there must be a connection between these things, otherwise there is no way to explain the change from Yemen not having the ability to carry out long-range strikes against Israel in November, and now they have been able to hit Israel proper.
It can be said that the successful landing of the Houthi missile on Israeli soil this time has added a new way for the Houthis to strike at Israel. The current situation in Israel is so bad that every time the anti-Israel coalition adds another means of attacking Israel, it risks being the straw that breaks the camel's back.
And that's not the worst thing, the worst thing for Israel is that Iran is really able to produce this hypersonic missile that the radar has no time to react to, on its own, by virtue of its own industry.
Can they give these missiles to Yemen today, will they be able to give them to Lebanon and Syria tomorrow, are they themselves equipped with these missiles, how many are they equipped with, how powerful are they? In any case, these missiles have become a sword of Damocles hanging over the head of Israel and even the European Union.
Israel does not want to be bombed by the enemy in a way that is clearly arranged, especially in the face of such a blow that it does not know how to deal with, and the rest of Europe certainly does not like it.
Who said that if you launch from the Middle East, you can't hit Europe? If you can hit Israel today, you can hit the EU tomorrow. In short, if I were stationed in Europe and the United States, I would have already started to pack up and run away by now. After all, Russia is the real threat now, and I don't think Europe and the United States will come in and save Israel. At least the aid won't be that big.
Even if you don't fight the EU itself, it's okay. Yemen is 2,000 kilometers away from Israel, a distance that is almost enough for Yemen to block shipping to the Suez Canal in the northern Indian Ocean. You say that the EU is uncomfortable or not.
Houthi spokesman Yahya Sari said the Houthis fired multiple cruise missiles at Eilat. He also stressed that these actions are in support of the Palestinian people while responding to the aggression of the United States and the United Kingdom against Yemen.
If Israel goes any further, then they are not far from wandering again.
