Yemen's Houthis Claim Hypersonic Missile, UAV Attack on Israel: one shot down, the other evaporated in the ether
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The Houthis from the Yemeni rebel movement Ansar Allah carried out massive strikes on targets in Tel Aviv and Eilat, using missiles and drones. This was stated on October 7 by the movement's military spokesman Yahya Saria to the Al Masirah TV channel.

Saria explained that two missiles were used, one of which was hypersonic-dimensional. The strikes were carried out on military targets in Israel.

"We carried out two operations as part of the fifth phase of escalation, successfully hitting two targets," the Houthi spokesman said.

During the first operation, two military targets in Tel Aviv were hit with Palestine-2 and Zu Fikar missiles.

The Air Force also launched several drones at targets in the Jaffa and Umm al-Rashrash areas in southern occupied Palestine.

As reported by Regnum News Agency, Yemeni Houthis have attacked over 190 ships linked to Israel, the United States and Great Britain since October 7, 2023. This was stated by the leader of the Ansar Allah movement, Abdel Malik al-Houthi, on October 6.

Over the past year, militants have fired more than 1,000 missiles and drones, attacking 193 ships linked to Israel and its allies, and shot down 11 American MQ-9 Reaper reconnaissance and attack drones.

Yemen has been hit by 774 attacks, including bombings, that have killed 82 people and injured around 340 others.

On October 4, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) reported striking 15 targets in Yemen. The targets were said to be linked to Yemen's Houthi rebels. The strikes included offensive weapons.

The Houthis said they had attacked 193 ships during the year.
Since October 7, 2023, Yemeni Houthis have attacked over 190 ships linked to Israel, the United States of America and Great Britain.
Sometimes the link is that the attacked ship is in the water just like ships connected to Israel, America, and Britain, but it’s not fair to ask Yemeni jihadis for any deeper understanding than that. Do go on, O Russian apologetics writer:
This was stated on Sunday, October 6, by the leader of the rebel Shiite movement Ansar Allah, Abdel Malik al-Houthi.

"The results of Yemen's operations include striking the Israeli enemy in occupied Palestine and attacking ships associated with it in the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean," Al Masirah TV channel quotes him as saying.

The Houthi leader said that over the past year, the movement's militants have fired more than 1,000 missiles and drones, attacking 193 ships linked to Israel and its allies in the United States and Britain, and shot down 11 American MQ-9 Reaper reconnaissance and attack drones.

He added that during this period, Yemen was subjected to 774 attacks, including bombings, which killed 82 people and injured about 340 others.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on October 4, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) reported a strike on 15 targets in Yemen. It was claimed that the objects were linked to the Yemeni Houthis. The targets included offensive weapons.

In late September, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced a major Israeli Air Force reconnaissance operation in which F-15 fighter jets and other aircraft attacked Houthi military targets in the Ras Isa and Hodeida areas of Yemen. The Israeli military said the targets included power plants and a seaport used to import oil and ship Iranian weapons to the region.

On September 23, Ansar Allah spokesman Yahya Saria said the Houthis had launched a massive attack on three US Navy destroyers, using 23 cruise and ballistic missiles and UAVs. He said all three destroyers were damaged in the attack.

The view from Israel:
Missile fired from Yemen shot down after triggering sirens across central Israel

[IsraelTimes] Sirens activate due to possibility of falling shrapnel as projectile intercepted with Arrow missile defense system; Houthis claim responsibility

A ballistic missile launched from Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
was successfully intercepted by Israeli air defenses after it triggered sirens across central Israel on Monday, the military said.

The surface-to-surface missile was shot down with the Arrow defense system, which is designed to take out ballistic missiles while they are still outside the atmosphere, the Israel Defense Forces said.

Sirens were triggered across central Israel due to the possibility of falling shrapnel from the interception.

Yemen’s Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
s claimed to have fired two missiles at military targets in central Israel. They said one missile was a Paleostine 2 and it "reached" its target. The group said the second was a Dhu al-Fiqar missile but did not describe its outcome.

The Yemeni group said the operation "successfully achieved its objectives" and it targeted several drones at Jaffa and Eilat. Israel only mentioned the intercepted surface-to-surface missile, without referring to the drones or a second missile.

The rebel group has fired over 220 ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones at Israel over the past year — mostly toward the southernmost city of Eilat — saying that the attacks are in solidarity with Paleostinians in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip, where Israel has been battling Hamas
..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
since the terror group’s October 7 attack.

The latest attack came on the one-year anniversary of the terror onslaught.

On Thursday, the Iran-backed rebel group grabbed credit for overnight drone attacks on central Israel. Two were shot down, while another impacted an open area, the IDF said.

The Houthis have also targeted ships traveling through the Red Sea, which once saw $1 trillion a year of cargo pass through it.

They have targeted more than 80 merchant vessels with missiles and drones since the war in Gaza started last October, including seizing one vessel and sinking two in a campaign that also killed four sailors. Other missiles and drones have either been intercepted by a US-led coalition in the Red Sea or failed to reach their targets, which have included Western military vessels.

The rebels maintain that they target ships linked to Israel, the US, or the United Kingdom to force an end to Israel’s campaign against the Hamas terror group in Gaza. However,
if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well...
many of the ships attacked have little or no connection to the conflict, including some bound for Iran.
