Houthis "Attack" Israel’s Defence Ministry, Fire “Hypersonic Ballistic Missiles” Thrice in 12 Hours

Yemen’s Houthi rebels claimed to have launched three ballistic missile attacks on Israel on January 13-14, targeting Tel Aviv’s Ministry of Defence with a Palestine-2 hypersonic missile. Yahya Saree, the Houthi military spokesperson, stated that the missile bypassed Israeli defences and hit its target. Additionally, drones were deployed in a major operation targeting key sites in Tel Aviv. The strikes triggered sirens in Israel, forcing residents into shelters. The IDF reported intercepting the first missile but was uncertain about the second. In northern Gaza, five Israeli soldiers were killed, and 10 injured in a blast during a mission. President Joe Biden asserted Iran is weaker due to sanctions and allied actions while crediting US foreign policy for disrupting Iran’s influence. Biden also highlighted the diminished strength of authoritarian states like Iran, Russia, China, and North Korea.
