ballistic missile

The latest launch from Yemen marked the Houthis' fourth attempt to launch an attack on Israel since early on Thursday morning.

This is the third time this week that the Houthis had targeted the Jerusalem area after a two month pause.

Hajizadeh justified ballistic missile attacks against Israel, saying it was due to Israel's "misconception that Iran would not take direct action."

It seems our enemies are attempting to complicate interception by altering the trajectory of the missile mid-flight, making it harder to predict.

Lockheed Martin developed THAAD, and its primary purpose is to intercept and destroy short- and medium-range ballistic missiles.

“The Houthis pose a threat not only to Israel but to the region and the entire world. The most basic and fundamental step is to designate them as a terrorist organization," Sa'ar said.

The IDF added that the missile did not cross into Israeli territory, however, alerts sounded due to concerns over falling interception debris.

The launch comes as the United States and European countries claim Iran is transferring ballistic missiles to Russia.

The idea of retaliation is inconsistent with the inherent right to use-of-force, in response to an armed attack.

Rather than serving as a finale, Israel’s daring raid should be a prelude to eliminating the Iranian nuclear threat once and for all.
