The Yemeni military launched a bold military operation targeting Tel Aviv on Sunday, showcasing their advanced capabilities and exposing the failings of Israeli air defense systems. In solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, the missile strike caused chaos in the heart of Tel Aviv, with widespread damage and injuries reported.
The missile, believed to be hypersonic, hit various locations in Tel Aviv, demonstrating maneuverability and accuracy. The Yemeni military successfully evaded Israeli defenses, highlighting significant vulnerabilities in the much-touted systems. Despite Israeli claims of interception attempts, the missile reached its intended target near Jaffa.
Brigadier General Yahya Saree of the Yemeni Armed Forces confirmed the use of a new hypersonic ballistic missile, traveling over 2,000 km in record time. This successful operation marks a significant advancement for Yemen’s military capabilities and a stark failure for Israeli air defenses.
The operation questions the effectiveness of billion-dollar defense systems and poses a new challenge for Israeli security in the region. The event underscores the ongoing conflict and the evolving strategies of involved parties.
