Palestine-2 Houthi hypersonic weapons

Nasams Taiwan

by SOFREP

Yemen’s Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for firing a hypersonic missile at central Israel early Sunday, targeting the Tel Aviv area.

Israel’s military intercepted the projectile before it crossed into its territory, triggering sirens in various parts of the country

The Houthis identified the missile as a locally-made “Palestine 2,” part of their efforts to support Iran’s “axis of resistance” against Israel during the ongoing Gaza conflict.

This marks another escalation in the Houthis’ campaign, which has included missile strikes, drone attacks, and disruptions to vital shipping routes in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.

Israel has yet to report damage or casualties from this latest attempt as of writing.
