On December 25, 2024, the spokesperson of the Houthi armed forces announced that in the early morning, the Houthis in Yemen would carry out attacks on areas occupied by Israel in the coming week.

In the early morning of the 25th, the warning for a sudden missile attack in central Israel sounded again. Millions of Israelis panicked and flocked to shelters. Soon a huge explosion sounded in the city of Ashkelon. A strategic power plant was successfully hit, and flames shot into the sky. This scene comes from a "Palestine-2" hypersonic missile in the hands of Yemen's Houthi armed forces.

On December 31, Houthi armed forces launched an all-round attack on the Israeli-occupied Tel Aviv area, Ben Gurion International Airport, Israeli-controlled power stations, and the USS Truman aircraft carrier battle group.

Yahya said that victory was achieved for the harm suffered by the Palestinian people, but also for the victory in retaliation for Israel's harm to Yemen. It successfully attacked military targets in the Israeli-occupied territories. This operation was successful. And now Israel is carrying out a serious genocide war in Gaza, so in the future, the Houthis will not stop attacking Israel.

During this period of time, there is an amount of fake news that Yemeni spokesperson Yahya Sariya was "bombed to death". And this consecutive speech for several days has strongly dispelled this rumor.

The Israeli media once reported that the Houthis had launched at least 10 missiles, but it was quickly confirmed that there was actually only one. This missile accurately hit Israel's key infrastructure, achieving maximum strategic effect.

Israel’s air defense systems, including the Iron Dome defense system and the US-made THAAD anti-missile system, were unable to cope with this attack. The missile successfully broke through the interceptor and hit the target directly, causing a huge explosion in the power plant and the scene was a sea of ​​fire.

This operation not only demonstrated the strong cohesion and combat effectiveness of the Houthi armed forces in Yemen, but also further consolidated its important position in the "Axis of Resistance" military group led by Iran.

Israel's proud air defense system completely failed when faced with this missile from the Houthi armed forces. It stands to reason that "Iron Dome" specializes in intercepting short-range rockets, the "Arrow-3" system targets ballistic missiles, and "THAAD" is even said to be able to counter hypersonic missiles.

Why does the interception fail?

First of all, this Palestine-2 hypersonic missile is not an ordinary missile. With the technical support of Iran, the Houthi armed forces have improved the missiles into ballistic weapons with high maneuverability and speed. More importantly, the missile probably made a small trajectory change before entering the interception area, successfully deceiving the air defense radar.

Secondly, Israel’s air defense system is not “without blind spots”. Facing a long-range strike from 2,000 kilometers away, the response time of the Israeli air defense system is greatly compressed, and the probability of successful interception is naturally reduced.

Of course, this scene is also an embarrassing failure for the United States. After all, the "THAAD" system has always been regarded as the "ultimate weapon" to defend against hypersonic missiles, but its performance in actual combat has been so poor.
