In a First, Israel uses US anti-missile THAAD system to counter attacks from Yemen

Yemen’s Houthi forces have escalated their missile campaign against Israel, successfully breaching Israeli defense systems with advanced hypersonic missiles. Between December 19 and 28, the Yemeni military launched 13 missile strikes, primarily targeting Tel Aviv, the heart of Israel’s economy. Despite Israel’s efforts to intercept these missiles, including its advanced defense systems, some strikes have hit critical civilian and military targets. A U.S. report reveals significant weaknesses in Israel’s defense capabilities, especially due to a lack of precise intelligence, and warns that Yemen's relentless attacks are putting Israel’s security under immense strain. The report also highlights the severe economic disruptions caused by the missile strikes, including the closure of the Eilat port. Israeli officials have vowed retaliation, but the situation continues to worsen as Yemeni forces remain undeterred in their operations. #YemenMissileAttack #HouthiMissiles #IsraelDefenseWeakness #IsraelStruggles #MiddleEastTensions #MissileDefensesFail #USReport #HouthiStrike #TelAvivUnderAttack #YemenVsIsrael #SecurityBreach #HouthiCampaign #YemeniMissileBlitz #IsraelSecurity #YemenRetaliation Also Read EXPLAINED | Is Yemen The Next Battleground In Israel's Campaign Against Iranian-backed Militias? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/explained-is-yemen-the-next-battleground-in-israels-campaign-against-iranian-backed-militias-4026285.html?ref=DMDesc Major World Events In 2024: Top 10 Moments That Shaped The Year! :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/major-world-events-in-2024-top-10-moments-that-shaped-the-year-global-natural-disaster-syria-4021587.html?ref=DMDesc Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu Confirms Troop Presence in Syrian Buffer Zone for Security Reasons :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-occupation-buffer-zone-syria-security-011-4018801.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~ED.102~HT.334~
