IAF Probes Air Defense Failure After Houthi Missile Breaches Israeli Systems

The Israeli Air Force is investigating why air defense systems failed to intercept the Houthi missile launched at Israel on Friday night, including the possibility that the missile contained cluster munitions. Iran fired several cluster munitions, which fire smaller explosives over a wide area, during Operation Rising Lion. Initial reports said that the missile disintegrated in midair over Israel, and several interceptors launched at the fragments failed to intercept them, including Israel’s Arrow, David’s Sling, and Iron Dome systems and the American THAAD system.

IAF Attacks Houthis In Yemen Amid Reports Of Plans For Large-Scale Attack

Israel’s Air Force is carrying out strikes against the Houthi targets in Sanaa, including missile bases, a power plant, and the presidential palace, local media reported late Sunday afternoon. The report comes on the same day that an IDF investigation revealed that for the first time, the Houthis fired a missile containing Iranian cluster munitions at Israel on Friday night. Earlier on Sunday, Walla reported that Israel is preparing to carry out a large-scale strike against the Houthis.     According to a political source quoted by the report, IDF intelligence and Mossad officials are compiling an extensive list of Houthi military targets. Despite claims by senior IDF officials in recent months that striking the Houthis is challenging because most of their critical military targets are underground, the political source said that “the Houthis are conquerable. They need to be hit simultaneously in their command and control system, ports, military capabilities, and defense industry.” In June, the IDF carried out a targeted assassination attempt on the Houthis’ Chief of Staff, Muhammad Abd Gharmari, while he was chewing khat with other senior officials. He survived the attack but was seriously wounded. Since October 7, Houthi missile attacks have forced millions of Israelis into shelters, often in the dead of the night. Israel has carried out multiple retaliatory strikes on Houthi targets, but the attacks on Israel have continued. (YWN Israel Desk—Jerusalem)

In A First, Houthis Fired Cluster Munitions At Israel, IDF Says

An initial investigation by the Air Force in the wake of the failure to intercept the Houthi missile launched at Ben Gurion Airport on Friday night revealed that the missile was equipped with a cluster bomb warhead. It is the first time that the Iranian-backed Houthis fired cluster munitions at Israel. Iran attacked Israel with several missiles with cluster munitions, which fire smaller explosives over a wide area, during Operation Rising Lion. The IDF stated that the failure to intercept the missile is being thoroughly investigated but does not stem from the type of missile itself. “The air defense systems, and in particular the upper layer, are capable of intercepting missiles of this type, as they have done in the past,” an IDF spokesperson said.

IDF Investigating If Houthis Used Iranian Cluster Munitions In Friday Night’s Attack

The Israeli Air Force is investigating why air defense systems failed to intercept the Houthi missile launched at Israel on Friday night, including the possibility that the missile contained cluster munitions. Iran fired several cluster munitions, which fire smaller explosives over a wide area, during Operation Rising Lion. Initial reports said that the missile disintegrated in midair over Israel, and several interceptors launched at the fragments failed to intercept them, including Israel’s Arrow, David’s Sling, and Iron Dome systems and the American THAAD system. One of the fragments exploded in the yard of a home in the Ginaton moshav, near Ben-Gurion Airport. B’Chasdei Hashem, the homeowner had entered her bomb shelter and was not injured, but her home sustained light damage. Shortly after the attack, a senior Houthi official published a video saying that “this is a historic moment in which a Yemeni missile split up into several missiles over Israel.” A Houthi spokesperson later claimed responsibility for the attack, saying that the terror group launched a Palestine 2 hypersonic ballistic missile at Ben-Gurion Airport and claimed that the missile can travel at 16 times the speed of sound and has stealth technology to evade radar.
