The Houthi group has also boasted of using a “hypersonic ballistic missile known as ‘Palestine 2’ to target an Israeli military installation in Yaffa in central Israel.”
Meanwhile, the US and UK have launched more airstrikes on Yemen’s strategic Houthi rebel-held Hudaydah area.
Israel is expected to be planning a counterattack on the Iran-backed Houthis. According to the Jerusalem Post:
Israel has lost patience with the Houthis and may be ready to act…. the cost of shooting down ballistic missiles can be as high as two to three million dollars per interceptor…Estimates are that the Houthis have fired around a dozen ballistic missiles and drones at Israel since the start of November, including several in the last two weeks.
“IDF downs Houthi missile fired at central Israel from Yemen,” JNS, December 16, 2024:
Air-raid sirens pealed in the greater Tel Aviv area on Monday afternoon after Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists fired a missile at the Jewish state from Yemen, the Israel Defense Forces confirmed.
“Following alerts that were activated a short time ago in central Israel, one missile that was launched from Yemeni territory was intercepted and shot down before it crossed into Israeli territory,” the IDF said.
Air-raid sirens were activated to warn civilians for the possibility of falling missile fragments following the interception, the army said.
The Magen David Adom emergency response group said it treated five people who were lightly injured while running for cover amid the attack. The injured were evacuated to a hospital for treatment, MDA added.
Earlier on Monday, an Israeli Navy ship intercepted a drone over the Red Sea that was launched by the Houthis….

Israelis are entitled to defend their own ancestral homeland.
The lefties and media won’t get this but it is explained in Zechariah chpts 12-14.Israel has certain promises about Jerusalem[Zechariah 12 v 9,Zechariah 14 v12}that are really bad news for nations that attack Israel.
There is no point explaining this to those who clearly don’t understand Zechariah but Jews and Christians should get it:the enemies of Israel wont.
.I usually have to reread Zechariah 14 v 12 a few times….my goodness Jerusalem is THAT important to God..
I don’t worry about Prophecy but it is important to know it.
The Globalist elite are surely the ones in Daniel 7 v 23-27 but you can see that it ends in God’s favor
in .v 27

The Houthis. Are they related to the Morlocks?
Past time to end their terrorism.
Andrew Blackadder says
Where do the Houtis get such weapons and who taught them how to use them.
Where are those weapons made as I doubt they are made in Yemen so blow the factory to hell that makes the weapons and then shoot at the people firing them.
Cut off the head of the Snake.
James Lincoln says
Anyone who thinks that it is “good idea” to mess with Israel’s IDF has rocks for brains.
