The Iran-backed Houthis release footage of yesterday’s ballistic missile attack on central Israel yesterday.
According to an Israeli Air Force probe, the missile launched from Yemen was hit by an Arrow 3 interceptor over Israeli airspace, causing it to break apart in the air.
Shrapnel from the Houthi missile impacted open areas in the Ben Shemen forest, sparking a fire, and shrapnel from interceptors hit a train station near Modiin, causing slight damage.
The IAF has found that the missile was not a hypersonic projectile, as the Houthis have claimed.
