Houthis Unveil Hypersonic “Palestine” Missile Amid Tensions with Israel

Yemen’s Houthi rebels have showcased a new solid-fuel missile named “Palestine,” strikingly similar to an Iranian hypersonic missile, igniting concerns in the region. This missile was launched at Israel’s Eilat, causing air raid alarms but no damage. The Houthis claim local production, though evidence suggests Iranian support, as seen with intercepted shipments.

The missile’s design mirrors Iran’s “Fattah,” capable of Mach 15 speeds and significant range. This development complicates defense strategies due to the missile’s speed and maneuverability, highlighting growing military capabilities in Yemen despite ongoing conflict and international arms embargoes.
