Houthis Fire Ballistic Missiles At Eilat, Intercepted By Arrow 3 Outside Isreal. by cl0r0x: 8:58am On Jul 21 |
The long-range Arrow 3 defense system intercepted a ballistic missile outside of Israeli airspace launched by the Iran-backed Houthis from Yemen early Sunday morning, the IDF said. The Arrow 3 system is designed to take out ballistic missiles while they are still outside of the atmosphere. Sirens sounded in Israel’s southernmost city of Eilat — which has been a frequent target of missile and drone attacks by the Houthis in Yemen — amid fears of falling shrapnel. The Houthis claimed to have targeted Eilat with multiple ballistic missiles, though there were no immediate reports of impacts in the region. It was the first attack by the Iran-backed rebels since Israel carried out a major strike against the Houthi-controlled port of Hodeida in western Yemen on Saturday, a day after a drone launched by the group killed an Israeli man in Tel Aviv. https://www.timesofisrael.com/idf-shoots-down-missile-heading-to-israel-in-1st-houthi-attack-since-yemen-port-strike/ |
