Further details the Yemeni ballistic missile attack on Israeli targets.
Thanks to the tip from Godefroy.
"Yemen’s Houthis attack Israel with missile, drones"
From https://asiatimes.com | article by STEPHEN BRYEN | NOVEMBER 1, 2023.
"Israeli Arrow air defense system downs ballistic missile; Iranian-backed Houthis earlier had targeted Egypt"
"The Israeli Arrow air defense system intercepted a heavy Houthi missile aimed at Israel’s Red Sea port city of Eilat. An Israeli expert has confirmed it was shot down by Arrow 2, not the exo-atmospheric Arrow 3."
See further a discussion of the Burkan-3 (aka Ghader H, aka Toufan) "Yemeni" missile:
"The 'Yemeni' Burkan Missile Riddle"
"Some remains of the Burkan-H2 missile, which was recovered in Saudi Arabia, were examined and as of Iranian Qiam-1 missile identified."
This Burkan had previously been fired at targets in Saudi. As I recall missiles as fired at Saudi targets intercepted by advanced variety of the American Patriot surface-to-air missile.
"Yemeni" in the sense of not being really Yemeni. Rather an Iranian weapon system giving to the Houthi for real-world testing. There is even a North Korean connection here?
