IDF says it shot down cruise missile — apparently fired by Houthis — over Red Sea
|
[IsraelTimes] The Israel Defense Forces said Wednesday a fighter jet successfully shot down an incoming cruise missile over the Red Sea, close to the southernmost city of Eilat.
The missile is believed to have been fired by the Iran-backed Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth . Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...

war last month, all of which were intercepted or missed their targets. On Sunday, Houthis seized the Galaxy Leader, an Israel-linked fat merchantman sailing in the Red Sea.
The IDF said the missile did not enter Israeli territory. Air raid sirens went off in the southern resort city of Eilat around the time of the incident.
An F-35 stealth plane was sent out to intercept the missile, the military said. It did not specify how far the weapon was from the country when the jet shot it down.
Though no group took responsibility, Hezam al-Asad, a member of the Iran-backed Houthi’s political bureau, wrote on the social media platform X, in Hebrew, "What is happening in Eilat?"
Al-Asad occasionally posts Hebrew-language taunts at Israel.
