The occupation army’s investigation revealed the reason for the failure of the defense system to intercept the Yemeni missile, indicating that this was due to the fact that the missile was launched from a low ballistic trajectory or in an unexpected direction, which made it difficult to monitor and intercept it in a timely manner.
According to investigations by the occupation army, it is believed that the ballistic missile was carrying a maneuvering warhead capable of changing its course in the last third of its flight, to ensure that the target was accurately hit. The missile may have relied on advanced technology that made it difficult for air defense systems to maneuver to intercept it.
The Yemeni ballistic missile
The Houthis claimed responsibility for launching the missile, and stated that the operation comes within the fifth stage of escalation, stressing that they will continue to strike vital targets in Israel.
The Houthis explained in an official statement carried by Cairo News Channel that the Palestine 2 missile used was hypersonic and traveled a distance of 2,040 kilometers in 11 minutes and 30 seconds.
