A #BallisticMissile ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿš€ was launched from #Yemen ๐Ÿ‡พ๐Ÿ‡ช and exploded in an open area near #Modiin:
๐Ÿš€Missile traveled a distance of about 2000 km. The flight time of a Ballistic Missile over such a distance is about 15 minutes. It took a very long time to identify and intercept it.

2โƒฃSeveral interceptors were launched at the missile โ€“ both #Strela and #IronDome systems (these interceptors were launched at large fragments, fearing damage).
3โƒฃThe #Houthis had an open score with #Israel: on July 20, the Air Force attacked the port of #Hodeida, the #Houthis promised to respond, but have not done so yet. Perhaps this morning it was a reaction. Just yesterday, the #Houthi defense minister made threats.
4โƒฃThe #Hez system has now made dozens of successful interceptions since the war began. The #Hez has a nearly 100% success rate โ€“ both in the #Iranian attack on April 14 and in several incidents of ballistic missile launches by the #Houthis in #Yemen ๐Ÿ‡พ๐Ÿ‡ช
5โƒฃ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿš€This is not the first time that the #Houthis have managed to break through #Israel's defenses: in April, a Cruise Missile from #Yemen exploded north of #Eilat, and in July, a #Houthi drone hit #TelAviv and killed a civilian. #Israel ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ
