“Operations were carried out this week using 18 ballistic and cruise missiles and drones. One of the most important of them, which caused great concern among the enemy, was an operation toward Umm Al-Rashrash [Eliat, ed.] with an improved missile,” al-Houthi said in a speech Thursday night.
“The missile was able to reach Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat), bypassing all American and Israeli interception techniques,” the militia leader said, noting that the development has “opened a new horizon” for Yemen’s missile program, and warning that Houthi capabilities to bypass American and Israeli surveillance, jamming and interception technologies and means will prompt “more effective strikes on the enemy in the future.”
“A clear and tangible development in our capabilities is taking place, and the enemy first noticed this during our use of ballistic missiles to target ships at sea,” al-Houthi said.
The Yemeni militia leader says Ansar Allah has launched 479 missiles and drones to date in its four month-long campaign against Israel and Israeli-affiliated shipping, and against US and British warships, ramping up its campaign into the Indian Ocean.
