Israel Intercepts Houthi Hypersonic Missile from Yemen Using THAAD System
Dec 30, 2024, 09:15 PM
Israel utilized the U.S.-provided Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system for the first time to intercept a missile launched by Yemen's Houthi group. The interception occurred within the last 24 hours, following recent Israeli airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen, including Sanaa International Airport. The deployment of THAAD is part of efforts to enhance Israel's defense capabilities amid escalating regional tensions. The Houthi group claimed to have launched a 'hypersonic ballistic missile' at Tel Aviv, which was successfully intercepted by Israel. The conflict has raised concerns about its impact on humanitarian efforts in Yemen, with the United Nations warning that airstrikes on Sanaa airport could paralyze aid operations. Yemen is currently facing a severe humanitarian crisis, with over half its population in need of assistance.
