    If Yemen, with limited resources and without even having an unified country can do this, imagine what can the other arab countries achieve?

      I have to assume DPRK would be doing this if they were that close.

        DPRK would have the question of potential nuclear escalation to consider. In their case I think their own nuclear deterrent could also act as a self-deterrent, since that’s how far it could escalate.

      They’re the only country abiding by international law, that’s for sure.

      Bombing Israel isn’t just legal, it is a legal obligation. Every country that is not bombing Israeli military targets is in violation of international law and the responsibility to protect.

      Colombia has cut diplomatic ties and followed through on commitments to end their biggest and most strategically important trade to Israel, coal. And does all the good procedural UN stuff.

    This isn’t the first time they’ve tried to do this. Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e said Israeli airports were an “unsafe area” when they first targeted them over a month ago, but back then the missiles were intercepted. It’s just with the missile not being intercepted this time, and impacting around 500m away from the control tower and main terminal, they have the political capital to make a public announcement like this. The Yemeni Armed Forces have been trying to carry out an air blockade against Israel for some time, since March 22nd 2025 at least.

    I covered this here

      So was there a change in their capabilities, or did a lucky one get thru?

        No change in the type of missile, a Palestine-2 (Fattah-1/Kheibar Shekan variant). Overall in capabilities they’re getting better at evading midcourse interception since the beginning of the campaign, meaning Israel has to use terminal phase interceptors like Arrow-2 or THAAD. Overall 27 ballistic missiles of various types (some maneuverable, some not) have been launched at Israel since March 15, with 25 being partially or fully intercepted, and two direct hits. (92.5% interception rate, 7.5% hit rate). So you could say it’s a lucky hit, or an inevitable one given that 100% interception is impossible. The caveat here is that only one or two missiles are fired at a time by Yemen, if advanced missiles (like Palestine-2/Fattah-1/Kheibar Shekan) get fired in a sufficient volley, the hit rate would be substantially higher, even with THAAD in the picture.

    If I were Israel I would call the bluff. If the Houthis shoot down a plane of civilians, it will solidify support around Israel and make them appear the victim.

    If this makes commercial airlines think twice though, or jack up prices, that is a good thing
