Why is the Zionist regime powerless against Yemeni missiles?
The extent of the inability of the Israeli air defense systems to intercept ballistic missiles and drones fired by the Yemeni armed forces has been an important issue for regional and international media in recent hours, and they have examined this issue in reports.
Al Jazeera wrote in a report on this matter that the Paykan (Arrow) system and other Israeli air defense systems failed again on Saturday morning to intercept Yemeni hypersonic ballistic missiles called Palestine 2, and these missiles landed in the Jaffa area near Tel Aviv.
Two days earlier, two surface-to-surface ballistic missiles were fired by Yemeni forces near Tel Aviv, injuring 20 people and damaging about 100 residential buildings.
Al Jazeera adds that this is the ninth time this December that the Yemeni armed forces have fired ballistic missiles and drones at the occupied territories, and the third time in the past five days that alarm sirens have sounded in the center of the occupied territories and Tel Aviv, and each time more than 2 million Zionists flee to shelters.
Tel Aviv’s inability to intercept Yemeni missiles
The report continues by stating that Yemeni forces have so far fired more than 201 missiles and 170 drones at the occupied territories, and although Israeli military levels are trying to keep the fact of the failure to intercept these missiles and drones a secret, the course of events does not allow this.
The inability and repeated failure of the Israeli air defense systems to interact with missiles fired from Yemen shows Tel Aviv’s lack of preparedness in terms of intelligence and technology. In this regard, the Israeli military intelligence service “Aman” is trying to strengthen its information on missile launch pads in Yemen.
On the other hand, the Israeli air defense systems fired dozens of interceptor missiles at a Yemeni ballistic missile on Saturday but were unable to destroy it. This shows that Yemen is a strategic threat to the Israeli regime, and this is in a situation where Israeli military analysts believe that Tel Aviv cannot eliminate this threat.
Al Jazeera, citing senior Israeli analysts, writes that Israel is trying to keep the dimensions of these failures secret from public opinion, and always claims that the high number of injuries is due to falling shrapnel from interceptor missiles.
“Yoav Zeytun,” a military analyst for the Zionist newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, also pointed to the failure of the regime’s air defense systems in intercepting Yemeni missiles and emphasized that in a situation where the Hayat system failed in this operation and other systems are also ineffective, who wants to protect Israel’s airspace from these missiles?
He, who has previously participated in the process of covering up the failure of the Zionist regime’s air systems many times and claimed “partial interception of missiles fired by Yemen,” has admitted for the first time that the Zionist regime failed in intercepting Yemeni ballistic missiles and has begun an investigation into this failure.
This is while many Zionist experts have expressed doubts about the concept of “partial interception of missiles” and consider it meaningless. Among these people is “Zefika Haimovich”, the commander of one of the Israeli air defense units, who warns about this process and calls for it to be taken seriously.
She adds in her explanation: When a system is intercepted, but the warhead, which contains explosives, continues its path in the air without being destroyed, this process cannot be called “partial interception”, but rather it should be considered a failure of the defense systems in intercepting the missile.
