The Houthis fired a ballistic missile that traveled some 2,000 kilometers toward Israel before being partially intercepted by Israeli air defenses. A day later, the group released footage of the solid-fuel missile used in the attack, dubbed Palestine 2, which resembled the Iranian Kheibar Shekan. The group claimed the missile had hypersonic maneuvering capabilities, but Israel's military disputed the claim.
