The IDF released its initial inquiry into the launching and failure to intercept a Houthi ballistic missile which landed in central Israel today (Sunday), according to Israel Hayom.
According to the initial report, Israel's defense systems did hit the missile, which was launched from thousands of kilometers away in Yemen, but it failed to entirely destroy it, leading to parts of the missile and the interceptors landing in a number of spots in Israel.
The target of the missile fired this morning from Yemen, which fell in the Ben Shemen Forest area, was a strategic facility in the central region, as revealed this morning by one of the senior members of the Houthi terrorist organization. However, he refused to disclose what the target was and said that Israel and the United States are aware of it.
"We are facing a long road of responses from the Houthis, and this is just the beginning," said Nasruddin Amer, emphasizing that the missile launched from Yemen had a specific target, which he cannot disclose. He added that the military statement to be broadcast soon will not include an explanation of the type of attack target, but it will include other important details.
According to Roi Kais's report, Amer added that "We don't usually reveal the type of target for tactical reasons, but without a doubt, we have a large, important, and strategic target bank deep within enemy territory. In the past, the drone reached an area we didn't disclose, but Israel understood what the target was, and the Americans also understood what the target was, and now they are also aware of the attack target."
