On Tuesday October 31, Yemen attacked Israel. This state used powerful weapons.
When Hamas attacked Israel on Saturday, October 7, many experts and politicians warned that new players could be drawn into the war. This seems to be exactly what is happening.

What is known
The Yemeni army spokesman’s statements are very bellicose. Yahya Sarie Anu speaks of “Israeli-American aggression” against the Gaza Strip and explains that the shelling of Israel is support for fellow Muslims in Palestine.
In a series of posts on social network X, formerly known as Twitter, he made his position clear.
Our armed forces launched a large batch of ballistic and cruise missiles and many drones against various targets of the Israeli enemy in the occupied territories,
– he wrote.
Yahya accuses Israel of genocide of the Palestinian people and blockade of the Gaza Strip. He calls the State of Israel itself a “hostile Zionist entity” that allegedly destabilizes the region.
“The position of our Yemeni people on the Palestinian issue is firm and principled: the Palestinian people have every right to self-defense and to obtain their full legal rights,” he wrote.
The speaker also notes that “the Arab peoples had to have their say.”
These statements were probably well thought out, since the messages were preceded by an announcement of an “important announcement for the armed forces.” There is also a video recording of the speech of the speaker of the Yemeni army.
This is the third attack aimed at Israel, a spokesman for the group said, warning that “more are to come.” Iran, which backs Hamas, is widely accused of supporting the Houthis, the Sunni-majority movement fighting Yemen’s government since 2004.
– writes Sky News.
What exactly was launched in Israel?
The Israeli response set a precedent: a ballistic missile (probably a Toufan) was intercepted by the IDF using the Arrow 3 missile defense system. It is the most powerful air defense system, and this is its first use in combat conditions.
