Israel's Iron Dome Stumbles: Houthi Missile Attack Exposes Security Gaps

Israel's Iron Dome defense system faced a significant challenge when a Houthi ballistic missile was launched, resulting in a failure to intercept despite its previous success against Iranian missiles. This incident raises concerns about Israel's security strategy, particularly regarding its focus on threats from Iran and Hezbollah while potentially neglecting the Houthi threat from the south. The missile landed in an uninhabited area, creating a deep crater and highlighting the potential consequences had the attack targeted a more populated region. Analysts are calling for increased military resources and attention to the southern front, emphasizing the need for readiness against potential coordinated missile attacks.
