Military and strategic expert Major General Fayez Al-Duwairi has raised alarms regarding Israel's defense capabilities following a missile strike from Yemen. This incident, which injured nine Israelis, has sparked significant concerns about the effectiveness of Israel's renowned Iron Dome and Arrow defense systems. Al-Duwairi's analysis highlights the inherent limitations of air defense systems, noting that they cannot track every incoming threat, leading to questions about Israel's preparedness against multiple adversaries.
The Houthi military spokesman, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, claimed responsibility for the missile attack, describing it as a targeted operation against a military site in Jaffa. Al-Duwairi speculates that the missile may have originated from Iraq, suggesting a coordinated effort between the Houthis and other resistance groups in the region. With tensions escalating and the potential for further attacks, the situation remains precarious for Israel, raising fears of a broader conflict involving Hezbollah and Iranian forces.
