WATCH: Houthis Post Dramatic Video Of Attack On Eilat, Israel Deploys Missile Ships To Red Sea

The Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen on Wednesday morning published a dramatic video of their launches of missiles and drones toward the city of Eilat on Tuesday and early Wednesday morning.

B’Chasdei Hashem, none of the aerial threats hit their target, with a surface-to-surface missile intercepted by Israel’s new Arrow missile defense system, the first time it was used since the war began, and drones intercepted by Israeli Navy fighter jets. Other projectiles were reported to have been intercepted by “foreign countries.”

Also, as photos on social media attest, at least one cruise missile fell in the southern Jordanian desert, near its border with Saudi Arabia.

Following the launches from Yemen on Tuesday, a Houthi spokesperson announced on television: “Our armed forces launched a large number of ballistic missiles and drones at various targets of the Israeli enemy. This operation is our third in support of our oppressed brothers in Palestine and confirms that we will continue to carry out more qualitative strikes with missiles and drones until the Israeli aggression stops.”

The US Army’s CENTCOM, which is responsible for the US forces in the Middle East, is also deployed in the Red Sea area and intercepted missiles and drones launched by the Houthis two weeks ago. CNN reported that the US forces’ interception of 15 UAVs and four cruise missiles lasted nine hours.
