The rebels fired the new ‘Palestine’ missile at the port of Eilat in Israel on Monday.
Yemen’s Houthi rebels have unveiled a new solid-fuel missile that resembles aspects of one earlier displayed by Iran that Tehran said could fly at hypersonic speeds.
The Houthis have been repeatedly armed by Iran during the war despite a United Nations arms embargo. While Iran claims it does not arm the Houthis, ships seized by the US and its allies have found Iranian weaponry, missile fuel and components on board. Iran unveiled the missile last year and claimed it could reach Mach 15 — 15 times the speed of sound. It described the missile’s range as up to 870 miles, which is a little short of Eilat from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, but the missile can be reconfigured to boost its range.
“While we cannot say for sure what exact version the Palestine corresponds to, we can say with high certainty that is is an advanced and precision-guided -developed solid propellant missile provided by Iran,” wrote Fabian Hinz, a missile expert and research fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies.
