Smoke billows in central Israel after a missile attack from Yemen on Sept 15.ADEN — Hamas chief Yehya Sinwar congratulated Yemen's Houthi group for its missile attack on Israel over the weekend and said this sent a message to their foe, the Houthi Al-Massirah TV reported on Sept 16, underscoring fears the war in Gaza could erupt into a wider regional conflict.
But the latest Houthi strike, and the threat of Israeli retaliation, were a reminder of how the nearly year-old war in Gaza between Hamas and Israel could still broaden into a full-blown regional conflict, despite American efforts to contain the crisis. The Houthis on Sept 16 published an almost two-minute video of what they said was the "hypersonic" Palestine 2 missile being launched in the attack on Israel. The word "hypersonic" was written on the side of missile in red letters.
"It possesses high ability to manoeuvre beyond the world's newest and most powerful air defence systems, including the Iron Dome," the group said.If the Houthis did have a hypersonic missile, it would be a first for the mountain fighters known more their audacious attacks than their technological prowess.
