A ballistic missile launched tonight from Yemen fell within Saudi Arabian territory, failing to reach its intended target near Israel. This marks the first such launch since a reported Israeli strike in Sana'a aimed at thwarting Houthi leadership. The missile's failure comes amid reports from Sky News Arabic, citing sources, that Houthi leadership has issued strict guidelines prohibiting large gatherings of senior officials following an unspecified attack last Thursday. These new directives reportedly mandate highly limited and secret meetings for the organization's top ranks. Since the renewal of fighting in the Gaza Strip, a total of 73 ballistic missiles have been launched from Yemen towards Israel. Approximately 21 of these missiles, nearly 30%, have fallen en route, indicating a significant rate of ineffectiveness. The specific details and success of the recent Israeli strike in Sana'a remain unconfirmed, though Israeli officials express optimism regarding its outcome.
