Yemen: Recent Yemeni strikes deep inside Israeli-occupied territories using hypersonic missiles have raised alarm among Israeli and US defense experts, exposing vulnerabilities in multi-layered defense systems long promoted as a protective shield.

Military analysts say the use of hypersonic technology marks a turning point, moving the threat from a theoretical concern to an operational reality. Missiles traveling at speeds exceeding Mach 13 and executing advanced maneuvers have reportedly outpaced interception systems such as Arrow-2, Arrow-3, David’s Sling, and US-made THAAD, SM-3, and SM-6.

The failure of these systems during Iran’s True Promise 3 operation—which struck targets in Jaffa, Haifa, and Beersheba—highlighted gaps in radar detection and interception capabilities. Israeli officials have since announced plans to accelerate the development of new systems, including Arrow-4 and advanced radar technologies in cooperation with US firms.

However, defense experts caution that the unique characteristics of hypersonic weapons—combining extreme speed with maneuverability—make interception “nearly impossible” with current technology. This has prompted a reassessment of Israeli defense doctrines and large-scale investment in research and development.

Thus, the achievements of hypersonic missiles represent a turning point that transcends tactical dimensions and penetrates the very core of Zionist defense doctrine. The enemy entity is now exposed, with its defense technologies incapable of protecting even a single kilometer of the territories it occupies in Palestine. Its claims of developing new defense systems amount to nothing more than a desperate attempt to patch up a shattered defense strategy.

Today, hypersonic missiles are not merely a deterrent weapon but a balance-breaking force that imposes a new battlefield reality. The Zionist entity can no longer predict a strike, intercept it, or even deal with its devastating consequences deep in its strategic heartland.

Yemen's operations are part of a broader campaign to support the Palestinian people, disrupt enemy logistics, and challenge the perception of Israeli and US dominance in the region. The Yemeni stance reinforces its position as a key player in the resistance axis, signaling that assaults on civilian infrastructure will not deter their ongoing efforts to aid Gaza and confront the Israeli aggression.
