The Yemeni Multi-Warhead Missile: Fragments Shatter the Myth of the Iron Dome and Send Millions of Israelis into Shelters
In an unprecedented qualitative development, the Yemeni Armed Forces inaugurated a new phase in their confrontation with the Zionist enemy by launching a hypersonic, fragmenting, multi-warhead ballistic missile that targeted Lod Airport. The strike created extraordinary disruption deep inside the entity, cementing a new military equation that shattered Israel’s most advanced defense systems.
The scene was far from ordinary: millions of settlers rushed to shelters, sirens blared in more than 200 locations, and operations at Lod Airport—renamed “Ben Gurion” by Israel—came to a complete halt. The Zionist defense system appeared exposed before a strategic weapon almost impossible to intercept.
A Fragmenting Missile: The Enemy’s New Nightmare
The Armed Forces announced that the precision strike targeted the occupied Lod Airport with the hypersonic “Palestine-2” missile, stressing that it bypassed all interception systems. The surprise, however, was that the missile did not merely reach its target but fragmented in the skies over occupied Palestine into multiple warheads that hit different areas—footage captured even by settlers’ own cameras.
Enemy media admitted that “police” units dealt with several sites containing missile fragments within the Tel Aviv area. Maariv reported building damage from falling interceptor debris near Lod, while Yedioth Ahronoth confirmed that arrivals and departures at the airport were halted for hours.
Exposed Defenses: Iron Dome Collapses
Despite the launch of interceptors from the “Iron Dome,” “Arrow,” and “Patriot” systems, the Yemeni missile tore through the skies unhindered. Yedioth revealed that the Air Force opened an urgent investigation into the catastrophic failure after fragments caused damage to a railway station and a fire in Kfar Daniel near Lod.
Notably, some fragments even struck enemy air-defense sites themselves. Channel 12 confirmed that one of the splintered warheads nearly killed soldiers at an Iron Dome battery, deepening the military and political embarrassment.
Collective Panic: Millions in Shelters
The most striking scenes were not in military operations rooms but on the streets: millions of settlers running frantically to shelters, their panic documented by their own cameras, as sirens wailed nonstop in over 200 locations from Tel Aviv to Ashkelon.
Israeli medical services admitted casualties—not from direct blasts but from stampedes during desperate attempts to hide. This image exposed clearly that the so-called “Israeli security,” the foundation of the entity’s myth, has become a mirage before a single Yemeni missile.
Expert Testimonies: Strategic Transformation and Complementarity with Gaza
Strategic analyst Ali Haidar stated that the latest Yemeni operation was not a passing strike but carried profound messages to both the Zionist enemy and normalization regimes. He explained that the missile’s success in bypassing Israel’s most advanced air-defense systems—long flaunted before Western allies—proved that the balance has shifted fundamentally. Yemen now possesses qualitative capabilities able to breach Iron Dome, Patriot, and even newly imported U.S. systems.
Haidar added that the Zionist silence over casualties reflects deep confusion and fear of internal demoralization, especially as public trust in the Israeli army erodes.
Lebanese military expert Brig. Gen. Omar Marabouni described the Yemeni strike as one that dismantled the myth of Israeli military superiority—a myth Tel Aviv has relied on for decades to impose regional dominance. He stressed that the introduction of Yemeni missiles and drones into the conflict equation has moved beyond tactical support: it has become a strategic complement to the Palestinian resistance in Gaza. The enemy now faces simultaneous, multi-front threats that overwhelm its system and drain its resources.
Marabouni concluded that Yemeni strikes are not confined to direct military damage but generate sustained terror deep inside Israel—disrupting settlers’ lives and eroding the security establishment’s confidence in its own resilience.
