A missile launched from Yemen on Sunday evening disrupted the atmosphere of the Jewish Passover holiday inside the Israeli entity, as settlers endured hours of fear, with sirens blaring and mass rushes to shelters—a fresh blow to Israel’s security prestige.
The attack, claimed by Sana’a, sparked a wave of outrage among Israelis, with fierce criticism directed at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was accused of a massive failure to ensure security despite his repeated promises of “total victory.”
In this context, Avigdor Lieberman, head of the “Yisrael Beiteinu” party, mocked: “On Passover… missiles from Gaza and Yemen, millions in shelters, and 59 hostages still in Hamas tunnels. This is the ‘total victory’ the Prime Minister of October 7 keeps talking about.”
Opposition leader and head of the “Israeli Democrats” party, Yair Golan, admitted that the Yemeni missiles had completely ruined Passover. In a post on X, he wrote: “The entire country is in shelters, sirens, bombings, and panic… 59 hostages in Gaza, while Hamas still rules the Strip. Netanyahu’s failure is clear—there is no security in the streets or on the borders.”
Meanwhile, Israeli Army Radio revealed that the Houthis (Ansar Allah) have launched at least 20 ballistic missiles toward Israel since the resumption of the war on Gaza—an indication of the expanding scope of confrontation and the crumbling of Israeli deterrence on multiple fronts.
This escalation by Yemen reflects Sana’a’s unwavering stance in support of the Palestinian resistance. The Houthis (Ansar Allah) have repeatedly stated that targeting the Israeli entity is part of their response to the aggression on Gaza.
With continued long-range ballistic strikes, Sana’a is demonstrating its ability to break the blockade and expand the theater of confrontation—a strategic achievement that underscores its firm position and transformation into a decisive player in the regional conflict equation in defense of the Palestinian cause.
