Israel shot down a missile fired by Yemeni rebels outside the Earth’s atmosphere. In fact, this is the first “battle in space” in history, writes The Telegraph newspaper.
“Israel used the Arrow missile defense system to shoot down a ballistic missile outside the Earth’s atmosphere,” the text reads. It is also noted that this is considered the first battle in space in history, as well as the first use of the Arrow anti-aircraft system for its intended purpose – to destroy a target at high speed and high altitude.
Let us recall that on November 1, the Yemeni army reported that the country launched a missile attack on the positions of Israeli forces, and a video of missiles being launched towards Israel was also published. At the same time, the Israeli army later said that the missiles and drones were intercepted over the Red Sea, and there was no threat to Israeli civilians during the attacks, The Times of Israel newspaper wrote.
Let us recall that the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict began on October 7 after Hamas rocket attacks on Israeli territory and the capture of a number of settlements bordering the Gaza Strip. It was reported that more than 1,400 Israelis were killed, most of them civilians. Hamas militants also took a large number of hostages. According to Gaza’s health ministry, more than 9,000 people have been killed in the strip since Israeli bombing began. According to WHO, 40% of the dead were children. Currently, the Gaza Strip is blocked – there is no electricity, no Internet, and the supply of heat and water has been interrupted.
