Saudi Arabia has been caught in footage for the first time attempting to intercept a ballistic missile launched from Yemen by the Houthis (Ansar Allah) at Israel.
The Houthis launched two missiles at Israel late on September 24 and late on September 25. It is unclear which of the missiles the kingdom attempted to intercept.
The footage showing the interception, which reportedly involved the launch of two missiles from a MIM-104 Patriot battery deployed near the city of Madinah, surfaced online on September 26. The Saudi Ministry of Defense didn’t release any statement on the matter.
Saudi Arabia has been accused of intercepting missiles launched by the Houthis at Israel since the group began carrying out such attacks in response to the war on the Gaza Strip nearly two years ago. However, only now evidence supporting these accusations has emerged.
Since March 18, when the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) resumed its offensive against Hamas, an ally of the Houthis, in Gaza, the group has launched nearly 90 ballistic missiles at targets in Israel.
During this period, the IDF more than once announced that ballistic missiles launched by the Houthis failed over Saudi Arabia.
Videos from September 12 show one such case where a Houthi missile apparently failed over Saudi Arabia. The incident also took place near Madinah. At the time, the Saudi MoD also remained silent.
The latest footage that shows an interception attempt came after Hebrew media reports revealed that Saudi Arabia was moving away from pursuing peace with Israel for the first time in decades over the IDF’s ongoing offensive in Gaza.
It also came after Defense Minister Israel Katz vowed to send Abdel-Malik al-Houthi, the leader of the Houthis, to the “depths of hell” and that his group would lose its hold on the Yemeni capital, Sanaa. The threat was seen as a signal by Israel that it was willing to work with the forces of the internationally-recognized, Saudi-backed Yemeni government to take down the Houthis.
For around three years now, both Saudi Arabia and the Houthis have remained committed to a ceasefire in Yemen. Not a single major violation has been reported, so far.
While the latest incident over Madinah can be viewed as an attempt by the Saudis to stop Houthi attacks on Israel, it is possible that the kingdom simply made its policy on intercepting missiles launched from Yemen after the incident from earlier this month. In any case, this could lead to tensions between the two sides that Israel could capitalize on to renew the war in Yemen.

reveals the mindset of saudi leadership: rather have a missile intercept crash on saudi buildings than touch the land of the chosen ones.
bitches and slaves, hypocrites and world whores.
how much money did bin salman give trump and tulsi gabbard to capture the houthi leader?
entire families, children and women are being killed and blown to pieces and the arab countries help the ones who are killing the muslim women and children. being in the lucifer club is more important. servants of dajjal.
so much for the great muslim “ummah.”
exactly that what i am thinking too. those muslims, gangsters running and driving around in europe in fat big cars bought from social fraud & drug dealing and all the large muslim countries like indonesia, malaysia, turkey, algeria, egypt, pakistan etc. what are they doing? nothing! why is there no muslim-nato or org which is to send combined united muslim military, in case one of the nations is attacked, or muslim people like in gaza are genocided?
that s the sad truth !
instead of going for the jooz the only installations attacked are christian churches & innocent young white girls harassed + gang-raped by ‘grooming’ gangs, + peaceful elderly eu-people attacked by knife-stabbing muslim juveniles.thats really a disgrace for islam in a whole. such behaviour of muslims in europe just benefits israel & the joos. thats what muslims need to realize, when tolerating such evil doing by their own people.
this is the standard mark 1 foaming-at-the-mouth-moslem as supplied by the mossad office to tommy ten names robinson.
yes tommy robinson an katie hopkins (with joo-nose bigger than mount everest !) are just rallying angry know-nothing brits on behalf of zionist agenda, and want to cause civil war in europe. europe needs real national uprising, which targets the real enemy aka the jooz ! that the muslim asylum hordes have leave europe is clear, but will not happen unless eu’s jooish governments are toppled by fully awakend masses of native europeans.
sunni arab monarchies are complicit in genocide against palestinains…the zionist swine have blackmail threats over the leaders in the arab world. you never submit to zionism. zionism is an ideology of hate
that saudi monarchies are known as british agents for a long time.
i agree to all, but not sunni. only those munafiq aka quasi muslims, or wahhabis. call them what you will.
saudi’s are two faced as is trump. still, it’s better to know who your enemies are now, rather than later.
ansar allah has a better target than israhell… saudi refineries… saudis are bastards… cut the oil to usa and everything will be fine! the little satan and the great satan! israhell and united states of america… imam khomeini was right!
is there anything more contemptible on god’s earth than the cringing, servile, quisling collaborator whore dictators of the gulf in bed with the jooz? they are worse than the jooz. they shower planes, gold, diamonds and trillions of investment on pos chumpo without sending a loaf of bread to gaza. they don’t lift a finger or utter a word of protest about the genocide and brutally suppress any of their people who do. they don’t even take token steps like cutting diplomatic relations.
censorship censorship censorship censorship censorship censorship
everyone has their turn. truthfully fighting conditions are very favorable in reguards of the zionist state. if they wait for the fight to come to them, which it will, then its to late.
the history of conflicts is full of such lessons..
everyone has their turn. no exceptions!
so saudi arabia is nentanhyahoos little bitch. 🤮
