Israel has confirmed that it used its Arrow 3 missile interceptor against Iran-backed Houthi rebels. The Israeli military successfully intercepted and destroyed a target approaching Israel from the Red Sea, indicating a potential threat from Yemen. The Arrow 3 is one of the world's most advanced air and missile defense systems, specifically designed to intercept long-range ballistic missiles.
