Considering the essentially minimal damage caused, obviously there is no concept of targeting for these missiles. Or else, they could have at least targeted at some military bases or even something of economic value.

Not very accurate but it has economic values.

If you hit a city once a month, investor sentiment dies. That is $100 B capital for Israel.

Based on this picture crater diameter is about 2-4 m.
We are not sure of soil density though.

This means about 50-200 kg TNT
Not a small warhead

In short, this is what happened in Sanaa moments ago, and this is the reason for the huge explosions that rocked the Yemeni capital

Moments ago, American, British, and Israeli aircraft launched violent strikes on Houthi positions in the capital, Sanaa. The strikes targeted missile storage facilities and their command and control centers, in addition to a meeting of prominent leaders inside Al-Madani’s house on Haddah Street.

The bombing that occurred moments ago is a clear message that the international coalition, led by the United States and the United Kingdom, will not tolerate the Houthis and will strike them in the heart of their strongholds.

The Muslim countries have failed to compete in the modern world. The West continues to rule. The Eastern countries like China, Japan, South Korea and others are doing well. India is starting to do better.

So the Muslim countries look for a reason why they have failed. They can blame themselves, their lack of hard work, ethics, meritocracy, respect for individuals, etc.
Or they can blame Islam.
Guess which option they chose?

Again we need to separate Muslim countries as not all are "failing to compete".

It is easy to blame Islam as a religion for the failure of most Muslim countries to compete in the modern world when the real reason lies in a complex web of cultures, geopolitical realities and external influence.

By in large Muslim countries well away from the ME like Indonesia, Malaysia and BD are doing just fine. Not great but still progressing and developing.

In the ME, Iran and Turkey are also developing quite well but on opposite sides of the geopolitical spectrum. Iran may be under heavy western sanctions but it still has developed its human and technological resources despite this.

Too many people simply do not understand the assymetical nature of warfare.


Houthis do not have much to lose as they are poor and have very little infrastructure to start off with.

Even a single ballistic missile per week sustained over some years would cause billions of dollars worth of damage to the Zionist economy as not only will highly educated settlers decide this is not worth it and emigrate but also foreign investments will dry up.

Why go to Palestine and put up with having to go to air raid shelters all the time when you can just go to a safe and secure country with your investments?
