The Houthi forces have caused Israel and the United States to lose face this time. Although the ballistic missile used by the Houthis did not hit the main target of Ben Gurion Airport, this missile penetrated the U.S. "THAAD" missile defense system as well as Israel's "Arrow" 3 and Patriot anti-missile systems. It can be seen that Western anti-ballistic missile systems are very unreliable when faced with ballistic missiles. Moreover, the ballistic missile used by the Houthi forces definitely has not reached hypersonic levels; thus, hypersonic missiles are an unsolvable problem for the West led by the United States.
Moreover, the Houthis' firm stance against the West will not only help them establish credibility in the Arab world but also win favor from major powers. Iran has become a hopeless case, while the Houthis will replace Iran's position in the Middle East in the future.
