  • A US Navy warship downed missiles and drones launched at Israel by Yemen's Houthi rebels in October.
  • The attempted attack was a demonstration of the robust missile arsenal the Houthis have built up.
  • Despite their limitations, those missiles can still threaten the US and its allies in the region.

The Yemen-based Ansarullah movement, commonly known as the Houthi rebels, has launched three missile and drone attacks at Israel in recent weeks, adding to the aerial fray in the region amid Israel's ongoing war with Hamas.
