‘Palestine 2’ Hypersonic Missile is 5 Times The Speed of Sound

The Yemeni Ansar Allah Houthi Group published in a videoclip, Monday, scenes from the launch of a hypersonic ballistic missile launched at a military target in the occupied city of Jaffa that is now also known as Tel Aviv.

The Houthis named the missile “Palestine 2”, while its range reaching 2,150 km, and operates on solid fuel in two stages, and is characterized by stealth technology and a speed of up to 16 Mach.

The latest “Palestine 2” missile has a high maneuverability to bypass the latest air defense systems, including the Iron Dome, according to the Houthi war media in a report by Quds Press.

The Yemeni Houthis launched a new “hypersonic” ballistic missile, Sunday, at a “military target” in the city of Jaffa, hours after the Israeli army announced that a missile fell in an “open area” in the Tel Aviv area in the center of the country.

The “hypersonic” missile is a type of deadly weapon, reaching a speed of five times the speed of sound and sometimes more. It does not follow a curved path but has the ability to evade during flight, making it easy to penetrate air defenses and hinders its tracking by radars, and flies at low altitudes compared to ordinary ballistic missiles.

The Israeli occupation army has continued its aggression on the Gaza Strip for 346 days, with American and European support, as its airplanes bomb the vicinity of hospitals, buildings, towers and homes of Palestinian civilians and destroy them over the heads of their residents, and prevents the entry of water, food, medicine and fuel.

The ongoing aggression by the occupation on Gaza has led to the martyrdom of more than 41,226 martyrs, the injury of 95,413 others, and the displacement of 90% of the population of the Strip, according to data from the United Nations.
