beijing, september 16 (china news service) comprehensive news: yemen's houthi armed forces said that they launched a new type of missile at israel on the 15th. the israel defense forces said that the missile was intercepted by israel but not completely destroyed. lebanese media reported on the 16th that the leader of the palestinian islamic resistance movement (hamas), sinwar, who had "disappeared for nearly a year", was about to make a public statement.

according to afp and reuters, yemen's houthi armed forces said on the 15th that they launched a new type of hypersonic missile at israel that day and successfully hit the target. houthi armed forces spokesman sarea said that the houthi armed forces reiterated their support for palestine and that the attack was also a retaliation for israel's large-scale air strikes on hodeidah in july.

according to the jerusalem post on the 16th, the idf stated that the missile fired by the houthis at israel was a straight trajectory and was not a hypersonic missile as claimed by the houthis. the missile disintegrated in the air after being hit by an israeli interceptor, and the warhead and other debris caused a forest fire when they fell, causing minor damage to a train station and triggering air defense alarms in many places in central israel. the idf stated that it is investigating why the missile disintegrated instead of being completely destroyed after being intercepted by israel.

qatar's al jazeera reported that there were many questions about why israeli security agencies were unable to effectively shoot down missiles fired by the houthis. the report also said that when the houthis launched drone attacks on israel in july, they were not discovered until they flew to tel aviv.

israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said at his weekly meeting on the evening of the 15th that the houthi armed forces will "pay a heavy price" for the missile attack.

lebanon's al-manar tv station sent a message through its social media platform on the 16th saying that hamas leader sinwar "will send a message to the palestinian people and the world, and they will hear it soon."

hezbollah said a few days ago that sinwal wrote to the leader of hezbollah in lebanon, reiterating his determination to "defend jerusalem and expel the occupiers" after "disappearing for nearly a year."

according to reports, hezbollah warned israel on the 15th that if israel launched a full-scale war against lebanon, it would cause heavy losses to both sides and cause hundreds of thousands of israelis to be displaced in the northern border area of ​​the country. netanyahu had previously stated that he would launch a "widespread and powerful operation" on the israel-lebanon border.

according to the times of israel, the idf confirmed on the 15th that after a detailed investigation, the three israeli detainees "probably" "died indirectly" in the airstrike launched by the idf in the northern gaza strip on november 10 last year. the idf said that due to incorrect intelligence information, the idf was not aware in advance that they were detained in the tunnel.

on december 14, 2023, the bodies of three israeli detainees were found in a tunnel in jabaliya and taken back to israel for burial. the israeli army then launched an investigation into the cause of death of the three. (end)
