Houthi Attack on Israel Mistaken as a UAP in the Middle East

Misbar investigated the viral claim and found it to be misleading. Through careful analysis, Misbar’s team found that the video does not show an attack on a UAP in the Middle East but an attempt to intercept missiles.

Israel Failing to Intercept a Houthi Missile on Dec. 21

The sirens heard in the background indicate it occurred in a country with a siren warning system.

In the Middle East, Israel is known for its warning systems and is currently at war, making it a logical candidate for where the video was captured.

The time shown in the video shows it was captured at 3:50, which leads to the conclusion that the video may show an attack on Israel in the morning.

Reviewing recent attacks on Israel recently, Misbar’s team found an attack that happened around the time 3:50 on Dec. 21, by the Houthis.

The Times of Israel reported on that attack in an article titled, “Missile fired from Yemen explodes in south Tel Aviv, lightly injuring 16.”

The Israeli outlet featured a video of the attack showing a missile in the sky attacking Tel Aviv. Two missiles from the Iron Dome were seen in the video attempting to intercept the Houthi missile but failing. The video then shows the impact of the Houthi missile after it hit its target.

Similar to the viral video, The Times of Israel’s footage was captured from an angle surrounded by tall buildings. The cloud formations in both videos are similar, further supporting the connection.

Searching for further videos of the Houthi attack that day, RT (formerly known as Russia Today) published different videos of the attack from different angles.

RT’s video also shows similarities with the viral video. The siren sound in the background is present in both videos. In RT’s footage, two guided missiles from the Iron Dome are seen approaching a missile in the sky but fail to intercept it. This same scene is depicted but from a different angle in the viral video.

Misbar’s team compared the moment one of the two guided missiles exploded in the sky between The Times Israel’s video, RT’s video, and the viral video. All three videos showed that the explosion occurred behind the clouds, producing light.

All these similarities between the Houthi attack on Dec 21 and the viral video strongly suggest that the viral video shows footage of the Houthi attack, not an attack on a UAP.

Houthis Claimed Launching Missiles on Tel Aviv in December

Houthis in Yemen targeted Tel Aviv with a ballistic missile on Saturday, Dec. 21, 2024, that fell in the Tel Aviv-Jaffa area.

After the sirens went off, the Israeli military reported that one projectile was launched from Yemen and that the Iron Dome, Israel's missile shields, failed to intercept it.

The attack injured 16 people mildly, as a result of glass shattering in the building near the targeted area.

The Houthis later claimed the attack saying that they had fired ballistic missiles at “two specific and sensitive military targets.”

Since Israel launched its brutal war on Gaza on October 7, the Houthis acted in solidarity with Palestine targeting Israel and ships linked to it in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
