Welcome to this OSINT entrance. The analysis is around the Houthi's Palestine 2 ballistic missile and its range. All the insights have been elaborated with OSINT tool Range Weapon for iOS and Mac devices. Israel is the current target but in a total and global escalation other countries might be dragged to be other targets.

The attack to Israel till March 2025

In a significant escalation, Yemen’s Houthi movement has launched multiple ballistic missile attacks on Israel during late 2024 and after a pause attacks have started again on March 2025.

Features of the missile Palestine-2

According to the Alma Research and Education Center, the Houthis claim to have deployed a missile named Palestine 2, purportedly manufactured in Yemen. This two-stage, solid-fuel hypersonic missile allegedly boasts a range of 2150 kilometers, marking a notable advancement in the group's strike capabilities

Targets of Palestine-2 in Israel

From launch positions in the Sana’a region, Houthi forces can target central and southern Israel, including major cities like Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, as well as critical infrastructure such as the Nevatim Airbase and the Dimona nuclear facility.

Analysing other countries under the range of Palestine 2

While the immediate threat targets Israel, the missile’s reported range—combined with Yemen’s strategic location—poses a risk further the Middle East. It also is a potential threat for the coast of North East Africa, and, under extreme conditions, as far as Pakistan and India.

Threat of Houthi's ballistic missile to Middle East countries

Taking the Sana'a region a point of launch the threat of this Houthi's missile does not stop in Israel. The entire Arabian Peninsula is also within range—Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE (including Dubai), and Kuwait are all potential targets. In addition, central and southern Iraq, including its capital Baghdad, and even Amman, the capital of Jordan, fall within the danger zone. This presents a significant threat not only to these nations but also to U.S. military bases scattered throughout the region.

If missile launches were to originate from northern Yemen, the threat radius would expand further, putting Damascus in Syria and Kirkuk in Iraq at risk.

Threat of Houthi's ballistic missile to Africa

Shifting our focus to Africa, the danger extends even further. Cairo in Egypt, Khartoum in Sudan, the entirety of Ethiopia and Somalia, as well as northern Kenya with Nairobi are into range. But a launch from southern would bring in danger other key city: Mombasa.

Threat of Houthi's ballistic missile to South Asia

Looking eastward, towards the Indian Ocean and South Asia, the threat is less feasible, but If the Houthis were able to launch from Yemen’s eastern most zones, or if they developed missile modifications—such as reducing warhead weight to extend range—southern Pakistan would become a target, including Karachi.

Furthermore, while only a small portion of India would be within range, it would include Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay, the nation’s financial capital.
