FLIR footage released by the IDF shows an Israeli F-35 conducting an intercept on a Houthi-launched cruise missile. The missile was brought down before it was able to reach its original intended target.

If you're unfamiliar with the Houthis, you can hit the search bar. We've blogged a large amount of their combat footage over the past four to five years. That should give you a solid idea of who they are and what is that they're trying to accomplish.

That said, I am concerned that we're starting to see crossover conflicts. If the real world were a Marvel movie, this would be the equivalent of having Samuel L. Jackson show up at the end of Iron Man.
