Will they use the space at the back for VTOL drones or something else? and does this thing even have a hangar to begin with?

Since there is no topic on the Houthis' weapons, I am publishing it here. In Yemen, the Houthis presented a new two-stage hypersonic missile, the Palestine-2. It is worth noting that many experts doubt that the missile can reach hypersonic speeds and maneuver for a long time.
As officially reported, the Palestine-2 missile can reach speeds 16 times greater than the speed of sound and travel up to 2,150 kilometers. It is also reported that
the missile is capable of bypassing "the most complex air defense systems in the world." Presumably, the missile is based on Iranian missiles.

Iran has released footage of Qadr missile launches. The Ghadr-110 or Qadr-110 ballistic missile is based on the Shahab-3 missiles and was unveiled in 2007. The missile has two stages, the first stage with liquid fuel and the second stage with solid fuel. The Ghadr missile is available in three types: "Qadr S" with a range of 1,350 km, "Qadr H" with a range of 1,650 km and "Qadr F" with a range of 1,950 km. Qadr missiles are equipped with warheads weighing from 650 kg to 1,000 kg. The missile has an inertial guidance system, a circular error probable of the missile from the target of about 110-300 meters, the flight speed of the missile is up to 13,000 kilometers per hour. The length of the missile is up to 16.6 meters. The rocket is made partly of aluminum and weighs up to 17,500 kg. The price of the Qadr rocket is not reported, but it is known that they are expensive to manufacture.

Are liquid fuel missiles filled at launch sites or can be prepared in advance? There must have been tell-tale signs as there was already intel that things are about to go down in few hours, im wondering what all they can be? Apart from obvious moving the launchers in open air.

It is based on the Scud. That needs to be filled with propellant first before the launch. Only later Soviet liquid rockets came inside a capsule and are kept fueled at all times.

Iran seems to be moving towards solid rockets which are stored fueled.

Judging by photographs of the IMEX 2024 exercise, the Alborz (Alvand class) light frigate of the Iranian Navy received a 3x4 launcher presumably for Shahin-1 kamikaze drones
