How did Houthi defend against airstrikes though? There isn't much credible info regarding their arsenal, Any members here know more about them?
The Houthis hide most of their army and weapons in mountain bases deep under rock cover. It is as simple as that.

Yemen was bombed by the Saudis for many years. You can bet pretty much anything of military significance the Houthis have is not there out in the open.

They didn't really intercept much of it.

But even then, a rather big missile attack by US and allies caused just 2 deaths lol (70ish missiles).

In other words, US and its allies have shit targeting info (satellites simply aren't enough, at least current day iteration of US satellites), and simply not enough people on the ground.

(There's likely also another reason, which is that US and allies don't actually want to do a 'serious attack', cuz that mean that Ansarallah will respond and basically destroy the troops US and its allies has in Djibouti).

The Houthis hide most of their army and weapons in mountain bases deep under rock. It is as simple as that.

Basically, Yemen is Afghanistan II....

You have obvious never been through a ‘proper’ western tax accounting course, as you would easily be able to square all those conflicting claims if you had.

American OTH radars detected 220 objects coming over the horizon, but 110 of them were slowing and decelerating. Virgin military analysts say the slowing objects are discarded boosters, but their Chad political superiors knows better and correctly concluded those are failed missiles. 50% failure rate confirmed.

Iran fired 300 missiles, with 7-9 hits, but Israel can still claim 99% intercept rate by counting all the ‘failed’ boosters as successful intercepts and also by counting every hit as a successful intercept, even if some of the hits are scored against debris from earlier intercepts.
ArmchairGeneral handle on Twitter had a pretty convincing report with key details being that there is actually zero proof of that 300 launches. No proof from Iran, nor Iraq nor Jordan, nor Israel. Even the drone swarms, which should easily be visible or heard, are not seen by anyone. And ofcourse, no footage of hundreds of intercepts by USA over Iraq and Jordan. Hundreds of intercepts should be easily seen before before reaching Israel, but no such footage exists.
Basically, Yemen is Afghanistan II....
That's a bit of a stretch. Yemen is in much better condition than Afghanistan. It actually has a genuine standing army, operating complex equipment. They've even shown engineering and reverse-engineering capabilities. The only thing in which Yemen is equivalent or worse is the famine brought on by the previous war.
