Yemen’s Houthi rebels have unveiled a new solid-fuel missile that resembles aspects of one earlier displayed by Iran that Tehran said could fly at hypersonic speeds.

The rebels fired the new Palestine missile, complete with a warhead painted like a Palestinian checkered scarf, at the southern Gulf of Aqaba port of Eilat in Israel on Monday.
