Yemeni Ansar Allah’s Missile Fall In Jordan
According to residents of southern Jordan, one of the Yemeni Ansar Allah’s missiles fell in the Al-Mudawwara region during their third operation against Israeli positions on October 31.
Based on ISWnews investigation, the missile is a Quds-3 cruise missile of the Ansar Allah movement of Yemen, which has a range of 1,700 kilometers.
The distance from the site of the missile’s fall in the Al-Mudawwara region in southern Jordan to the northern regions of Saada province in Yemen is about 1,500 kilometers.
This missile certainly reached the Al-Mudawwara region through an indirect route, so another 100 to 200 kilometers should be added to this distance. Therefore, it can be said that the ultimate target of the attack should be in close proximity to the location of the missile’s fall (Al-Mudawwara region).

The most important location in this area is the Ilan and Asaf Ramon International Airport (ETM) or the city of Eilat, about 100 kilometers away from the Al-Mudawwara region.
An important issue regarding this missile attack is the use of Saudi Arabia and Jordan’s airspace to attack Israel instead of the sea. Here, the Quds-3 missile travelled all through Saudi Arabia and entered Jordan soil without being identified, falling in the southern deserts of this country.
According to published images, there is no sign of a missile impact or explosion. Therefore, speculation about the destruction of the Yemeni missile by defense systems is ruled out, and a technical malfunction or fuel depletion due to traveling beyond the range limit is more likely.
The reason for not using the Red Sea route for this attack is also due to the presence of the US naval fleet in the north of this sea. By passing through various terrestrial obstacles, the possibility of identifying the missile by radars also greatly decreases, and practically, identifying the Quds-3 cruise missile for the US, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Israel in the Eilat area was not possible.
However, it should be mentioned that Israel and the United States’ chance of repelling attacks when the missile is near the occupied Palestinian airspace will increase because there are numerous radar equipment and defense systems in this area.
According to the statement of the Yemeni armed forces, their missile and drone attacks against Israel will continue. These attacks, especially those carried out with cruise missiles, pose a serious threat to the infrastructure of the Israeli regime, and the likelihood of hitting targets in the occupied territories of Palestine is higher than that of Zolfaghar ballistic missiles and Samad-4 suicide drones.
