Fri Sep 20 10:41:03 UTC 2024: ## Russia Allegedly Provides Satellite Data to Yemen for Attack on Israel, Claims Voltaire Network
**Tel Aviv, Israel – September 20, 2024** – The international news website Voltaire Network has published a controversial article alleging that Russia provided satellite data to Ansar Allah (Houthi rebels) in Yemen, enabling them to launch a hypersonic missile towards Israel on September 15th.
The article claims that the missile, which traveled 2,040 kilometers in 11 minutes, was not intercepted by Israeli defenses, proving its hypersonic capabilities. This, according to Voltaire, suggests the involvement of Russian technology, as Ansar Allah is not known to possess such advanced capabilities.
The article further connects this alleged Russian assistance with the recent US withdrawal of two naval groups from the Near East, citing a potential attempt to avoid escalation in the Russian-Israeli conflict.
Voltaire claims that Moscow’s alleged support for Ansar Allah is a direct response to the United States’ arming of Ukraine in its ongoing conflict with Russia. This, according to the article, signifies a new era of global conflict where countries are increasingly resorting to proxy wars and utilizing advanced weaponry to attack their adversaries.
The article has generated significant controversy, as both the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and the US State Department have denied the allegations. The IDF maintains that the missile was not hypersonic and was successfully neutralized by Israeli air defenses, while the State Department vehemently denies any involvement in negotiating with Ansar Allah.
The article highlights the growing tensions between Russia and the West, and the potential for these tensions to spill over into other conflicts around the world. While the veracity of Voltaire’s claims remains unverified, the article has reignited the debate about the role of advanced technology and the potential for global conflict in the 21st century.
