Saudis are next door and with full US assistance went to war with Houthis for years and couldn't degrade their weapons capabilities, Israel can't do shit with limited bombing runs or missile strikes from 1800km away
This is Houthis third missile strike against Israel. First time Israel used its own ABM AD (Arrow-2) to intercept MRBM (Toufan/Iranian Ghadr-F SCUD-based MRBM) in this war. Houthi strikes seem to be improving and getting closer, first time they didn't even get past US ships in Red Sea
Degradation of IADs through attrition of interceptor stocks is inevitable; even if Houthi long-range missiles/drones cannot achieve effect on their targets. It will still mean less interceptors overall.
Can’t say whether or not American production will keep up pace if the attacks pick up in intensity and frequency.
