Israel has been extensively involved in making bombing runs in Yemen. The 2015 downed 2 F16 jets in Yemen were of Israeli origin. These jets reported use tactical neutron bombs and target general civilians in the area. F16s were shot down over Yemen. When the wreckage was examined, both were found to be of types never supplied to an Arab nation, not Saudi Arabia, not anyone. The only “buyer” in the region for that type of plane is Israel.
But soon the things became interesting when these jets were attacked backed by modified Russian made BUK system. Russia stated that it had supplied Yemen with BUK systems but the versions Yemeni Military using is an updated version and it clearly show someone is helping Yemen behind closed doors. When asked about Iran's help, They said Iran might be involved but Iran's ability to update BUK system to current standards is in doubt. This is the work of more advanced technicians and it exceeds Iran's capabilities this is the work of some eastern European group that is more familiar with the system.
Coming back to the two F 16 shot down were armed with neutron bombs and although most of the ammunition was used but there might be a possibility that one or two bombs fall into the hands of Yemeni army. they are small tactical neutron Bombs.
One of these aircraft was most likely responsible for dropping the neutron bomb on Yemen a few days ago. Yemeni media reports that two of the ‘rockets’ carried by the fighter jet remained un-exploded and were found in the wreckage; these are most likely the Sidewinder missiles carried for defense against other aircraft. We do not know what other ordnance the aircraft was carrying. Israel is not giving any information about the pay load, these F16 were carrying on board and has raised concerns. Yemen is well-equipped with modern Russian weaponry including MiG-29s and advanced air-defence systems, a fact that has clearly been overlooked by the Saudis and their Israeli allies; they have grossly underestimated the capabilities of their enemy and as we have seen before, most notably in southern Lebanon against Hezbollah – Israel does not do so well when it’s victims are prepared and capable of fighting back; perhaps they thought they were bombing undefended civilians in Gaza?
Soon a video emerged pointing that Yemen might use the neutron bombs as artillery shells and fire on an advancing army and thus the option of ground intervention has been dropped because these bombs can wipe out an entire advancing army in a single shot. So did a broken arrow became the savior of Yemen?

. Sufficiently large bombs or a sufficiently dusty environment will create a mushroom cloud, they aren't solely a product of nuclear weapons or enhanced radiation devices.
