I wondered how the Saudis' felt about having missiles fired over their country. It turns out they're probably relieved that the Houthi have a new target.

"Yemen’s Houthi rebels have unleashed a barrage of drone and missile attacks on Saudi Arabia, targeting a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant, water desalination plant, oil facility and power station, Saudi state-run media reported."

Saudis shot down the Yemeni missiles, this is unironically a cover story. They even went to the US to ask them for more air defence so they can better protect Israel after it happened.

There have been multiple missile attacks. Most were cruise missiles which are easy to intercept. This was a ballistic missile, which the Saudis cannot intercept.
