A US Navy warship has intercepted missiles and drones launched from Yemen by the Iran-aligned Houthi movement, US officials say.

A Pentagon spokesman said the missiles had been launched "potentially towards targets in Israel".

The USS Carney, a guided-missile destroyer, was operating in the northern Red Sea on Thursday.

How come countries like Palestine and Yemen are always short of food and other essential items but never run out of rockets, just maybe if they get rid of the rockets there would be plenty of food and other essentials. 🤔

If they would have spent, say, half of that on bomb shelters, I think they could still make their point launching 4000 rockets instead of 8000 (or whatever), and there would be less dead Gazans to mourn.

As I saw it on Al Jazeera they were not necessarily for israel. They could have been headed for american assets, but as they were destroyed it's unknown what the destination was.

Now that the US has declared for israel, IMO all Americans abroad and US assets are a target.

How far is it from Al Udeid Air Base to Al Jazeera offices?

Palestine isn't a country. 

You are technically correct that Palestine is not a country.

 

However

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_recognition_of_the_State_of_Palestine

 

On 22 November 1974, United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3236 recognised the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, national independence and sovereignty in Palestine. It also recognised the PLO as the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people, and accorded it observer status in the United Nations. The designation "Palestine" for the PLO was adopted by the United Nations in 1988 in acknowledgment of the Palestinian declaration of independence, but the proclaimed state still has no formal status within the system.

 

In February 1989 at the United Nations Security Council, the PLO representative acknowledged that 94 states had recognised the new Palestinian state.

 

On 29 November 2012, in a 138–9 vote (with 41 abstaining) General Assembly resolution 67/19 passed, upgrading Palestine to "non-member observer state" status in the United Nations.[75][76] The new status equated Palestine's with that of the Holy See. The change in status was described by The Independent as "de facto recognition of the sovereign state of Palestine".[77] Voting "no" were Israel, Canada, the Czech Republic, the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Panama and the United States.

 

There is a lot more detail in the link.
