Has been going on for quite a while. In the beginning, totally outside public view.
Later, both agreed the Iran threat warranted stronger exchanges.

Article implies that the 22 July 2017 missile was launched from Yemen, which is IIRC a proxy for Iran, with many Revolutionary Guards skulking about.

I’ve read that too. They both have a common enemy in Iran.

Now, we know why the Saudis are buying these anti missile thaad systems.
Wonder if Iran sold the ballistic missile to the rebels and showed them how to use it?

All I saw was the launches of the interceptor missiles.

You are probably correct with that statement. I was being a little polite.

Saudi Arabia and Egypt have been in close contact with Israel since the ‘70s.
Nothing new about this.

Those rebels are about one small missing link from being cavemen.
That would make them trying to successfully launching a scud, a miracle.
