Houthi strikes on Saudi Arabia more effective than February Iranian attacks, gaps in air defense found

A Western military official in Riyadh told Middle East Eye that Saudi air defense intercepts at least 90% of Houthi rockets and drones, but the Houthis are finding gaps, making their recent strikes more successful than Iranian attacks in February. The claim is based on a single anonymous source, so the extent of the gap and the comparison to Iranian attacks remain unverified. This matters because it indicates a potential degradation in Saudi air defense effectiveness amid ongoing regional conflict.
