More like 1,800km, but as you said it's a nonsense story reported earlier on to disguise the fact that the USS Carney had been targeted itself by Iran instead of just happening to come across some missiles and drones travelling towards Israel.so im reading just now the following..which translates to ....Israeli media: Missiles with warheads weighing a total of 1.6 tons were apparently fired by the Houthis toward hotels in Eilat..... arent the houthis in yemen?? like 3000 miles away ?

First of all very few drones have anywhere close to that kind of range.
Secondly they wouldn't be intercepted at the same place and time because they wouldn't be anywhere close to one another due to the huge difference in cruising speed. Only in the terminal phase could that have happened if the attack had been planned meticulously to assure that all assets arrive in the target area at the same time.
Thirdly why bother with MRBM fired from Yemen when you've got hezbollah to the north and hamas to the west right next to your target serviceable by way, way cheaper weapons.
No journalist seems to have bothered to verify that initial story by looking at a map and some Wikipedia info on missiles and drones. Journalism isn't what it used to be.
