If those 2 missiles can change the course of planned attack similar to 9/11, then it might be not daunting at all.

What if, on seeing two missiles wipe out another set of families, someone decides that they're now radicalized to carry out a 9/11 in revenge?

Unfortunately, terror finds it's ways regardless of what the attacked country does or doesn't do. Can you explain for example why the Yemenis are closing the shipping passage near Yemen?

Isn’t this answer easily findable? It’s a clear response to the aggressive US/IL foreign policy in the area. Here’s an excerpt from an article in late ‘23 -

“The Houthis […] say they are targeting Israel-based ships or vessels headed to Israel. They are attacking ships as they cross the strait of Bab el-Mandeb, connecting the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden. The Red Sea hostilities are part of a pattern of Middle East attacks from Iranian-backed groups against the U.S. and Israel in response to the Israel-Hamas war.”

Then it's an investment in future war profits. Ka-ching!
