The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) announced on Tuesday evening a series of military operations against Israeli targets in the occupied Palestinian territories.
Spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree said that the YAF’s Rocket Force launched a top-tier operation targeting al-Lydd Airport, also known as Ben Gurion Airport, in occupied Yafa using a Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile.
The operation successfully hit its target, resulting in the fleeing of millions of Israeli settlers to shelters and the complete halt of airport operations, Saree confirmed.
Drone strikes against sensitive Israeli targets
Simultaneously, Saree mentioned that the YAF’s UAV unit executed three military operations targeting sensitive Israeli sites in Yafa, Askalan, and Umm al-Rashrash, using three drones.
The spokesperson reiterated that the latest operations come in support of the oppressed Palestinian people and their Resistance fighters and in retaliation for the ongoing genocidal crimes committed by the Israeli occupation against the Gaza Strip.
He added that these strikes come as part of Yemen’s sustained support for Gaza and its categorical rejection of the genocidal war being waged against its people.
The Yemeni Armed Forces reaffirm that this Ummah will not abandon its responsibilities toward the oppressed Palestinian people, Saree affirmed, underscoring that the YAF will continue their operations until the Israeli war on Gaza ceases and the siege imposed on the enclave is lifted.
‘Israel’ confirms missile launch from Yemen
Earlier on Tuesday, Israeli media reported that a ballistic missile was launched from Yemen toward occupied Palestine, prompting the activation of air raid sirens in the occupied al-Quds and the Shephelah areas.
The Israeli occupation military confirmed in a statement that its air defense systems were activated to intercept the missile launched from Yemen.
