Yemeni forces target Israeli Ben Gurion Airport with hypersonic missile

Yemeni Armed Forces have claimed responsibility for a qualitative operation against a strategic Israeli installation in the occupied territories, in support of the people of Gaza and in response to the Israeli regime’s renewed atrocities in the besieged coastal sliver.

Brigadier General Yahya Saree, spokesperson for Yemen's military, stated on Thursday morning that Yemeni missile units targeted Ben Gurion International Airport, located 20 kilometers (12 miles) to the southeast of Tel Aviv, with a Palestine-2 hypersonic hypersonic ballistic missile.

Saree noted that the retaliatory strike attained its desired objectives successfully.

He emphasized that the Yemeni Armed Forces continue to effectively confront the American aggression against Yemen for the fifth day.

Saree said the missile force, naval force and air force of the Yemeni military have escalated their targeting of enemy warships in the Red Sea, including the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier of the United States Navy and its affiliated warships.

The senior Yemeni military official said the armed forces of the Arab country could successfully target these vessels with a number of ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as drones.

Saree reiterated that the American enemy will fail to prevent Yemen from targeting Israeli-occupied territories in response to the regime’s massacres against the people of Gaza.

He also reaffirmed that the escalation of aerial raids and strikes will never manage to deter Yemen and its nation from fulfilling their religious and moral duties toward the oppressed Palestinian people.

Yemeni Armed Forces will continue to prevent Israeli-linked ships from navigating in the Red and Arabian Seas until the bloody aggression against Yemen stops, and the crippling siege on Palestinians in the coastal regime is completely lifted.

Yemeni air defenses intercept, shoot down another US MQ-9 Reaper drone

Separately, Yemeni air defense units successfully intercepted and shot down another American MQ-9 Reaper drone while it was conducting hostile activities in the airspace over the country’s southwestern province of Dhamar.

According to the Yemeni military, the American aircraft was downed with a homegrown Yemeni surface-to-air missile, as it was carrying out a reconnaissance drone operation above the area.

The downed MQ-9 drone was the sixteenth of its kind shot down over the country’s airspace since early October 2023.

Yemenis have been hitting Israeli and American targets in support of Palestinians in Gaza since the regime launched its devastating war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, and in response to the American-British aggression on their homeland.

Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement has been also targeting ships linked to Israel, the United States, or the United Kingdom to force an end to the Tel Aviv regime’s genocidal war on Gaza.

The operations have effectively shut down the Eilat port south of the occupied territories, causing significant economic setbacks for the Israelis.

The Yemeni Armed Forces have said they will not stop their attacks until Israel’s ground and aerial offensives in Gaza end.
