Settlers in Tel Aviv no longer safe after Yemeni military’s hypersonic missile strike

By Wesam Bahrani

What the Yemeni military executed this week will go down in history as one of the greatest military operations since October 7, 2023, when the Hamas-led operation surprised Israel and its allies.

The Yemeni missile dubbed ‘Palestine 2’ is the first of its kind to be used against the Israeli regime, evading multiple layers of air defenses in the occupied territories as well as those of CENTCOM that are scattered across the region to defend the Zionist occupation.

It traveled more than 2,000 kilometers and reached the heart of the Zionist occupation in eleven minutes, as explained by the Yemeni military spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree.

This isn't just a major success for the Yemeni nation and its brave military. It also sends important messages to the child-murdering regime in Tel Aviv that has wreaked havoc in Gaza since October 7.

In a PR show, on July 20, the Zionists struck Hodeidah port, setting oil storage facilities on fire.

Yemeni military pledged to retaliate and even after a hypersonic ballistic missile struck Tel Aviv, Sana'a has not yet finished its retaliation. This is the beginning of many more things in store.

The retaliation for the Hodeidah attack may be staged in 100 different operations in a similar if not more powerful nature if sources are to be believed.  This could be the first such attack.

Ansarullah resistance movement leader Seyyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi pretty much alluded to this when he spoke about phase five during his speech to mark the birth anniversary of the Holy Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) on Monday.

This is Yemen that keeps the world guessing and has continued to spring surprises on the battlefield since 2015 when millions of men, with honor, pride and courage, took over Sana'a after the revolution.

The region and the Zionists in particular must get used to these words: Yemen and its advanced indigenous military technology are capable enough to decimate the child murderers.

The same Yemeni military technology that sent American destroyers fleeing from the Red Sea.  And the same Red Sea where the Zionist radars should have been on full alert for incoming fire in anticipation of retaliation from Yemen.

This is the Yemeni path forward now and the Zionist regime's worst nightmare. Some American pundits are scrambling their heads and openly admitting that Yemeni ballistic missiles are traveling faster than America's own missiles.

Among the other important factors is that nobody knew anything about this hypersonic missile. Yemeni military media has since revealed details of the hypersonic missile.

The missile had a range of 2,150 km, and it operates with solid fuel in two stages, features stealth technology, and reaches speeds of up to Mach 16, among other information.

What Yemen has created is a new equation between its support front in solidarity with Gaza, and the Zionists massacring Palestinians every day in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

This is on top of the Yemeni embargo in the Red Sea for Israeli and Israeli-affiliated ships transiting. Yemen rendered Eilat port out of service and bankrupt. And, the American, British and French navies couldn't do anything about it.

But the most important aspect of the operation is that Tel Aviv is no longer considered a safe zone as there is no doubt the Yemeni response hasn't finished yet. There is more in the pipeline.

On Saturday, Israeli military officials said the sounds of panic and explosions engulfed Tel Aviv across a diameter of 30 to 40 square kilometers.

The Israeli war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu said the attack won't go unpunished. What can Tel Aviv do? Strike Hodeidah again? Tel Aviv will come under attack again.

Hodeidah has been repeatedly bombed since 2015, but that has only made Yemen more powerful.

Before October 7, Tel Aviv, with a population of 2.5 million settlers, was enjoying a level of security where a gunshot wasn't heard, let alone hypersonic ballistic missiles or drones landing.

Yemen has pledged this is the beginning. What will happen if five missiles land on Tel Aviv in one day?

Millions of Israeli protesters that have been hitting the streets in Tel Aviv in recent months in protest against the Netanyahu regime will increase to seek an end to the ongoing genocide.

The Zionists have no military option at their disposal to end Yemeni military strikes. Netanyahu is delusional in thinking the war of attrition will bring the axis of resistance, let alone Hamas to its knees.

The opposite is the reality.

Yemen along with the other support fronts in solidarity with Gaza, such as the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement or the Iraqi resistance will fulfill their stated promises and objectives, which is putting pressure on the Zionists to end the genocide. And this appears to be certain.

The number of Yemeni missiles that will land in Tel Aviv will decide the breaking point for the Zionist occupation and its American sponsor.

As is evident, none of the American destroyers dispatched to the region are executing their stated mission of defending the Zionist occupation.

Hezbollah chief Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah made this abundantly clear on October 8: "Your warships do not scare us and we have made calculations for them."

Yemen has already dealt with the US aircraft carriers by striking them. The US and British aggression on Yemen only made the Yemeni Armed Forces more determined and stronger.

Many in the Arab world sought to overlook the success of Yemen, the poorest nation in West Asia, with the most advanced technology and a single missile that sent air raid sirens sounding in central occupied Palestine.

This is mainly because many Arab regimes can't reach the level of military technology that Yemen has mastered and choose instead to rely on the US for arms procurement that they ironically tested on Yemen for almost a decade without success.

The Zionists themselves acknowledged the Yemeni missile landing near Ben Guiron Airport, causing damage in Tel Aviv and 20 other settlements all the way to occupied al-Quds amid air raid sirens.

The damage is there for all to see in the footage that went viral after the strike.

Yet, as Hezbollah chief has repeatedly told the Arabs recently: "Don't deny what we say. Accept what the Israeli enemy's leaders and media are admitting".

Also, the era of tanks and warplanes is over in modern warfare. This is evident in Gaza, where half the Merkava tanks have been blown up.

The weapons of today's warfare are drones and missiles. Ansarullah has been one level ahead of its enemies in being the first party to wage a major drone strike on Saudi Aramco back in September 2019, in which Americas were left clueless on how to respond.

The US-made F-35 fighter jets that the Zionists are using to strike Syria from 100 kilometers cost $80mn. This is while there are homemade precision-guided missiles and drones in the arsenal of the resistance axis that are much cheaper and do a better job.

What the Zionists are capable of staging with their warplanes, and this is something that no military expert can deny, is to kill and injure over 115,000 Palestinians in Gaza, most of them women and children.
