Yemeni forces target Israel’s Ben Gurion airport using hypersonic ballistic missile

The Yemeni Armed Forces have launched a missile strike on Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion airport in protest against Israel’s ongoing genocide and starvation of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

In a statement released on Thursday, the Yemeni forces said they used a "Palestine 2" hypersonic ballistic missile in their operation.

The attack “successfully achieved its goal,” caused Zionists to flee to shelters, and suspended flights at the Ben Gurion airport, they added.

Meanwhile, the Yemeni forces noted that they are monitoring developments on the ground in Gaza, affirming their full confidence in the ability of Palestinian resistance fighters to thwart the enemy's moves and foil its plot to occupy the besieged territory and displace its people.

They also vowed to remain by the Palestinians’ side until victory with all available capabilities and “escalate” their operations until Israel’s genocide in Gaza ends and the blockade is lifted.

Ansarullah pledges continued support for Gazans

Similarly, Hazam al-Assad, a member of the political bureau of the Ansarullah resistance movement, underlined Yemen’s continued support for the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

“We will keep targeting the Zionist enemy with full force until its aggression stops and the siege of Gaza is lifted,” he said.

The Israeli military, meanwhile, claimed that it had intercepted a ballistic missile fired from Yemen.

On Tuesday, the Yemeni forces also conducted a successful operation by targeting “vital targets” in Haifa, the Negev Desert, Eilat and Beersheba in the Israeli-occupied lands using six drones.

The Yemeni Armed Forces began their campaign against Israel, attacking Israeli-linked ships as well as striking targets in the occupied territories in November 2023, a month after the usurping regime unleashed its genocide in Gaza.

Yemen halted its attacks in January, when Israel accepted a Gaza ceasefire.

Two months later, however, Israel unilaterally broke the Gaza truce and resumed its aggression, prompting the Yemeni forces to resume their operations in support of Palestinians.
