At least 25 Israelis were injured as sirens wailed in the Zionist entity’s center and south early on Tuesday as a result of a missile fired from Yemen.
The Yemeni Armed Forces announced, in a statement read by the spokesman General Yahya Sarea, that the missile force, with the help of Allah Almighty, targeted a military target of the Israeli enemy in the occupied area of Jaffa with a hypersonic ballistic missile, type Palestine 2.
General Sarea added that the operation achieved its goals successfully.
“The Yemeni Armed Forces, along with all the free people of the great Yemeni people, are fully prepared and ready to confront the Israeli-American-British aggression, and with the help of Allah Almighty, they will continue to perform their religious, moral and humanitarian duty towards the oppressed Palestinian people by supporting the resistance in Gaza with more military operations until the aggression on Gaza stops and the siege is lifted.”
Military and strategic expert Brigadier General Abdulghani Al-Zubaidi stressed, in a statement to Al-Manar TV, that Yemen entered the Battle of the Flood of Al-Aqsa, realizing that the enemy may commit many foolish acts and has the capabilities to kill, destroy, and target Yemeni facilities, stressing that the enemy does not have a military target bank in Yemen and does not have a strategic vision regarding dealing with this issue.
Israeli occupation army said the missile was ballistic and was fired from Yemen, claiming to it managed to intercept the missile before it entered the airspace of occupied Palestine.
Times of Israel quoted and Israeli military source as saying that the projectile was shot down using the long-range Arrow air defense system.
Sirens were triggered across central between Herzliya and Ashdod, as well as in several towns east of Beersheba, as a precaution due to the possibility of fragments landing following the interception, the occupation military said.
