Yemeni Armed Forces carried out on Friday a fresh strike on the Zionist entity’s Ben Gurion Airport, employing a hypersonic ballistic missile in response to the Israeli genocide in Gaza.
The Yemeni revolutionary forces announced in a statement that they “carried out a specific military operation targeting Lod Airport, Israeli named ‘Ben Gurion’, in the occupied area of Yaffa, using a hypersonic ballistic missile”.
“The operation has successfully achieved its objective, causing millions of herds of usurping Zionists to flee to shelters and halting airport operations,” Yemeni Military Spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree said in the statement said.
He vowed that the operations “are ongoing and will escalate, with Allah’s help and reliance on Allah, until the aggression against Gaza stops and the siege is lifted.”

The Israeli military said the missile fired from Yemen activated sirens in the central region of the Israeli-occupied territories.
In a statement, the Israeli army confirmed that air raid sirens were triggered in Tel Aviv and other locations across central occupied lands, on Friday morning, warning of incoming rocket fire.
The military went on to claim that its anti-air missile systems intercepted the projectile.

The Yemeni operation came just hours after the Yemeni Armed Forces announced a missile attack targeting the Ben Gurion Airport, followed by another strike at noon aimed at occupied territories.
The Yemeni revolutionaries have been for long months launching strikes on Israelis targets in the occupied territories in support of the oppressed people of Palestine. Despite aggression on several governorates across the Arab impoverished country, Yemeni Armed Forces have repeatedly vowed that they won’t abandon Palestine and Gaza which has been subjected to genocidal Israeli war since October 2023.
