The Yemeni Armed Forces said in a statement Thursday evening that “the Yemeni missile force carried out a military operation targeting Lod Airport, known in ‘Israel’ as Ben Gurion Airport, in the occupied Jaffa region.”
Brigadier General Yahya Saree, spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, confirmed the missile strike successfully hit its target, disrupting air traffic and forcing “millions of Zionist settlers into shelters.”

“This operation reaffirms the continuation of the Yemeni Armed Forces in fulfilling their religious, moral, and humanitarian duty toward our brothers in Palestine until the aggression stops and the siege is lifted,” Saree said in a statement.
Saree added “With trust in God, they will confront every Israeli aggression against our country with more supportive operations for the oppressed Palestinian people, including the continued ban on Israeli air traffic to and from Lod Airport.”

During the launch of the Yemeni missile, and before it landed in its designated location, air raid sirens sounded in several areas in occupied Palestine, prompting millions of Zionists to flee to shelters.
The Israeli chief of staff, Isaac Herzog, also fled from the scene, having been watching a soccer match in Tel Aviv. In this context, the enemy’s media reported that “during the flight of the Yemeni missile, the Israeli president was evacuated from the platform of a soccer stadium.”
