The Yemeni Armed Forces have confirmed a successful missile strike on Lod Airport in ‘Israel’, promising further actions in support of the Palestinian people.
The operation was announced in a statement on Thursday by Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the official spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces. He stated that the missile force carried out a “qualitative military operation” targeting the airport in the occupied city of Jaffa using a “Zulfiqar” ballistic missile.

Saree stressed that “this operation comes in response to the brutal crimes committed by the Zionist enemy entity against the Palestinian people in Gaza, including killing, starvation, and siege, and as part of the initial response to the Zionist targeting of Yemeni lands.” He noted that “the cowardly, and even complicit, Arab and Islamic stance encourages the enemy to proceed with its criminal plan against the Palestinian people,” warning that “the silence of the regimes will lead to an even greater humanitarian catastrophe.”
Saree affirmed that “the Yemeni people will continue their full and continuous support for the people of Gaza until the aggression stops and the siege is lifted,” calling on “the Arab and Islamic peoples to take serious action and assume their religious and humanitarian responsibility.”
