The spokesman of the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) announced at dawn on Sunday that a missile had been launched from Yemeni territory toward occupied Palestine.
Sirens were activated across the central and western Dead Sea regions, while Israeli media outlets reported multiple explosions in central areas. According to local reports, the explosions were likely caused by interception attempts targeting the missile.
Israeli media also confirmed that airspace over Ben Gurion Airport was temporarily closed following the launch — a measure reflecting the heightened security alert within the occupation entity.
Ansar Allah: Continued Operations in Support of Gaza
The leader of Yemen's Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, condemned Washington and Tel Aviv's ongoing aggression against the Palestinian people, warning that the US and "Israel" are jointly working to disarm the Palestinian resistance and empty Gaza of its defenders under the guise of so-called peace plans.
Reaffirming Yemen's steadfast position, Sayyed al-Houthi announced that operations in support of Gaza continue as part of what he described as "the sacred jihad and the promised victory."
He revealed that the Yemeni armed forces carried out 18 operations in the past week alone, involving missile and drone strikes on Israeli-linked targets, naval actions, and enforcement of navigation restrictions against ships bound for occupied ports.
Among the targeted vessels was one violating Yemen's navigation ban toward "Israel," bringing the total number of intercepted or struck ships to 228, a figure that reflects the seriousness and impact of Yemen's position.
He said these operations disrupted the port of Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat), inflicted economic losses, and asserted control over strategic maritime routes from the Red Sea to the Bab al-Mandab and the Gulf of Aden, a message that resistance cannot be blockaded.
