The Israeli military announced Friday that a missile had been launched from Yemen toward the occupied territories, triggering air raid sirens across a broad swath of territory, from occupied al-Quds and Tel Aviv to HaShfela, Gush Dan, and even Al-Khalil.

As with previous incidents, operations at Ben Gurion Airport were suspended, according to The Times of Israel.

Footage circulating on social media captured scenes of chaos, as settlers fled beaches and rushed to bomb shelters amid rising panic in Tel Aviv and surrounding areas.

According to The Times of Israel, "The Friday attack came three days after the US announced that it had reached a ceasefire with the Yemeni terror group." Despite this ceasefire, the Yemeni Armed Forces have reiterated their commitment to continuing operations against "Israel."

Since the renewed Israeli offensive on Gaza began on March 18, Yemen has reportedly launched around 28 ballistic missiles and dozens of drones toward Israeli targets. One such operation successfully struck Ben Gurion Airport.

Israeli defense systems failed to intercept the missile, reflecting the growing reach and precision of Yemen's long-range capabilities.

In an unprecedented move, the Yemeni Armed Forces declared their intent to impose a full aerial blockade on "Israel" by repeatedly targeting its airports, most notably Lod Airport, known under the occupation as Ben Gurion.

This escalation, they affirmed, is part of Yemen's unwavering support for the Palestinian people, who continue to endure more than a year and a half of relentless Israeli aggression.
