Abu Obeida, the military spokesperson for Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades, called Thursday upon all the free people of the Ummah to join the battle in defense of Al-Aqsa and to continue their support for Gaza in order to shatter "Israel's" arrogance and force it to halt its ongoing aggression.

On his official channel on Telegram, Abu Obeida extended salutations "to our sincere brothers in Yemen for their honorable stance and their direct support for their brethren in Gaza, despite the heavy price they pay for their loyalty to Al-Aqsa and Palestine."

"Today, Yemen’s missiles have intersected with those of Gaza in the skies over Tel Aviv, reaffirming that Gaza is not alone and that behind it stand free men of the Ummah who will never surrender it to its arrogant enemies," he said.

Earlier on Thursday, the al-Qassam Brigades announced that it had launched a rocket barrage of M90 Maqadma missiles at Tel Aviv in response to the massacres committed by the Israeli occupation against civilians in the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli military confirmed detecting three rockets fired from Gaza toward central occupied Palestine, triggering sirens in Tel Aviv, Gush Dan, and surrounding settlements.

Israeli media: Rocket shrapnel falls in Rishon LeZion

Israeli media reported that several locations where rocket shrapnel had fallen in Rishon LeZion were identified, adding that Israeli security forces are working to neutralize them.

The media also reported that sirens were activated due to rockets launched from Gaza in the Gush Dan area, leading to the suspension of flight landings and takeoffs at Ben Gurion Airport. According to the reports, "Aircraft are now circling without being allowed to land or take off."

This came after sirens sounded across central Israeli-occupied Palestine, including in Tel Aviv and al-Quds, following a ballistic missile strike, originating from Yemen.

The sirens were sounded at 4:01 am (local time), while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was at the Knesset, Israeli Channel 14 reported.

Netanyahu was reportedly escorted to a bomb shelter during the event. Countless other settlers also rushed to safe areas, where 13 were injured due to stampedes.

Later, the spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF), Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced that the YAF's Rocket Force fired a Palestine-2 hypersonic missile at the Ben Gurion Airport in response to the ongoing Israeli massacres against Palestinians.

Saree also mentioned that various branches of the YAF conducted coordinated attacks against the American aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman and other vessels in the Red Sea.

This marked the second strike launched by the YAF since the renewal of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, which also coincides with renewed US-led strikes on Yemen.

In violation of a ceasefire agreement, "Israel" renewed early on Tuesday its war on the Gaza Strip, killing at least 504 people, including more than 190 children, according to the civil defense agency in the Palestinian enclave.

On Wednesday, the Israeli occupation announced renewed ground operations in Gaza and issued what it called a "last warning" to residents of the territory to return captives and remove Hamas from power.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent confirmed that the Israeli occupation military has once again cut off northern Gaza from the central and southern regions and has reestablished control over the Netzarim axis.
