Air activity at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, occupied Palestine, has been completely halted amid the sounding of sirens as a result of a rocket launch coming from Yemen on Sunday morning, Israeli Channel 12 reported. 

Sirens had blasted in central occupied Palestine, including Tel Aviv and occupied al-Quds, according to the Israeli military, which claimed that the missile was intercepted. 

This was the fifth missile operation carried out by Yemen targeting "Israel" this week, Israeli media noted. 

The Yemeni Armed Forces had previously emphasized that Ben Gurion Airport is no longer safe for air traffic, warning that it will remain a target until the Israeli war on Gaza ends.

On March 18, the leader of the Ansar Allah Yemeni Resistance movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, stressed that "the Yemeni armed forces will resume their escalation at the highest levels against the occupation," directly addressing the Palestinian people: "You are not alone."

Sayyed Al-Houthi underscored that "there is no alternative to bearing responsibility in confronting and resisting the Israeli enemy," warning that "if Israel succeeds in eliminating the Palestinian cause, it will expand its crimes to other countries without any restraint."

Sayyed al-Houthi emphasized that "there are no longer any red lines," warning that "the occupation has shown no regard for any considerations as it carries out genocide, total destruction, and horrific killings."

Yemen has relentlessly backed Gaza, its Resistance, and its people, against the Israeli aggression, and continued monitoring the progress of negotiations and the ceasefire. When "Israel" blocked humanitarian aid entries into Gaza and refused to engage in the second phase of negotiations, Yemen re-established the naval ban on shipments sailing to occupied Palestinian ports. 

As a result, the United States and the United Kingdom renewed their aggression on Sanaa, mostly targeting civilian infrastructure and civilians.
