The Yemeni Armed Forces' (YAF) spokesperson, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, said that the YAF's Rocket Force launched a Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile at the Israeli Ben Gurion Airport. 

As a result, sirens blared in almost two dozen major Israeli-occupied cities, including multiple city settlements in Tel Aviv and in occupied al-Quds and Beit Shemesh. 

Ben Gurion Airport is no longer safe for air traffic

Saree 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.

Earlier, the Israeli occupation's military command said that sirens were activated late on Friday in multiple areas in central occupied Palestine following the launch of a missile from Yemen, adding that the projectile was intercepted.

Sounds of interceptor missile explosions were heard across central areas and occupied al-Quds. Israeli media reported a temporary suspension of air traffic at the main Ben Gurion Airport.

This marks the fourth time this week that Yemen has targeted central "Israel", following a two-month pause in operations coinciding with a ceasefire agreement in Gaza, which "Israel" last week violated by resuming its war on the Palestinian enclave.

Saree announces additional attacks on US Navy

As for the ongoing confrontation at sea, Saree announced that the YAF's Unmanned Air Force launched multiple one-way attack drones at United States Navy vessels deployed alongside the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman in the Red Sea. 

These sporadic attacks come in the context of the US's attempts to force Yemen into halting its support for the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip. US aircraft, taking off from the flagship of Carrier Strike Group 8, have conducted dozens of air strikes indiscriminately targeting Yemeni civilians, civilian infrastructure, and military targets. 

Yemen's support for Palestine: Principled

Overnight on Friday, the YAF announced that they had struck an Israeli military target south of occupied Yafa using a Palestine-2 missile.  

In a statement, YAF spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree confirmed that the operation successfully hit its target, noting that this was the second operation within 24 hours, following an earlier attack on Ben Gurion Airport using the same Palestine-2 hypersonic missile.

Saree emphasized that the YAF's military operations in support of Gaza will continue regardless of the ongoing US aggression on Yemen, underscoring that these operations, along with a Yemeni blockade on Israeli navigation, will persist until the aggression against Gaza ceases and the siege is lifted.
