The Missile Force of the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) carried out a military operation targeting a vital Israeli in the occupied Haifa area, using a hypersonic ballistic missile, the second launched within hours, spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced on Friday.
The missile successfully struck its target, forcing millions of settlers to flee to shelters, Saree confirmed, adding that the operation was in support of the Palestinian people in Gaza and their Resistance amid the ongoing genocidal war waged by "Israel".
The spokesperson said the YAF urge all Arab and Islamic peoples to fulfill their religious, moral, and humanitarian responsibilities toward the oppressed Palestinian people and to take urgent action in all countries to stop the genocide and lift the blockade on the Gaza Strip.
The YAF affirm that they will continue their operations in support of Gaza and the imposition of a naval blockade on "Israel" from the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea, Saree stressed.
The YAF spokesperson emphasized that the US, with its military power and brutal aggression, has failed to break this blockade, which will continue until the Israeli war against Gaza ends and the siege imposed on the Palestinian enclave is lifted.
Yemeni hypersonic Palestine-2 missile strikes Ramat David Airbase
Earlier on Friday, Saree announced the successful launch of a hypersonic ballistic missile targeting the Israeli Ramat David Airbase, located east of the occupied city of Haifa.
He confirmed that the strike was carried out using the Palestine 2 hypersonic missile, adding that the missile reached its target with precision, while "Israel’s" interception systems failed to stop it.
Following the missile launch, Israeli media reported widespread alarm in the north of occupied Palestine.
Sirens were activated in over 250 locations, including Haifa, al-Nasirah, Afula, and Wadi Ara, amid fears of additional strikes from Yemen.
