The Yemeni Armed Forces announced that their domestically developed Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile struck a strategic Israeli target in the occupied Beer al-Sabe' area. The missile strike was part of a broader coordinated campaign that included three drone attacks.
According to a statement released by the Yemeni military spokesperson, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the operation targeted what was described as a “sensitive site belonging to the Zionist enemy.” The nature of the target was not specified, but the spokesperson emphasized that the missile strike "achieved its objective with precision."
In addition to the missile launch, Saree confirmed that the Yemeni Air Force conducted three separate drone attacks targeting strategic sites in Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat), Askalan, and Khodeira (Hadera), located just south of Haifa. All three drone strikes were said to have successfully achieved their objectives.
The statement framed the attacks as part of an ongoing campaign to pressure the Israeli occupation to halt its aggression on Gaza and lift the ongoing blockade, which has triggered a growing humanitarian catastrophe. “Our operations will not stop until the aggression on Gaza ends and the siege is lifted,” the Yemeni Armed Forces declared.
Brigadier General Saree warned that further escalatory actions are being considered, reaffirming Yemen’s commitment to the Palestinian cause. “We will not retreat from our steadfast position in supporting the oppressed Palestinian people, regardless of the consequences,” the statement read.
Sirens triggered across southern West Bank, near Dead Sea
Earlier today, the Israeli occupation military reported the detection of a ballistic missile launched from Yemen.
According to Israeli media, the missile triggered air raid sirens across several settlements in the southern West Bank and in communities near the Dead Sea. The alerts were sounded just minutes after initial military warnings of an inbound threat.
Israeli military officials said the projectile was part of a broader campaign of aerial attacks originating from Yemen.
Yemen reaffirms Gaza support, condemns Arab complicity, Israeli crimes
Earlier today, Yemenis held yet another million-strong demonstration, condemning Arab inaction toward Gaza while reaffirming Yemeni support for Palestine, while denouncing "Israel's" siege and starvation of Palestinians amid calls for confrontation.
The Yemeni Marches Committee declared that the silence and inaction of Arab leaders have emboldened "Israel" to continue and escalate its crimes.
The statement also welcomed and praised the announcement by the Yemeni leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi that further retaliatory measures against "Israel" are being considered, expressing full trust that Sanaa's leadership will not spare an effort to support and defend Gaza.
It also asserted that Yemen is prepared to face any repercussions resulting from the battle against "Israel" and support for Gaza and its people, emphasizing commitment to the popular and official stance, supportive of Palestine and Gaza as part of their religious duty.
Yemen remains steadfast in supporting Gaza
On July 24, Yemeni leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi once again called on nations situated between Yemen and Palestine to "open transit routes for our people," enabling mass mobilization of hundreds of thousands of Yemenis in solidarity with Gaza.
Yemen continues to launch operations against "Israel" in support of Gaza, most recently launching a precise military operation targeting the Ben Gurion Airport with a Palestine-2 ballistic missile on July 22, forcing millions of settlers into shelters and paralyzing activity at the airport.
Brigadier General Yehya Saree emphasized at the time that the operation was carried out in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their Resistance, directly countering the Israeli occupation's genocidal campaign in Gaza and reaffirming that such military operations would continue unabated until the aggression ceases and the siege is fully lifted.
