The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) carried out a top-tier military operation targeting Ben Gurion Airport in the occupied Yafa region with a Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile, spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced on Friday.
The missile successfully reached its target despite the enemy’s attempts to conceal it and resulted in casualties and the suspension of airport operations, Saree confirmed.
He also said that the YAF's UAV Force conducted a military operation targeting a vital Israeli site in the occupied Yafa region (Tel Aviv) using a drone, which achieved its objective successfully.
Moreover, the UAV Force carried out another operation targeting the ship Santa Ursula in the Arabian Sea east of Socotra Island using several drones, achieving a direct hit, the spokesperson confirmed.
The targeting of the ship came after its owning company violated the ban imposed by the YAF on entering the ports of occupied Palestine, Saree said.
He indicated that the three operations were in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their resistance and in response to the massacres in Gaza, and were part of the fifth phase of the operations in support of Gaza and in retaliation for the Israeli aggression against Yemen.
On Thursday, the Israeli occupation launched a large-scale attack on Yemen while the leader of the Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul Malik al-Houthi, was delivering his speech.
A source told Al Mayadeen that the Israeli aggression on Sanaa and al-Hodeidah targeted civilian facilities and was carried out with the US and UK's coordination and support.
The source also said that targeting civilian facilities is evidence of the occupation's failure to have a clear target list within the country, stressing that this "will not change the course of the war and will be met with a similar response."
Al Mayadeen's correspondent, in turn, also confirmed that the Israeli occupation's aggression targeted a gathering of travelers, including patients, at the Sanaa International Airport terminal, and also targeted airport control towers.
Touching on the aggression, Saree underlined that it will only strengthen the resolve and determination of the Yemeni people to continue supporting the Palestinian people.
He emphasized that the YAF possess the capabilities to expand their target bank in occupied Palestine to include more vital Israeli targets, affirming that these operations will not cease until the Israeli aggression on Gaza is halted and the siege imposed on the Palestinian strip is lifted.
