The Rocket Force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a top-tier military operation targeting Lydd Airport (referred to as Ben-Gurion Airport in "Israel"), in the occupied city of Yafa, YAF spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced Sunday morning.

The operation involved two ballistic missiles: one hypersonic missile named Palestine 2 and the other Zulfiqar, according to Saree.

He confirmed that the operation successfully achieved its objective, forcing millions of Israeli settlers into shelters and bringing air traffic at the airport to come to a halt for nearly an hour.

Earlier yesterday morning, the YAF's UAV Unit had also conducted a military operation targeting Lydd Airport using a Yafa-typed drone, the spokesperson added.

Saree reiterated that the operations were in support of the oppressed Palestinian people and their Resistance fighters and in rejection of the genocide committed by "Israel" in the Gaza Strip.

In his statement, Saree warned that "this widespread failure and inaction will only embolden the enemy to further transgress against all nations and peoples."

As for Yemen, the YAF spokesperson affirmed that it will continue its support, mobilization, and backing until the Israeli aggression against Gaza ends and the siege imposed on the Palestinian enclave is lifted.

Yemeni missile triggers sirens across Tel Aviv

Earlier, a missile reportedly launched from Yemen triggered air raid sirens across multiple settlements in occupied Palestine, including Tel Aviv, occupied Lydd, Netanya, Holon, Ramat HaSharon, Ra'anana, and Herzeliya. The alerts caused widespread panic as settlers scrambled for cover.

Israeli occupation forces claimed the missile was intercepted, though Israeli media reported explosions were heard across the Tel Aviv Metropolitan area.

Israeli media: Yemen may push 'Israel' towards ceasefire in Gaza

The Israeli Channel 12 has suggested that Yemen may be pressuring "Israel" toward reaching an agreement to end the war on the Gaza Strip and secure the return of Israeli captives.

Regarding the YAF's efforts to impose a no-fly zone over "Israel", Channel 12 remarked, “One Yemeni missile per week is enough to see what happens to Ben Gurion Airport.”

The report noted that Air India has again postponed direct flights to "Israel", with service not expected to resume until at least June 19.

The channel highlighted Yemen as a unique and formidable challenge, describing the situation as "complicated" and adding that Yemen “cannot be defeated” due to its possession of hundreds of ballistic missiles.
