The Yemeni Armed Forces have announced two military operations against "Israel", as part of their continued operations in support of Gaza.
In detail, YAF spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree stated that the first operation struck a sensitive Israeli target in the occupied area of Yafa with a Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile, while the second targeted Ramon Airport in the Umm al-Rashrash area of southern occupied Palestine with an unmanned drone.
According to Saree, the two operations achieved their objectives successfully, prompting millions of Israeli settlers to flee to shelter. He emphasized that the operation was done in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their suffering and in response to the recent Israeli aggression against Yemen.
"We reiterate our call to the sons of our nation to fulfill their responsibility toward our brothers in Gaza, who are facing genocide, starvation, and forced displacement," the YAF spokesperson added, warning that the Israeli aggression will expand to the countries in the region unless they stand up and resist the Israeli entity.
Israeli premiere jet forced to land amid Yemeni strike
Earlier, the Israeli occupation army announced that it detected a missile launch from Yemen on Tuesday evening, which sounded warning sirens in al-Quds, the center, Lachish, and the Shefela, according to Israeli media reports.
Following this, Israeli media confirmed that the special "Zion Wing" aircraft of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was forced to make an immediate landing in the wake of a missile launch from Yemen.
This comes after "Israel" bombed Yemen's Hodeidah port, while Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree stated that their air defenses engaged and countered the Israeli aircraft attacking the country.
"Israel" launched twelve airstrikes targeting the port in western Yemen, a civilian facility that has been repeatedly attacked. According to Al Mayadeen's correspondent, the port of Hodeidah, which was struck by Israeli occupation aircraft, is managed and utilized by United Nations teams.
Yemen remains steadfast in supporting Palestine
These developments occur as the Yemeni Armed Forces sustain their operations, striking various targets, such as Ben Gurion Airport, and maintaining a ban on shipping to Israeli ports, in support of Gaza until the aggression ends and the siege is lifted.
On September 13, the Yemeni Armed Forces announced a missile strike against what it described as sensitive Israeli targets. According to a statement by Brig. Gen. Yehya Saree, the operation targeted positions in occupied Yafa (Tel Aviv Metropolitan Area) with a Palestine-2 hypersonic missile equipped with multiple warheads.
The Yemeni Armed Forces announced Thursday that they executed two top-tier operations targeting sensitive Israeli military sites in occupied Palestine, using a hypersonic ballistic missile and three drones.
In a statement, the YAF spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree detailed that an Israeli military target in the occupied al-Naqab region came under attack with a Palestine 2 hypersonic ballistic missile.
He added that another military operation was carried out via three drones, two of which targeted Ramon Airport, in Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat) within the occupied Palestinian territory, while the third hit a military target also in the occupied al-Naqab region.
