The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) have launched a series of military strikes targeting Israeli and US assets, including Ben Gurion Airport and enemy warships in the Red Sea, according to a statement by the Yemeni Armed Forces spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree.

Saree announced that Yemeni forces successfully struck Ben Gurion Airport in occupied Yafa with a Zulfiqar ballistic missile, while a Palestine 2 hypersonic ballistic missile hit a military target in the southern part of the area. Both operations achieved their objectives, as per the YAF spokesperson.

In a significant escalation, Yemeni forces also carried out a joint military operation in the Red Sea, targeting US and allied naval forces, including the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier. The attack involved ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones.

YAF escalate military operations

Saree added that the Yemeni Armed Forces significantly escalated their military operations, thwarting enemy warships' advances in the southern Red Sea and launching fresh missile strikes on "Israel".

In a statement on Thursday, the Yemeni military confirmed that its defensive operations had successfully repelled naval incursions, vowing to continue expanding its military response in the coming days.

"The enemy will witness more of the might of Yemen’s unyielding people—strength, determination, resilience, and unwavering faith," the statement read.

The YAF also reaffirmed their commitment to blocking Israeli navigation in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea, emphasizing their ongoing support for Gaza until the blockade is lifted.

Meanwhile, Israeli media reported that two missiles were launched from Yemen toward "Israel", triggering air raid sirens and explosions across central regions. The Israeli military confirmed that missile debris fell on a major highway connecting Tel Aviv to occupied al-Quds, causing widespread panic.

Following the attack, operations at Ben Gurion Airport were temporarily suspended as millions of settlers sought shelter, according to Israeli reports. The escalation follows Yemen’s drone strike on Israeli military targets in occupied Yafa on Wednesday, not to mention military operation targeting the United States Navy Carrier Strike Group 8, which lasted for hours, and a missile attack on Ben Gurion Airport earlier in the week.

It is worth noting that Yemen has vowed, despite the brutal US- UK aggression, to continue its military operations against Israeli targets and maintain its blockade on Israeli maritime activity until the ongoing war on Gaza ends.

US launches new aggression on Yemen with 15 airstrikes

Meanwhile, the US carried out a new aggression with 15 airstrikes on the southern and northeastern outskirts of the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, on Wednesday evening, Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported.

The airstrikes targeted the Jirban area in the Sanhan district, south of Sanaa, as well as the al-Khadam area and Jabal al-Jamima in the Bani Houshesh district to the east, in addition to the al-Dailami Air Base to the north, according to our correspondent.

He added that eight airstrikes targeted the Jirban area in Sanhan district, while five strikes hit the al-Khadam and Jamima Rajam areas in the Bani Hushaysh district.

Additionally, Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported that US warplanes bombed the vicinity of Sanaa International Airport.

Yemen's Al-Masirah TV had earlier reported 17 raids by the United States "on the Saada governorate," on top of two more on Amran.

The official news agency, SABA, said that "the American aggression targeted the Oncology Hospital building in Saada."

Sanaa's Health Ministry confirmed that two civilians were wounded in the latest hospital attack, which it described as "a full-fledged war crime."
