The Rocket Force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a top-tier military operation targeting Lydd Airport, also known as Ben Gurion Airport in "Israel", in the occupied area of Yafa (Tel Aviv) with a hypersonic ballistic missile, spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced on Sunday.

Saree confirmed that the operation successfully achieved its objective, forcing millions of Israeli settlers into shelters and halting operations at the airport.

Three YAF operations against vital Israeli sites

Additionally, the YAF's UAV Unit carried out three military operations targeting three vital Israeli sites in the areas of Yafa, Isdud, and Umm al-Rashrash in occupied Palestine using three drones, the spokesperson affirmed.

He said the operations were in support of the oppressed Palestinian people and their Resistance fighters and in rejection of the genocide being committed by "Israel" in the Gaza Strip.

YAF seek to impose full ban on Ben Gurion Airport

Saree indicated that following the successful imposition of a partial ban on air traffic at Lydd Airport, the Yemeni Armed Forces are working to impose a full ban on air traffic at the aforementioned airport in the coming period.

The remaining airlines that have not yet complied with the ban are urged to take this warning into account for the safety of their aircraft and passengers, he added.

The spokesperson reiterated that the YAF's operations will not cease until the Israeli aggression against Gaza is halted and the siege imposed on the Palestinian enclave is lifted.

Yemeni missile closes airspace at Ben Gurion Airport

Earlier on Sunday, Israeli media reported that airspace at Ben Gurion Airport was closed and flights to and from the airport were halted, coinciding with the sounding of air raid sirens in Tel Aviv and areas west of occupied al-Quds, following the detection of a ballistic missile launched from Yemen.

The media reported that the Yemeni missile forced millions of Israelis into shelters.

Military operations carried out by the Yemeni Armed Forces continue as part of the air blockade imposed on the Israeli entity, through repeated missile strikes targeting Ben Gurion Airport in recent weeks.

These attacks have caused repeated air disruptions, paralyzed air traffic, and prompted a number of international airlines to suspend flights to the occupied territories.

'Leave immediately': Yemeni MoD warns foreign investors in 'Israel'

Just yesterday, a source in Yemen’s Ministry of Defense issued a stark warning to foreign investors and companies operating within the Israeli entity, advising them to "leave immediately" as the security in the region continues to deteriorate.

"Foreign investors and companies operating in the Zionist entity should leave immediately, as the environment will not be safe," the source told SABA news agency, adding, "It is best to do so while the opportunity remains."

The source highlighted the capabilities of Yemen’s missile arsenal, stating that its warheads are engineered to fragment upon interception, allowing them to strike a wider array of targets.

Sanaa's al-Mashat warns bunkers no longer safe for Israeli settlers

On May 28, the head of Yemen's Supreme Political Council, Mahdi al-Mashat, affirmed that Yemeni missiles will reach their intended targets, warning that the surprises awaiting "Israel" will be harmful. 

Addressing Israeli settlers as he toured Sanaa International Airport to inspect the damage caused by the Israeli aggression on the civilian facility, al-Mashat said the government of Netanyahu "will not be able to protect you.”

He warned that "Yemeni missiles are capable of reaching their targets, and bunkers will no longer be safe.”

Earlier, the leader of the Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, affirmed that the Yemeni operations will only intensify in the coming period to further pressure "Israel".

"We aim to escalate our actions to support the Palestinian people. Our next steps will be more effective and impactful," he vowed.
