In a direct response to the ongoing genocide committed by the Israeli enemy against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced that the missile force of the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) carried out a high-level dual military operation early this week.
The operation included the launch of a Palestine-2 hypersonic missile, which struck al-Lydd Airport, known as Ben Gurion Airport, in the occupied city of Yafa [Tel Aviv]. The strike forced the facility to halt operations and sent millions of settlers into shelters.
Zulfiqar missile hits vital Israeli target
In parallel, a second missile of the Zulfiqar type targeted a key Israeli site east of occupied Yafa. The operation, according to the Armed Forces’ statement, successfully achieved its intended objectives, disrupting enemy infrastructure and reinforcing support for the steadfast Palestinian resistance in Gaza.
The YAF confirmed that the operation significantly impacted the Israeli entity’s air travel operations and sent waves of panic throughout the occupation’s infrastructure. The continued disruption at Ben Gurion Airport marked a notable escalation in the Yemeni response to the siege and starvation being imposed on Gaza.
A response to genocide in Gaza and Al-Aqsa desecration
The operation was also carried out in response to the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the desecration of its holy courtyards by thousands of illegal settlers.
The YAF emphasized that these continued violations, combined with the starvation and aggression in Gaza, represent an unprecedented atrocity in modern history, one that demands action from all free people and nations.
