The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) have released a video clip identifying the coordinates and names of three key Israeli airports across occupied Palestine.

The footage, published by Yemeni military media, was labeled with the phrase "unsafe airports" in both Arabic and Hebrew, signaling an escalation in Yemen’s military stance following recent aggression against the country.

The identified airports are:

  • Lod Airport, known in "Israel" as Ben Gurion Airport
  • Haifa Airport
  • Ramon Airport in Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat)

The video labels Ben Gurion, Haifa, and Ramon Airports as ‘unsafe’.

The video was released after the Israeli occupation launched an airstrike on Sanaa International Airport last Tuesday. In response, Yemeni officials vowed to retaliate, targeting airports within the occupied territories. 

The video marks a significant shift in the regional equation, with Yemen openly threatening to disrupt "Israel's" airspace and civil aviation hubs.

This is not the first time the YAF struck inside occupied Palestine. A prior operation targeting Ben Gurion Airport was declared a success, as the missile reached its intended target despite "Israel’s" interception systems, which failed to neutralize the projectile launched from Yemen.

In a statement following the recent escalation, the YAF declared that they would “impose a comprehensive air blockade on the Israeli enemy by repeatedly targeting airports, most notably Lod Airport, ‘Ben Gurion Airport.’”

The announcement signals a broader campaign aimed at restricting the occupation’s air mobility, particularly as it intensifies its aggression against the Palestinian people.

This latest development aligns with Yemen’s consistent position in solidarity with the Palestinian cause. The Yemeni Armed Forces have reiterated that their operations are part of ongoing support for the Palestinian people, who have endured more than a year and a half of Israeli aggression.

By directly targeting strategic infrastructure, the Yemeni Armed Forces are escalating their involvement in regional resistance, positioning themselves as a central force in the broader axis backing Palestine.

US-Yemeni ceasefire excludes strikes on 'Israel': Ansar Allah

A newly announced ceasefire between the US and Yemen, mediated by Oman, will not extend to the cessation of attacks on "Israel", Ansar Allah revealed on Wednesday. 

The announcement follows months of escalating tension in the Red Sea region and the intensification of US military operations under Operation Rough Rider.

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced that the United States would immediately stop bombing Ansar Allah positions in Yemen, claiming the group had agreed to halt attacks on US naval assets, and Oman confirmed it had brokered the deal.

However, Ansar Allah made clear the agreement was limited in scope, stressing that “The agreement does not include 'Israel' in any way, shape or form,” said Mohammed Abdulsalam, the group’s chief negotiator, in comments to Reuters.

“As long as they announced the cessation (of US strikes) and they are committed to that, our position was self-defense, so we will stop,” he added.
