The Yemeni Armed Forces announced on Thursday evening that they carried out a military operation targeting Ben Gurion Airport, in the occupied city of Yafa, using a hypersonic ballistic missile.

Brigadier General Yahya Saree, spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, confirmed the missile strike successfully hit its target, disrupting air traffic and forcing "millions of Zionist settlers into shelters."

"This operation reaffirms the continuation of the Yemeni Armed Forces in fulfilling their religious, moral, and humanitarian duty toward our brothers in Palestine until the aggression stops and the siege is lifted," Saree said in a statement.

Earlier today, sirens blasted in Tel Aviv and surrounding areas after a missile launched from Yemen entered occupied airspace on Thursday, triggering widespread panic. The Israeli military later claimed the missile had been intercepted.

Continuation of the aerial blockade on 'Israel'

Saree emphasized that Yemen will maintain its aerial blockade on the occupation entity, preventing air traffic to and from Lydd [Ben Gurion] Airport. He also warned that any Israeli aggression against Yemen will be met with further military operations in direct support of the Palestinian people.

The operation marks a significant escalation in Yemen’s declared strategy of supporting Gaza by targeting key infrastructure within the occupation. Recent weeks have seen repeated missile and drone strikes that disrupted air traffic and prompted multiple international airlines to suspend flights to and from the occupied territories.

Yemen’s leadership has reiterated that these operations will continue until "Israel" ends its aggression on Gaza and lifts the suffocating blockade imposed on the Palestinian population.

Ansar Allah warns international airlines

Meanwhile, Nasreddin Amer, Deputy Head of the Media Authority for the Ansar Allah movement, stated on X, “The Lydd Airport, known to Israel as Ben Gurion, is no longer safe as we have previously stated.” He emphasized that Yemeni military operations will continue to target the airport and other sites linked to the occupation.

Amer issued a direct warning to international airlines, urging them to avoid operating at the airport for the safety of passengers, “until the aggression on Gaza ceases and the siege is lifted.”
