Yemen’s Minister of Defense and Military Production, Major General Mohammad Nasser al-Atifi, affirmed on Tuesday that the Yemeni Armed Forces are fully capable of launching missile and drone strikes against strategic targets inside the occupied Palestinian territories at any time and under any conditions.

Al-Atifi stated that “Yemen’s defensive and offensive capabilities continue to advance, reaching longer ranges, higher accuracy, and greater impact.” He emphasized that the ongoing aggression has only reinforced this trajectory, enabling Yemen to accelerate the development of modern military technologies.

He further asserted that Yemeni forces were ready to maintain active and effective support for Palestinian Resistance factions and the people of Gaza, who are waging a battle of dignity in defense of the Islamic world and sanctities against the Israeli occupation.

Al-Atifi also noted that Yemen has succeeded in thwarting US-led aggression and challenging the dominance of aircraft carriers and naval fleets in regional waters. He declared that a new era of warfare has begun, marked by the rise of hypersonic missiles and unmanned aerial combat systems.

Earlier today, the Israeli occupation military confirmed the launch of a ballistic missile from Yemen targeting the occupied territories, triggering widespread alarm across central and southern occupied Palestine, including the al-Quds area and illegal settlements in the southern West Bank.

According to the Israeli military, sirens were activated in multiple locations as air defense systems attempted to intercept the incoming projectile, claiming it was actively working to down the missile, which marks the latest operation in a series of long-range attacks launched from Yemen.

Since the Israeli occupation resumed its large-scale assault on Gaza on March 18, Yemen's Ansar Allah movement has intensified its support for Palestinians by launching 44 ballistic missiles and at least 10 drones toward the occupied Palestinian territories.

While many of these projectiles have reportedly failed to reach their targets, the continued launches have exposed vulnerabilities in the Israeli security posture and forced repeated disruptions across vast areas.

Yemen attacks Ben Gurion airport

The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) announced on Monday carrying out a ballistic missile strike, targeting Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv (occupied Yafa), in response to the ongoing Israeli aggression against Gaza and violations at Al Aqsa Mosque.

According to a statement by Yemeni military spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the operation involved a Zulfiqar ballistic missile and "successfully hit its target with precision," reportedly forcing four million Israelis into shelters and disrupting air traffic at the airport.

The statement framed the attack as a response "to the genocide and starvation crimes in Gaza, and the desecration of Al Aqsa Mosque," and emphasized solidarity with the Palestinian people and armed factions resisting Israeli forces.

"The Yemeni Armed Forces continue to monitor developments in Gaza, salute the sacrifices of its steadfast people, and extend a pan-Arab and Islamic military greeting to the al-Qassam Brigades, al-Quds Brigades, and all Resistance fighters," the statement read.
