A Yemeni hypersonic ballistic missile struck an Israeli military target in occupied Yafa (Tel Aviv), on Tuesday, the spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced.

The operation came in support of the Palestinian and Lebanese people and their Resistance movements, Saree explained.

The YAF's Rocket Force fired the Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile at the military target on Tuesday. Saree emphasized that the missile bypassed all Israeli and American air defense systems in the region before striking its target.

"The Yemeni Armed Forces confirms that it will continue to execute its military operations against the Israeli enemy until the aggression and siege on Gaza are ended and the aggression on Lebanon is stopped," Saree underlined.

It is worth noting that Israeli media outlets did not report any interception attempt of a ballistic missile over Tel Aviv on Tuesday. This contrasts with previous instances where the Israeli military command rushes to announce successful interceptions.

Moreover, sirens sounded in Tel Aviv at 7:45 am (local time), however, the event was attributed to precision-guided rocket artillery weapons launched by Hezbollah fighters from Lebanon.

Earlier, on Friday, Saree announced that the Yemeni Air Force targeted the ship MEGALOPOLIS in the Arabian Sea using several drones, confirming that the objectives of the operation were achieved.

Saree said the operation came after its operating company violated the decision to ban entry into the Israeli-occupied ports in Palestine.

Saree also saluted the fighters in Gaza and Lebanon, stressing that the martyrdom of the great leader, head of the political bureau of Hamas, Yahya Sinwar, will only make the Resistance, and all the free people in the world, more determined to continue on the path of liberation and victory.
