The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) successfully targeted an E-2 command and control aircraft belonging to the US aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman, a senior Sanaa government source told Al Mayadeen on Sunday. 

According to the source, "The Truman lost command capabilities following the attack, while both the White House and the US Department of Defense (Pentagon) have launched an investigation into the incident."

Details on the targeted E-2 aircraft

The targeted E-2 aircraft is designed to provide critical intelligence on potential threats faced by the warship during military operations. While it does not directly participate in attacks, it plays a crucial role in surveillance and tracking.

The aircraft, operated by a five-member crew—including two pilots and three radar specialists—lost its defensive protection, making it more vulnerable to attacks from Yemeni missiles and drones.

YAF target 'Israel's' Ben Gurion Airport

Earlier today, the Yemeni Armed Forces also announced that they had targeted "Israel's" Ben Gurion Airport in the occupied Yafa (Tel Aviv) area, spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced.

Saree stated that the military operation was carried out using a Zulfiqar ballistic missile and successfully achieved its objective, adding that the latest strike was in support of the Palestinian people and their Resistance.

The spokesperson pointed out that the YAF reaffirmed the failure of the US aggression in preventing Yemen from continuing its support for the Palestinian people.

He stressed that "dozens of daily airstrikes [on Yemen] will not deter the armed forces from fulfilling their duties," underscoring that Yemeni operations against "Israel" will persist until the aggression on Gaza ceases and the blockade imposed on the Palestinian enclave is lifted.

Sirens sounded across central "Israel" and al-Quds at midday on Sunday following the launch of a missile from Yemen. Debris was also found in Modi’in and Tel Aviv.

According to "Israel's" Channel 12, two people were injured in Gush Dan. One woman exited her vehicle when the sirens went off and fell into a five-meter-deep pit, while another person sustained a head injury in Tel Aviv while heading to a shelter.
