Sirens sounded across the occupied al-Quds region and the Dead Sea area early Saturday, following the launch of a ballistic missile from Yemen, the third such launch in the past 24 hours, according to the Israeli occupation's Army Radio.
Yedioth Ahronoth noted that nearly 1.5 million settlers across occupied Palestine were jolted awake by the early morning alerts. The report highlighted the continued failure of the US-led aggression on Yemen to neutralize its military capabilities, despite over a month and a half having passed since the beginning of the US campaign.
On Friday, the Yemeni Armed Forces announced a new military operation targeting a critical facility belonging to the Israeli regime in the occupied Haifa area. The operation reportedly involved a hypersonic ballistic missile, the second of its kind launched within hours.
Yemeni Armed Forces spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree, spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, confirmed that the missile struck its target with high precision, forcing hundreds of thousands of settlers into shelters.
Successive Yemeni strikes
This latest attack came shortly after an earlier strike targeting the Israeli occupation’s Ramat David airbase in Haifa, using a Palestine-2 missile. The strikes mark a significant escalation as part of Yemen’s declared support for the Palestinian resistance in Gaza.
Israeli media cited an Israeli occupation forces spokesperson reporting a fire in the northern town of Tamra, caused by falling debris from an interceptor missile launched to counter a Yemeni projectile.
US warplanes launched a fresh wave of airstrikes early Saturday across several northern provinces in Yemen, escalating pressure amid the country’s continued support for Gaza.
According to the Official Yemeni News Agency (SABA), eight airstrikes struck the Khabb and al-Sha'af district in al-Jawf province. Another strike hit the Bani Hashish district in Sanaa province, northeast of the capital.
