The Yemeni Armed Forces announced on Monday that they carried out a new military operation inside occupied Palestine, marking the second such strike in as many days.

According to the military statement, three drones targeted Lod Airport in Yafa, Ramon Airport in Um al-Rashrash, and a sensitive site in Dimona. The statement confirmed that the operation successfully achieved its objectives.

The Yemeni Armed Forces praised what they described as “blessed jihadist operations in al-Quds and Gaza,” stressing that they highlighted the vitality of the Palestinian people and the ability of their youth to carry out effective strikes while exposing the fragility of the enemy’s security measures despite its tightened precautions.

Reaffirming their support for the Palestinian struggle, the Yemeni statement added, “We will continue to back you until the aggression is halted and the siege is lifted. May your efforts and resistance be blessed, and may God guide your strikes.”

Israeli Channel 14 confirmed that an explosion occurred inside Ramon Airport as a result of a Yemeni drone strike, while eyewitnesses reported hearing a powerful blast in the area.

The Yemeni Armed Forces continue to launch operations targeting "Israel", in support of the Palestinians in Gaza and in response to "Israel" killing the Yemeni prime minister and several ministers in airstrikes on Sanaa.

Israeli Channel 14 confirmed on Monday that an explosion had occurred inside Ramon Airport as a result of a Yemeni drone strike, while witnesses reported that a powerful explosion was heard across the area. Meanwhile, Israeli media clarified that sirens were activated in the vicinity of the airport, noting that the Israeli authorities closed the airspace around the facility.

Israeli media additionally reported that sirens sounded across southern "Israel" following another drone attack by the Yemeni forces, while additional sirens were activated in the southern Negev region over concerns of a potential drone infiltration near the Dimona area and the Rotem industrial zone.

An Israeli media platform reported that this drone was aimed at the Dimona nuclear research center but was intercepted.

Yemen achieves direct hit against Ramon airport

On September 7, the Yemeni Armed Forces announced that their UAV unit conducted a major operation, striking multiple targets. They stated that their drones achieved a direct impact on Ramon Airport in the Negev, bringing air traffic to a halt, in addition to further attacks on various sites in Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat), Askalan, Isdud, and Yafa.

The Yemeni Armed Forces warned all aviation companies that airports inside the occupied Palestinian territories are unsafe and will be targeted continuously, stressing that they bear no responsibility for any consequences that may result.

The Israeli daily Maariv suggested that the drone strike launched from Yemen on September 7, which hit the arrival hall of Ramon Airport, could carry “serious symbolic and visual repercussions,” emphasizing that its effect lies less in physical damage and more in the significant moral and symbolic weight it places on aviation traffic.

The paper noted that international media might mistakenly report an attack on another Israeli airport, such as Ben Gurion, and that the strike on Ramon Airport could push foreign airlines, including those that had only just resumed flights to “Israel", to reassess their choices.
