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.
