The Israeli occupation's military command said that it identified a missile launched from Yemen early on Tuesday, and it is monitoring the situation. As a result of the attack, sirens sounded in multiple city settlements in central Israeli-occupied Palestine at around 1:00 am (local time).

Israeli authorities later said that the missile was intercepted. Nonetheless, the attack marks yet another Yemeni strike, launched in support of the Palestinian people. Sanaa has pledged continued assistance to Palestinians by taking on an active role.

The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) have successfully enabled a naval blockade on Israeli-affiliated shipments, cutting off the vital Red Sea - Arabian Sea route for the occupation.

YAF announce targeting al-Lydd Airport with a 'Palestine 2' Hypersonic Missile

The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) announced on Tuesday that its missile force had carried out a military operation targeting Lod Airport in the occupied Yafa region, using a "Palestine 2" hypersonic ballistic missile.

In the statement, YAF spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree confirmed that the operation had successfully achieved its goal, noting that it had caused "millions of herds of usurping Zionists to flee to shelters and halted airport operations."

Saree explained that this operation comes as "a victory for the oppressed Palestinian people and their mujahideen, a response to the crimes of genocide and starvation in Gaza, and a response to the Zionist herds storming Al-Aqsa Mosque."

He concluded his statement by stressing that Yemen will continue its operations until the aggression on Gaza stops and the siege is lifted.

Latest Yemeni drone attacks target multiple sites

On Sunday, the spokesperson for the YAF, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced the Yemeni Unmanned Air Force had carried out three operations targeting Israeli sites.

Saree confirmed that two of the strikes targeted military installations in Yafa (Tel Aviv) and Askalan, while the third targeted the port of Haifa in occupied Palestine.

According to Saree, the operations were launched in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their Resistance fighters, and in direct response to the ongoing genocide and starvation campaign being waged by the Israeli occupation against Gaza. The attacks also come in retaliation for repeated incursions by Israeli settlers into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound and the desecration of its sacred grounds.

"Yemen, its loyal people, faithful leadership, and resisting army, will not abandon its religious, moral, and humanitarian responsibilities toward the Palestinian people, the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and Gaza, which continues to suffer under a brutal siege and relentless aggression," Saree said.
