The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) fired a hypersonic ballistic missile at Ben Gurion airport in the occupied Palestinian territories, targeting the area of Terminal 3, according to an announcement by the YAF's spokesperson, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, on Sunday.

Saree revealed that the US and Israeli interception systems failed to intercept the missile and forced more than three million settlers to flee. 

Additionally, air traffic at Ben Gurion Airport was suspended minutes after resuming, along with a halt to train services in the area.

The flight cancellation wave expanded, with Switzerland and Austria set to cancel flights to "Israel" and the Spanish airline Air Europa officially cancelling flights. 

YAF fire missile at Ben Gurion

Israeli media reported on Sunday that a missile fired from Yemen struck the area of Terminal 3 at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, causing plumes of smoke to rise and leading to the suspension of both flight and train operations in the vicinity. According to the Magen David Adom emergency service, several individuals were injured in the incident.

Following the missile launch from Yemen, air raid sirens sounded across the central region of the occupied territories. Notably, Israeli media sources confirmed that interceptor missiles failed to intercept the projectile.

Channel 12 reported that the security establishment believes both the Arrow 3 and THAAD missile defense systems failed to stop the missile. The failure has sparked concerns within the Israeli occupation about the security of Ben Gurion Airport, as fears mount that airlines may reconsider flights to the area.

In response, Israeli police urged the public to avoid the airport, and one Israeli outlet described the incident as "the most dangerous operation since the beginning of the war," calling for a strong response.

The Israeli newspaper Maariv labeled the missile strike on Ben Gurion Airport "dramatic on a global scale." Meanwhile, the official Sanaa-based newspaper al-Thawra cited a source in the Yemeni Ministry of Defense stating that "the military units accompanying the US aircraft carrier Truman have arrived at the Suez Canal on their way out of the Red Sea."

The source added that this marks the failure of the US mission to halt Yemeni operations in support of the Palestinian people, asserting that Truman’s departure symbolizes the collapse of US-UK aggression objectives.

Yemen's escalation in support of Gaza

The missile strike on Ben Gurion Airport represents a major shift in the confrontation between Yemen and the Israeli occupation.

It also highlights the ongoing campaign of Yemeni solidarity with Gaza amid continued Israeli aggression and the targeting of vessels linked to "Israel" in the Red and Arabian Seas.

As the war expands on multiple fronts, the missile from Yemen that hit Ben Gurion Airport marks both a strategic and symbolic escalation, drawing international attention and underscoring the regional impact of the war.
