The Yemeni Armed Forces announced that they targeted the Israeli Nevatim Air Base in the occupied al-Naqab with a Palestine 2 hypersonic ballistic missile, confirming that the strike successfully hit its target.
In a statement, Yemeni Armed Forces spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree warned that Yemen will expand its range of targets within occupied Palestine in the coming hours and days unless the Israeli regime halts its aggression against Gaza.
“Yemen—its leadership, people, and army—will not stand idly by as it witnesses these massacres against our brothers in Gaza,” Saree declared. “We will dedicate all our capabilities and resources to the defense and support of the oppressed in Palestine until these crimes stop.”
He further reiterated Yemen’s commitment to confronting the United States and blocking Israeli navigation until the aggression ceases, the siege is lifted, and humanitarian aid is allowed into Gaza.
Yemeni Armed Forces launched a ballistic missile toward the occupied Palestinian territories on Tuesday evening, setting off rocket sirens across the northern al-Naqab, beginning at 6:56 p.m.
The Israeli occupation forces claimed they had intercepted the missile before it entered Israeli airspace.
Sirens were activated in Beer al-Sabe, Merhav Am, Nevatim, and Ravivim, among other locations.
The Israeli emergency response service, Magen David Adom, reported receiving calls regarding individuals experiencing anxiety, though no injuries were recorded.
Shortly after the attack, Hezam al-Assad, a senior Ansar Allah official, posted in Hebrew on X: "The Yemeni people will not leave Gaza alone!" He added, "The Zionists will pay for their crimes against children, women, and civilians."
After a fragile ceasefire that lasted roughly two months,"Israel" has resumed its aggression on Gazawith intense airstrikes, resulting in an initial toll of 404 martyrs, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
In a statement, Hamas said, "The claims made by the [Israeli] occupation regarding preparations by the Resistance to launch an attack on its forces are baseless and are merely false pretexts to justify its return to war and escalate its bloody aggression."
The Palestinian group accused "Israel" of "attempting to mislead public opinion and fabricate false justifications to cover up its premeditated decision to resume its genocidal campaign against defenseless civilians, disregarding any commitments it made."
"Hamas adhered to the agreement until the very last moment and was committed to its continuation," the statement stressed, adding that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, "seeking a way out of his internal crises, preferred to reignite the war at the cost of our people's blood."
