Yemeni Armed Forces staged late on Thursday a new attack targeting Israeli Ben Gurion Airport with a hypersonic ballistic missile in support of Palestine and in response to the occupation regime’s genocidal war in the besieged Gaza Strip.

In a statement, Yemeni Armed Forces Spokesman Brigadier Yahya Saree announced that Lod airport in occupied Jaffa was targeted with a “Palestine-2” hypersonic ballistic missile, referring to the original name of the occupied Palestinian area.

“The operation successfully achieved its goal, thanks to Allah, forcing millions of Zionists to flee to shelters and halting air traffic at the airport,” he added.

The spokesman reiterated that the Yemeni armed forces will continue their operations against the Zionist entity until the aggression against Gaza stops, and its siege is lifted.

Sirens wailed in central occupied territories due to the missile launch, Israeli media reported.

For its part, the Israeli occupation army claimed to have intercepted the Yemeni missile.

“Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in several areas in Israel, a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted,” the army said in a statement.

The video below, circulated on social media showed sirens sounding in the occupied territories due to the Yemeni missile launch.

Yemen’s revolutionaries have repeatedly launched missiles and drones at the Zionist entity since the Israeli war on Gaza began in October 2023.

The occupation army has now reported similar launches on at least five of the past seven days.
