Yemeni Armed Forces have carried out a fresh missile attack against the Israeli regime, setting off sirens in the northern part of the Israeli-occupied territories.
Military spokesman Yahya Saree said they launched a hypersonic ballistic missile at the Ben Gurion airport near Tel Aviv on Wednesday in solidarity with Gazans amidst Israel’s bloody onslaught on the besieged territory.
The missile hit its target “successfully,” forcing millions of Israelis to flee to shelters and halting air traffic at the airport for nearly an hour, he added.
“The Yemeni Armed Forces' operations aim to end the aggression against our steadfast and patient people in the Gaza Strip, to end the war of extermination, and to end the ongoing massacres against them, which continue up to this moment, in full sight of the entire world,” Saree said.
“The Yemeni Armed Forces reiterate their affirmation that these operations are ongoing and will not be ceased until the aggression against Gaza stops and the blockade is lifted,” he added.
The Yemeni official further called upon “all members of the nation to stand up honorably in rejection of the genocide against their people and in rejection of starvation and blockade.”
This is the third missile attack in less than 24 hours targeting the Israeli regime’s busiest and most important airport, Ben Gurion.
The Israeli military later confirmed the missile attack, claiming that it had intercepted the rocket.
"Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in several areas in Israel, a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted," it said in a statement.
On Tuesday evening, Yemen’s missile force also struck Ben Gurion airport using a projectile of the same type.
Yemeni Armed Forces started their military operations against the Israeli regime in late 2023 shortly after the regime started taking the Gaza Strip under a genocidal war that has so far claimed the lives of more than 52,900 Palestinians, mostly women and children.
Over all, hundreds of such strikes have taken place throughout the course of the war, targeting strategic and sensitive sites across the occupied territories.
