The Yemeni army carried out a fresh retaliatory operation against Israel in response to the regime’s genocidal war in the besieged Gaza Strip.
The Yemeni Armed Forces said in a statement on Monday night that they carried out a military operation targeting Ben Gurion Airport in the occupied area of Yaffa using a "Zulfiqar" ballistic missile.
“The operation successfully achieved its goal, thanks to Allah, forcing four million Zionists to flee to shelters and halting air traffic at the airport,” it added.
The Yemeni Armed Forces said they are closely monitoring the developments in Gaza, standing in reverence and respect for the sacrifices of its steadfast people.
“They extend their Arab and Islamic jihadist military salute to the Al-Qassam Brigades and the Al-Quds Brigades, and to all the heroic mujahideen in all factions who defend the nation when everyone else has abandoned them,” the forces said.
The statement added that the Yemeni armed forces will continue their anti-regime operations until the aggression against Gaza stops, and its siege is lifted.
The Yemeni army carries out almost daily operations against Israel, striking targets deep inside the occupied Palestinian territories.
Hours before, the Israeli military said a ballistic missile from Yemen had triggered sirens across the Israeli-occupied territories.
The army announced in a statement that air raid sirens were activated in the central part, the al-Quds area, several illegal West Bank settlements, as well as some areas in the southern sector of the occupied lands on Monday evening.
The military claimed that its anti-air missile systems “intercepted” the projectile.
As the genocidal war on Gaza escalated, the Yemenis enforced a strategic blockade on essential maritime routes, intending to obstruct the delivery of military supplies to Israel and urge the international community to take action regarding the ongoing humanitarian emergency in Gaza.
The Yemeni Armed Forces have declared they will not stop their assaults unless Israel ceases its ground and aerial offensives in Gaza.
