The Yemeni Armed Forces have claimed responsibility for launching a new “hypersonic ballistic missile” attack against sensitive targets deep inside the Israeli-occupied territories in support of the besieged Palestinian people in Gaza.

Yemeni military spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree said in a televised statement aired by al-Masirah TV on Sunday that Yemeni forces struck sensitive targets in the occupied city of al-Quds with a multi-warhead Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile.

He noted that the operation could successfully achieve its desired objectives.

The missile attack reportedly caused widespread panic among illegal settlers, pushing thousands of them to seek refuge in bomb shelters.

“The Yemeni Armed Forces are monitoring the status quo in Gaza in light of recent developments. They reiterate that — with Allah's help and in coordination with the Resistance Front — are keeping a watchful eye on the situation, particularly those related to halting the Zionist aggression and lifting the siege on the Gaza Strip,” Saree said.

The Yemeni military spokesperson vowed that his nation would continue to launch missile attacks against Israel until “the war and blockade on Gaza end.”

In light of the worsening genocidal war in Gaza that started in October 2023, Yemeni forces executed a strategic maritime blockade intended to obstruct the delivery of military resources to Israeli-occupied territories while urging the global community to address the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Concurrently, they conducted multiple missile and drone attacks on key targets located in the Israeli-occupied regions, demonstrating their support for the Palestinians in Gaza.

The Yemeni Armed Forces have stated unequivocally that they will continue their operations until Israel puts an end to its ground and aerial assaults in Gaza.

Israel has killed more than 67,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, in the besieged Gaza Strip since October 2023, according to the health ministry of Gaza.
