Yemen Targets Israel's Ben Gurion Airport with Hypersonic Missile
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Yemen’s armed forces announced on Friday the launch of a hypersonic ballistic missile at Israel's Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv, in what they termed as a “unique military operation” in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
The spokesperson for Yemen’s armed forces Yahya Saree, announced that the missile struck its intended target, causing panic among Israeli settlers and disrupting airport operations.
"The missile hit the airport with precision, prompting millions of occupying Zionists to flee to shelters," Saree said in a televised statement.
He added that all flight activity at the airport was halted following the strike.
The spokesperson stressed that the attack was a response to “Zionist crimes” in Gaza and a show of support for the Palestinian resistance.
"Our operations will intensify, God willing, and they will not stop until the aggression against Gaza ends and the blockade is lifted," Saree warned.
He also condemned the broader silence in the Islamic world, stating that failure to act against the daily massacres in Gaza would bring “disgrace and vulnerability” to the Muslim community unless it fulfills its religious, moral, and humanitarian responsibilities toward the Palestinian people.
Early Friday, Yemen's armed forces launched a missile strike on Tel Aviv, setting off air raid sirens across much of central and southern Israeli-occupied territory. The missile, reportedly fired at dawn, triggered alerts from Tel Aviv to southern areas.
The Yemeni military has vowed to continue its strikes as long as Israel maintains its siege and military operations in Gaza.
These attacks are part of Yemen’s declared campaign of solidarity with the people of Gaza, who remain under heavy Israeli bombardment.
Yemen’s continued military actions come amid mounting global condemnation of Israeli criminal conducts in Palestine, where the conflict has entered its 21st month.
Israel genocidal war on Gaza has killed at least 53,762 Palestinians and wounded 122,197, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. The Government Media Office updated the death toll to more than 61,700, saying thousands of people missing under the rubble are presumed dead.
