The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) announced in a statement
<https://t.me/thecradlemedia/32374> early on 25 March that it targeted Ben
Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv with two ballistic missiles.

“In support of the oppressed Palestinian people and their dear and valiant
resistance, the missile force targeted Ben Gurion Airport in the occupied
Jaffa area with two ballistic missiles, one of the Zulfiqar-type and the
other a hypersonic Palestine-2 missile. The operation successfully achieved
its goal,” the YAF said.

The operation was carried out on Monday evening. Sirens blared in several
areas, including Tel Aviv and occupied Jerusalem.

The Israeli army said it intercepted one missile before it crossed into
Israeli airspace. Shrapnel and missile fragments landed in Beit Shemesh
just outside of Jerusalem.

The Yemeni statement also said the YAF “targeted a number of [US] enemy
warships in the Red Sea, in addition to the US aircraft carrier Truman,
with a number of ballistic and cruise missiles and drones in a clash, the
second within 24 hours.”

“The clash lasted for several hours, during which an air attack that the
enemy was preparing to carry out against our country was thwarted,” it
added.

Hours before the statement was released, at least eight US airstrikes
targeted the vicinity of the city of Saada north of the capital, Sanaa.
Deaths and injuries were reported.

The US renewed its campaign of airstrikes on Yemen earlier this month in
response to the Yemeni decision to reimpose a ban on Israeli shipping in
the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab Strait, and the  Gulf of Aden, coming after
Israel’s obstruction of the ceasefire in Gaza and its blocking of aid to
the strip.

On 15 January, US airstrikes on Sanaa killed at least 51 and injured around
100.

US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz claimed
<https://www.euronews.com/2025/03/24/us-airstrikes-on-yemen-kill-at-least-one-person-and-injure-multiple-others>on
Sunday that US attacks on Yemen have killed key leaders of the Ansarallah
movement, which is merged with the YAF. “We've hit their headquarters.
We’ve hit communications nodes, weapons factories, and even some of their
over-the-water drone production facilities,” Waltz added.

Since Israel renewed its war on Gaza on 18 March, killing over 700 people
in a few days, the YAF has launched six ballistic missile attacks
