Yemen’s armed forces announced today, Sunday, that they targeted Israel’s
Ben Gurion airport with a hypersonic ballistic missile in response to the
ongoing Israeli war crimes in Gaza.

“The missile force carried out a special military operation targeting Lod
Airport, referred to as Israel’s Ben Gurion airport, in the occupied Jaffa
area, using a hypersonic ballistic missile,” military spokesman Yehya
Sariee said in a statement aired by Al-Masirah satellite channel.

“The operation successfully achieved its goal, thanks to Allah, forcing
millions of Zionists to rush to shelters and bringing airport activity to a
halt,” spokesman Sariee added.

The spokesman affirmed that Yemen’s armed forces would continue to impose
an aerial navigation ban at Lod Airport, noting that most airlines had
complied with this ban over the past few days, which significantly impacted
operations at the Israeli airport.

“The daily massacres carried out by the occupation forces against the
people of Gaza prompt Yemen … to redouble the efforts and escalate military
operations in order to curb the aggression against Gaza and break the
blockade,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Hebrew media claimed that Israel’s air defenses intercepted
a ballistic missile fired from Yemen today.

According to the Times of Israel website, sirens sounded in the Jerusalem
area, southern West Bank settlements, and communities near the Dead Sea.
Preceding the sirens by about five minutes, an early warning was issued to
residents, alerting civilians of the long-range missile strike via a push
notification on their phones.

The website said there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage,
adding that a chunk of the missile landed in the South Hebron Hills area of
the West Bank.

It was the third Yemeni missile counterattack on Israel in four days, and
the fifth since last Sunday.
