The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) and Ansarallah resistance movement are
planning to begin operations targeting Israel’s national airline, sources
in Sanaa told Lebanese newspaper *Al-Akhbar *
<https://www.al-akhbar.com/arab/837414/%D8%AA%D9%88%D8%AC%D9%87-%D9%8A%D9%85%D9%86%D9%8A-%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%B3%D8%AA%D9%87%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%81--%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%A7%D9%84---%D8%AA%D8%B5%D8%B9%D9%8A%D8%AF-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%AF%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%86-%D9%84%D8%A7-%D9%8A%D9%83%D8%A8%D8%AD-%D8%B5%D9%86%D8%B9%D8%A7%D8%A1>on
30 May.

This comes after the destruction of Yemenia Airways planes in Israeli
airstrikes targeting Sanaa International Airport

the last of which took place on Wednesday.

“The upcoming operations will differ in quantity and quality from previous
operations carried out deep inside the Israeli entity,” the sources said,
adding that the operations “will include Israeli civilian aircraft on the
target list.”

The last Yemenia Airways plane was destroyed by an Israeli attack on Sanaa
airport on 28 May. Israel said the plane was being used by Ansarallah and
the YAF to “transport terrorists.” However, Yemeni authorities said their
civilian aircraft are used for medical evacuations and pilgrimages

The last Israeli strikes on Yemen came as a response to continued Yemeni
missile strikes targeting Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv – on which Sanaa
has imposed a blockade, causing several major international airlines to suspend
flights

Israel.

The YAF said on Thursday night that it targeted Ben Gurion airport with a
hypersonic ballistic missile, causing millions of usurping Zionists to rush
to shelters and bringing the airport to a standstill.” The Israeli army
said it intercepted a missile launched from Yemen.

In early May, a Yemeni ballistic missile made direct impact inside the
airport, creating a large crater and injuring several people.

Following the new Israeli strikes on Sanaa Airport, Yemeni President Mahdi
al-Mashat warned

Israel of a “hot summer.”

“The government of the filthy Netanyahu is unable to protect you, and the
coming surprises are painful. To the Zionist herds: You should wait for a
hot summer. I say to all companies that continue to arrive at the Ben
Gurion Airport … that they are at risk at any moment. I call on all
travelers around the world to avoid traveling with companies that continue
to fly [there], as they are subject to our sanctions and are not safe,” he
said.
