<p>The Rocket Force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a top-tier
military operation targeting Lydd Airport, also known as Ben Gurion
Airport in "Israel", in the occupied area of Yafa (Tel Aviv) with a
hypersonic ballistic missile, spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree
announced on Sunday.</p>
<p>Saree confirmed that the operation successfully achieved its
objective, forcing millions of Israeli settlers into shelters and
halting operations at the airport.</p>
<h2>Three YAF operations against vital Israeli sites</h2>
<p>Additionally, the YAF's UAV Unit carried out three military
operations targeting three vital Israeli sites in the areas of Yafa,
Isdud, and Umm al-Rashrash in occupied Palestine using three drones, the
spokesperson affirmed.</p>
<p>He said the operations were in support of the oppressed Palestinian
people and their Resistance fighters and in rejection of the genocide
being committed by "Israel" in the Gaza Strip.</p>
<h2>YAF seek to impose full ban on Ben Gurion Airport</h2>
<p>Saree indicated that following the successful imposition of a partial
ban on air traffic at Lydd Airport, the Yemeni Armed Forces are working
to impose a full ban on air traffic at the aforementioned airport in
the coming period.</p>
<p>The remaining airlines that have not yet complied with the ban are
urged to take this warning into account for the safety of their aircraft
and passengers, he added.</p>
<p>The spokesperson reiterated that the YAF's operations will not cease
until the Israeli aggression against Gaza is halted and the siege
imposed on the Palestinian enclave is lifted.</p>

<h2>Yemeni missile closes airspace at Ben Gurion Airport</h2>
<p>Earlier on Sunday, Israeli media reported that airspace at Ben Gurion
Airport was closed and flights to and from the airport were halted,
coinciding with the sounding of air raid sirens in Tel Aviv and areas
west of occupied al-Quds, following the detection of a ballistic missile
launched from Yemen.</p>
<p>The media reported that the Yemeni missile forced millions of Israelis into shelters.</p>
<p>Military operations carried out by the Yemeni Armed Forces continue
as part of the air blockade imposed on the Israeli entity, through
repeated missile strikes targeting Ben Gurion Airport in recent weeks.</p>
<p>These attacks have caused repeated air disruptions, paralyzed air
traffic, and prompted a number of international airlines to suspend
flights to the occupied territories.</p>
<h2>'Leave immediately': Yemeni MoD warns foreign investors in 'Israel'</h2>
<p>Just yesterday, a source in Yemen\u2019s Ministry of Defense issued a
stark warning to foreign investors and companies operating within the
Israeli entity, advising them to "leave immediately" as the security in
the region continues to deteriorate.</p>
<p>"Foreign investors and companies operating in the Zionist entity should <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-leave-immediately---yemeni-mod-warns-foreign-investors-in">leave immediately</a>, as the environment will not be safe," the source told <em>SABA </em>news agency, adding, "It is best to do so while the opportunity remains."</p>
<p>The source highlighted the capabilities of Yemen\u2019s missile arsenal,
stating that its warheads are engineered to fragment upon interception,
allowing them to strike a wider array of targets.</p>
<h2>Sanaa's al-Mashat warns bunkers no longer safe for Israeli settlers</h2>
<p>On May 28, the head of Yemen's Supreme Political Council, Mahdi
al-Mashat, affirmed that Yemeni missiles will reach their intended
targets, warning that the <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/sanaa-s-al-mashat-warns-bunkers-no-longer-safe-for-israeli-s">surprises awaiting "Israel" will be harmful</a>. </p>
<p>Addressing Israeli settlers as he toured Sanaa International Airport to inspect the damage caused by the <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-israel--bombs-yemen-s-sanaa-airport--other-civilian-infrast">Israeli aggression on the civilian facility</a>, al-Mashat said the government of Netanyahu "will not be able to protect you.\u201d</p>
<p>He warned that "Yemeni missiles are capable of reaching their targets, and bunkers will no longer be safe.\u201d</p>
<p>Earlier, the leader of the Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik
al-Houthi, affirmed that the Yemeni operations will only intensify in
the coming period to further pressure "Israel".</p>
<p>"<a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/resistance-ops-to-escalate-as--israel--deepens-gaza-genocide">We aim to escalate our actions</a> to support the Palestinian people. Our next steps will be more effective and impactful," he vowed.</p>
