<p>The Yemeni Armed Forces successfully carried out a precision <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/yemen-strikes-ben-gurion-airport-with-ballistic-missile-for?utm_source=mango-searchx&utm_medium=title_and_relatives&utm_campaign=%23Yemen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">military operation targeting Ben Gurion Airport</a>,
otherwise known as the Lydd Airport, with a Zulfiqar ballistic missile,
according to a statement by the YAF's spokesperson, Brigadier General
Yahya Saree, on Thursday.</p>
<p>Saree stated that "the operation successfully achieved its objective,
triggering alarm sirens in over 300 towns and cities," not to mention "<a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/yemen-launches-missile-toward--israel---sirens-sounded-in-al?utm_source=mango-searchx&utm_medium=title_and_relatives&utm_campaign=%23Yemen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">forcing millions of Zionists into</a> shelters and halting all air traffic at the airport."</p>
<p>He added, "We are working to <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/mass-rallies-in-yemen-in-support-of-palestine-continue-undet?utm_source=mango-searchx&utm_medium=title_and_relatives&utm_campaign=%23Yemen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expand our supporting military operations</a> and maintain the naval blockade until the aggression against the Gaza Strip ceases."</p>
<h2>Yemeni missile crippled air traffic over 'Israel'</h2>
<p>Early Thursday morning, air raid sirens sounded in occupied al-Quds and Tel Aviv <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/yemen-ready-to-strike--israel--around-the-clock--says-defens?utm_source=mango-searchx&utm_medium=title_and_relatives&utm_campaign=%23Yemen">following a missile launch from Yemen</a>, while air traffic at Ben Gurion Airport was also brought to a halt.</p>
<p>On its part, Israeli newspaper <em>Yedioth Ahronoth</em> reported that millions rushed to shelters <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/yemen-announces-ballistic-missile-launch-toward-occupied-pal?utm_source=mango-searchx&utm_medium=title_and_relatives&utm_campaign=%23Yemen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">after a missile launch from Yemen</a> was detected.</p>
<p>The Yemeni Armed Forces continue their military operations in support of Gaza amid the ongoing genocide war, <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-israel--and-the-yemen-dilemma--a-perpetual-war-with-no-exit?utm_source=mango-searchx&utm_medium=title_and_relatives&utm_campaign=%23Yemen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">targeting the heart of the occupation entity</a> with ballistic missiles while also intercepting vessels violating the ban on reaching ports in occupied Palestine.</p>
<h2>Yemeni Navy sinks ETERNITY C ship</h2>
<p>As part of their naval blockade on "Israel" until it stops its war on Gaza, the Yemeni Armed Forces <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/yemen-navy-sinks-eternity-c-ship--shares-footage-of-operatio?utm_source=mango-searchx&utm_medium=title_and_relatives&utm_campaign=%23Yemen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sank the ETERNITY C ship</a>, which was bound to the occupied Palestinian territories' Umm al-Rashrash port. The YAF published footage of the sinking.</p>
<p>The video, released by Yemen\u2019s official military media, documented
multiple attempts by the Yemeni Naval Forces to contact the crew of the
ETERNITY C using the ship\u2019s call sign D5DC2, with naval operators
informing the vessel\u2019s captain that rescue boats were en route and that a
third ship, the BARYON, was also available to provide evacuation
assistance.</p>
<p>Yemeni authorities stressed that the communication aimed to reassure
the crew that their safety was guaranteed and that they wouldn't face
harm if they complied.</p>
<p>This is the second ship the Yemeni Armed Forces have sunk within days, after previously <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/vessel-attacked-by-small-boats-off-yemen-s-hodeidah--ukmto-r?utm_source=mango-searchx&utm_medium=title_and_relatives&utm_campaign=%23Yemen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">targeting the Magic Seas</a>
in the Red Sea with two drone boats, five ballistic and cruise
missiles, and three drones in an attack that directly hit the vessel and
left it completely submerged.</p></div></div></div>
