Yemen Confirms Hypersonic Missile Strike on Tel Aviv Airport in Support of Gaza
Yemeni Armed Forces Declare Successful Attack on Ben Gurion Airport with “Palestine-2” Missile, Vowing Continued Operations Against Israeli Aggression
Yemen, PUREWILAYAH.COM - In a significant military escalation, the Yemeni Armed Forces have officially announced that they carried out a hypersonic missile strike targeting Ben Gurion Airport in the occupied city of Tel Aviv, also known as Lod.
The attack, reportedly conducted using the newly unveiled “Palestine-2” missile, was described as a unique military operation carried out in direct response to the ongoing Israeli genocide and blockade of the Gaza Strip.
Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, delivered a formal statement confirming the details of the operation and reaffirming Yemen's unwavering commitment to the Palestinian people and their resistance.
Regional and International Context
This announcement came shortly after Israeli media outlets acknowledged that a missile had once again been launched from Yemen towards occupied territories.
The strike on such a sensitive and high-profile target underscores the growing capabilities of the Yemeni Armed Forces, particularly in the development and deployment of advanced missile systems like the hypersonic Palestine-2.
The attack has reportedly led to widespread panic across Israeli civilian populations and caused a temporary halt to air traffic operations at Ben Gurion Airport—Israel’s primary international gateway.
This development marks one of the most direct and impactful regional responses to Israeli military actions in Gaza since the outbreak of the war.
Yemen's Position on the Gaza Conflict
The Yemeni Armed Forces, aligned with the Ansarullah movement, have consistently declared their intent to militarily engage Israel in solidarity with the Palestinian resistance.
Since the intensification of Israeli attacks on Gaza, Yemen has conducted multiple missile and drone operations aimed at Israeli military and logistical targets. These operations are framed as part of a broader axis of resistance and are often justified by Yemen’s leadership as necessary acts of solidarity against genocide and occupation.
Today’s announcement further reaffirms Yemen’s strategic doctrine: that continued Israeli aggression against Gaza will be met with escalating regional retaliation. The message from Sanaa is clear—Yemen will not remain silent, and its military will act decisively in support of the Palestinian cause.
Full Statement from the Yemeni Armed Forces
Triumphing for the oppressed Palestinian people and their dear Mujahideen, and in response to the crime of genocide perpetrated by the Zionist enemy against our people in the Gaza Strip.
The missile force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a qualitative military operation targeting Lod Airport in the occupied Yaffa region using a "Palestine 2" hypersonic ballistic missile.
The operation successfully achieved its goal, thanks to Allah, causing millions of herds of usurping Zionists to flee to shelters and halting airport operations.
Yemen, with its people, leadership, and army, continues its operations in support of the oppressed and starving among our brotherly Palestinian people, in support of their steadfast resistance, and in bolstering their steadfastness as they face this siege and aggression alone, without support or assistance.
Your brothers in Yemen, your people in Yemen, your comrades in Yemen, are with you and by your side, and we will do everything in our power to fulfill our duty towards you: the duty of religion, the duty of Arabism, and the duty of humanity.
We have complete confidence in Allah's help, victory, and support.
Our operations will continue until the siege is lifted and the aggression against Gaza stops. (PW)
