Yemen Launches Retaliatory Strike on Critical Israeli Infrastructure
Yemen will never be intimidated. Every attack on our land will only strengthen our will to resist alongside Gaza and confront the Zionist enemy’s crimes,” the statement declared.
Yemen, PUREWILAYAH.COM – Brigadier General Yahya Saree, spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, announced on Monday that in response to Israeli aggression and as part of its unwavering commitment to the oppressed Palestinian people—especially in the Gaza Strip—the Yemeni Armed Forces have launched a large-scale joint military operation, deploying a total of eleven ballistic missiles and combat drones to strike critical infrastructure deep inside Israeli-occupied territories.
The announcement came alongside Yemen’s confirmation that its air defenses had successfully thwarted an Israeli airstrike targeting several Yemeni cities. Israeli warplanes, the statement said, were forced to retreat from Yemeni airspace before launching any attacks—thanks to domestically produced surface-to-air missile systems.
Details of the Precision Yemeni Strikes
Yemen’s retaliatory operation targeted the following strategic sites within the Zionist entity:
Lod Airport (Ben Gurion International) – struck with a "Falestin-2" hypersonic ballistic missile
Ashdod Port – hit by a hypersonic ballistic missile
Ashkelon Power Station – targeted with a hypersonic ballistic missile
Umm al-Rashrash Port (Eilat) – struck by eight precision combat drones
The Yemeni Armed Forces confirmed that all missiles and drones reached their targets successfully, and Israeli defense systems failed to intercept the incoming attacks.
A Clear Message to the Enemy
In its statement, the Yemeni military asserted that Yemen, with its faith in God and the steadfastness of its people and resistance forces, will never bow to anyone but Allah.
The military warned that any aggression against Yemen will come at a heavy cost, only reinforcing Yemen’s resolve to stand by the people of Gaza and confront the Zionist regime’s atrocities.
Such attacks will only strengthen the determination and steadfastness of the Yemeni people and fuel more retaliatory and supportive operations in defense of the oppressed Palestinian people.
Prepared for Long-Term Confrontation
The Armed Forces also affirmed their full readiness for sustained confrontation, both in the air and on the ground. Yemen reiterated that its naval blockade against Israel—enforced in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea—will not only continue but be strengthened as a direct act of solidarity with the besieged people of Gaza.
A Sacred Mission of Faith, Morality, and Humanity
The statement concluded by emphasizing that these military operations are part of Yemen’s religious, moral, and humanitarian duty to defend the oppressed Palestinian people in Gaza.
These operations will persist until the aggression is halted and the blockade on Gaza is lifted entirely.
