Yemeni Hypersonic Missiles Strike 4 Strategic Israeli Military Sites, Major Escalation in Support of Palestine
Armed Forces Confirm Direct Strikes on Key Israeli Sites, Pledge Continued Military Operations Until Gaza Siege Ends
Yemen, PUREWILAYAH.COM - The Yemeni Armed Forces announced the execution of a high-precision military operation targeting a sensitive Israeli site in the occupied Be’er Sheva area using a hypersonic ballistic missile of the Palestine-2 type.
This strike represents a major escalation in Yemen’s engagement against the Israeli occupation and signals a significant leap in the country’s missile technology.
The use of the Palestine-2 hypersonic missile marks the first publicly declared deployment of such a system, enhancing Yemen's long-range precision strike capabilities and reflecting a growing technical sophistication in its military arsenal.
Simultaneous Air Force Strikes Hit Three Israeli Cities
In addition to the missile strike on Be’er Sheva, the Yemeni Air Force conducted three coordinated air operations, successfully targeting critical infrastructure in:
Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat)
Ashkelon
Hadera, located south of occupied Haifa
The Armed Forces confirmed that all operations hit their intended targets with high accuracy, further expanding the scope and reach of Yemeni support for the Palestinian resistance.
Escalation Under Consideration: Response to Starvation and Genocide in Gaza
In their official statement, the Yemeni Armed Forces declared that they are reviewing additional options for military escalation, aimed at deterring the Zionist regime’s ongoing genocide campaign and starvation blockade against the people of Gaza.
Reaffirming their position, they stated:
“We will not retreat from our firm and principled stance in supporting the Palestinian people, no matter the consequences.”
The Armed Forces emphasized that their operations would continue without pause until the aggression ceases and the siege on Gaza is completely lifted.
Military Support Rooted in Resistance Doctrine
Since the outbreak of the Israeli war on Gaza, Yemen has significantly intensified its regional military role. The Yemeni Armed Forces have positioned themselves as a core component of the Axis of Resistance, launching dozens of long-range missile and drone attacks targeting Israeli military and economic sites, especially in the southern territories of the occupation.
Key operations have focused on disrupting logistics, air traffic, and coastal activity in areas such as:
Eilat (Umm al-Rashrash)
Ashkelon
Haifa-adjacent areas
These attacks are framed by Yemeni officials as both retaliatory and deterrent, aiming to impose a counter-blockade that mirrors the humanitarian strangulation being inflicted on Gaza.
Yemen’s Hypersonic Leap: Palestine-2 Missile in Focus
The use of the Palestine-2 missile is particularly noteworthy as it represents a strategic and psychological advancement in Yemen’s military deterrence.
Hypersonic systems—capable of flying at speeds exceeding Mach 5 with maneuverability—are difficult to intercept and offer new tactical possibilities in asymmetric warfare.
Military analysts suggest that this development not only amplifies pressure on Israeli defenses but also introduces a new variable into regional deterrence dynamics.
Strategic Messaging: Pressure from the Air and Sea
The recent wave of Yemeni strikes forms part of a wider strategy to enforce aerial and naval pressure on the Israeli enemy. Through repeated attacks on infrastructure and threats to commercial and military activity, the Yemeni Armed Forces aim to:
Disrupt Israeli operations
Open humanitarian corridors into Gaza
Expose Western hypocrisy on human rights
Officials have reiterated that their campaign is defensive in nature, rooted in moral and religious responsibility to defend oppressed peoples, particularly in the face of global silence and Arab inaction.
Yemen’s Message to the World: We Stand with Gaza Until Victory
The Yemeni government and its Armed Forces concluded their announcement with a reaffirmation of unwavering solidarity with Palestine. They vowed to continue launching precision strikes until the siege is lifted, the aggression halted, and justice restored for the people of Gaza.
Their message was clear:
“Our weapons speak the language of truth and duty. We will not stand idly by while our brothers in Gaza are starved, slaughtered, and besieged.”
As Yemen strengthens its position as a rising force in regional resistance, its actions are not only reshaping military equations but also challenging the world’s conscience—one missile at a time. (PW)
