TEHRAN – Yemeni military announced a military operation on Sunday targeting Israeli regime Ben Gurion airport in solidarity with Gaza.
In a statement, Yemeni Army spokesman Brigadier Yahya Saree confirmed the strike and emphasized that Yemeni operations in support of the Palestinians in Gaza will continue until the massacre is over and the blockade is lifted.
Israeli forces confirmed the launch of missiles from Yemen to Tel Aviv, causing air raids in the central area, causing temporary closures of airspace at Ben Gurion Airport.
Sally said, “In support of the oppressed Palestinians and their dear fighters, in response to the genocide and starvation crimes committed by Zionist enemies against the brothers of the Gaza Strip, and in response to retaliation for Israel’s attacks on our country, and declared that the operation of the largest class has come.
A military spokesman said, “The Yemeni missile forces have carried out a qualitative military operation targeting LOD airport (Ben Gurion Airport) in the occupied area of Jaffa (Tel Aviv) with hypersensitivity ballistic missiles from Palestine 2.
“What’s happening in Gaza for nearly two years is clear evidence of the enemy against the blood of the Palestinian brothers, and the light emptying against the blood of Arab and Muslims. The unprecedented crime of genocide has not stopped. How long will Gaza women make this crime, this injustice and this aggression cheap?” Sally asked.
The Yemeni military has repeatedly said that solidarity with Gaza will only cease after the end of US-backed Israeli genocide.
The latest missile launch came within 24 hours when Israeli fighters bombed the Hejaz power plant in the Sanhan district, south of Yemen’s capital Sanaa.
The Israeli regime officially argued that it was responsible for the strike. A military spokesman said the attack targeted the region’s energy infrastructure. The strike that neutralised the power plant caused a fire that was later included by civil defense teams and workers. Recovery efforts began soon after, according to Mohammad Moftah, the deputy prime minister of the SANAA-based government.
During his visit to assess the damage, Mofuta ensured that the station would soon return to full operation.
Ali Hussein Alaya, director of the Hezyaz power plant, condemned repeated targeting of the facility, confirming that such actions did not thwart commitment to service to people and public institutions.
Commenting on the invasion, Hazem al-Assad, a member of the Politburo of Ansalala, stressed the ongoing attack on the regime’s public services, saying that “the bankrupt enemy is targeting only private infrastructure.”
Military experts said Yemen’s rapid retaliation was not surprising, and described the Israeli attack as a clear sign of a regime’s failure and growing despair.
