Yemen\'s missile attack on Ben Gurion airport
Pars Today - Yemen's armed forces targeted the Zionist regime's Ben Gurion airport with a ballistic missile. According to Pars Today, Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced in a statement early Saturday that Yemen's armed forces, as part of their support for the oppressed Palestinian people and the Palestinian resistance, struck Ben Gurion airport in the occupied Jaffa region with a Palestine-2 missile.
This operation, marking the third missile attack on Ben Gurion Airport in the past 48 hours, was successfully carried out.
Yahya Saree warned all airlines that Ben Gurion airport is no longer safe for transportation and that this situation will persist. The spokesperson for Yemen's armed forces also stated that Yemen's air force conducted another operation using attack drones targeting several warships belonging to the American aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman.
Yemen's armed forces drone unit, in response to U.S. aggression against Yemen, targeted the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier with multiple drones for the sixth consecutive day.
Following the Zionist regime's renewed aggression against Gaza on Tuesday this week, Yemen's armed forces resumed their attacks on Occupied Territories in support of Palestine and in retaliation for U.S. aggression against Yemen.
Sounds of multiple explosions heard in occupied Palestinian territories following Yemen's missile attack
According to Zionist sources, after Yemen's missile attack, air raid sirens sounded across central occupied Palestine, al-Quds, and Zionist settlements in the West Bank along the Jordan River. Operations at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion airport have been halted, and thousands of Zionist settlers have fled to shelters.
The Zionist regime's so-called Home Front Command announced that searches have begun to locate the missile impact site. Zionist regime radio also admitted that the army's defense systems were activated to potentially intercept the launched missiles.
Meanwhile, the U.S. and Britain, in support of the Zionist regime, have been conducting airstrikes against Yemen since March 15, 2025, targeting residential areas and civilian infrastructure in the country.
American fighter jets bombed the Saqin area in the west of Saada province, though no reports of damages or casualties from this aggression have been released. On Thursday evening, U.S. fighter jets also bombed Yemen's western Hodeidah province.
American general acknowledges Yemen's military capability
In this context, Joseph Votel, a four-star American general, admitted to the U.S. military's inability to counter Yemen's forces, stating, "The Yemenis have significant resources, and merely targeting their military capabilities is not enough."
The American general added, "The Yemenis gained considerable expertise during their war with Saudi Arabia and learned how to preserve their resources and assets."
