Yemen Launches Hypersonic Ballistic Missile Targeting Tel Aviv Airport: A New Era of Warfare
In a significant development, Yemen’s Armed Forces have announced a bold operation targeting Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv using a hypersonic ballistic missile. This military action is part of Yemen’s commitment to support Gaza and oppose what they describe as the ongoing Israeli genocide.
Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, confirmed that the operation was a precision strike aimed directly at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport. The ramifications of this strike were profound, as it led to a complete halt of air traffic at the vital airport.
According to Saree, the missile strike was effective in disrupting air traffic and caused panic among millions of settlers, many of whom were forced to seek shelter. He characterized this attack as a demonstration of solidarity with the Palestinian people and their resistance fighters, firmly rejecting the “genocide being committed by the Zionist enemy in Gaza.”
In addition, Saree indicated that this missile strike is an integral part of a broader aerial blockade that the Yemeni Armed Forces are enforcing against the Israeli regime. Notably, many international airlines have complied with this ban, leading to significant operational disruptions at the airport.
- The Yemeni Armed Forces emphasized that the ongoing massacres in Gaza are prompting Yemen’s leadership, military, and people to escalate military operations.
- They affirmed that their efforts aim to end the Israeli genocide and lift the blockade on the Gaza Strip.
Earlier reports from Israeli media corroborated the launch of a missile from Yemen, noting that sirens were heard in western Jerusalem (Al-Quds) and nearby areas. Additionally, the Israeli Kan channel reported that takeoffs and landings at Ben Gurion Airport were suspended in the wake of the missile strike.
Flight tracking data during the attack revealed that four incoming flights were forced to circle above the coastline, awaiting clearance to land. This incident is just one in a series of missile attacks executed by the Yemeni Armed Forces as part of their air blockade against Israel.
These repeated missile strikes on Ben Gurion Airport have led to frequent paralysis of air traffic in recent weeks, prompting several international airlines to suspend flights to the Israeli airport.
Sana’a has consistently declared its intention to continue military operations against Israeli targets to support the Palestinian resistance in Gaza. The Yemeni authorities assert that these attacks will persist until the genocide is brought to an end, and the blockade on Gaza is lifted.
The ongoing conflict has raised significant concerns about regional stability, as Yemen’s military actions reflect deep-rooted tensions in the Middle East. The Yemeni Armed Forces’ commitment to supporting the Palestinian cause has resulted in an escalation of hostilities, highlighting the urgency for international dialogue and resolution.
In conclusion, Yemen’s missile operation against Ben Gurion Airport underlines the escalating military tensions in the region and the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza. As the conflict continues, the international community watches closely, urging for a peaceful resolution to the ongoing violence.
