Israeli Airstrikes on Gaza Leave Trail of Death and Destruction
The Israeli enemy forces have continued their war of genocide against the Gaza Strip since resuming it 64 days ago, and 592 days after the start of the aggression. This followed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's reneging on the ceasefire agreement, relying on American political and military support, amidst international silence and unprecedented abandonment by the international community and Arab states.

In support of the oppressed Palestinian people and their fighters, and in rejection of the genocide committed by the Zionist enemy against Gaza Strip, the Missile Force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a qualitative military operation targeting Lod (Ben Gurion) Airport in the occupied Jaffa (Tel Aviv) area with two ballistic missiles—one hypersonic of the type 'Palestine-2' and the other of the type 'Thulfiqar', according to a statement read by the military spokesman General Yahya Saree General Saree indicated that one of the missiles struck Lod (Ben Gurion) Airport directly, and the interception systems failed to counter it. 'By the grace of Allah, the operation achieved its objective successfully, forcing millions of occupying Zionists to flee to shelters and bringing air traffic at the airport to a halt.' The Yemeni Armed Forces affirmed that the ban on air traffic to and from the mentioned airport remains in effect, and renew their warning to the remaining companies to immediately cease all flights to and from the airport. In response to the aggression on Al-Hodeidah, the Yemeni Armed Forces warned all companies and various entities against continuing operations with the port of Haifa, which has now been included in the target bank. 'Let the criminal enemy know that Yemen—trusting in Allah, relying on Him, and dependent upon Him—is steadfast and unyielding, loyal and never neglectful, retreating, or treacherous. It is bold and unwavering, proud and humble only before Allah, like its towering, immovable mountains—unshaken by storms and undeterred by tempests. Let the criminal enemy await more and more from us in support and backing of the truthful and loyal brothers in Gaza—Gaza of pride, dignity, sacrifice, and martyrdom. We continue to support and aid them until the aggression against them stops and the siege is lifted.' Meanwhile, President of Yemen's Supreme Political Council, Mahdi Al-Mashat affirmed that the Yemeni response to the Zionist aggression will come from different directions, and the Yemeni strikes on the Zionist enemy will be calculated, effective, and dynamic—ensuring our forces retain superiority and control over the battlefield. 'For the safety of embassies near legitimate targets of our forces in occupied Jaffa, they must compel the enemy's government to relocate them at a safe distance. If the enemy's government does not comply with such requests from any embassy, we advise closure and departure so the enemy does not put them at risk.' The foreign ministries of embassies located in the Zionist entity may contact our Foreign Ministry in Sana'a to confirm whether their surroundings are free from any legitimate targets of our forces, he added. 'We will instruct our Foreign Ministry to inform any country about the status of its embassy in the Zionist entity.' The features of Yemeni missiles previously announced have not yet been used, and coordination is essential before their deployment, Al-Mashat maintained. The Israeli occupation military launched a strike on Tuesday targeting Hodeidah Port, a key coastal facility in western Yemen. This marks the first time Israeli naval forces have engaged in attacks on Yemeni ports, as reported by Israeli media, distinguishing this operation from previous strikes in the region.
