General Saree Announces Missile Strikes on Ben Gurion Airport, Enemy Targets in Tel Aviv, Ashdod and Eilat
The missile force of Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a specific military operation targeting Lod Airport in the occupied area of Jaffa (Tel Aviv) using a hypersonic ballistic missile, according to a statement read by the military spokesman General Yahya Saree. The operation comes in the context of supporting the oppressed Palestinian people and their Mujahideen, and in rejection of the crime of genocide perpetrated by the Zionist enemy against the people in the Gaza Strip, General Saree said. The operation has successfully achieved its objective, causing millions of herds of usurping Zionists to flee to shelters and halting airport operations, General Saree added. The UAV force of Yemeni Armed Forces carried out three military operations targeting three vital Israeli enemy targets in the areas of Yaffa, Ashdod, and Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat) in the occupied Palestine using three drones, he noted. The Yemeni Armed Forces, after successfully imposing a partial ban on air traffic at Lod Airport, are working, with Allah's help, to impose a complete ban on air traffic at the aforementioned airport during the coming period, Saree warned. General Saree warned the remaining airlines that have not yet complied with the ban to take this into consideration to preserve the safety of their aircraft and customers. 'Our operations, with trust in Allah and reliance on Allah, will not cease until the aggression against our steadfast people in the Gaza Strip stops and the siege on them is lifted.' Israeli media outlets had reported on Sunday that sirens sounded heavily in occupied Al-Quds and Tel Aviv after a ballistic missile fire from Yemen, pushing millions of settlers into the basements.

Millions of Israelis in Occupied Al-Quds and Tel Aviv Flock into Basements after Missile Fire from Yemen
Israeli media outlets reported on Sunday that sirens sounded heavily in occupied Al-Quds and Tel Aviv after a ballistic missile fire from Yemen, pushing millions of settlers into the basements. The Zionist defenses fire interceptor missiles, and the cops started a large-scale search operation in the area which witnessed the sirens sounding, knowing that the enemy army claimed it had managed to intercept the Yemeni ballistic missile. Yedioth Ahronoth mentioned that a number of flights, including those arriving from Boston and London, delayed their landings as the Ben Gurion airspace was closed temporarily after the missile fire. The Zionist media indicated that 43 ballistic missiles have been fired from Yemen since the resumption of the genocidal war on Gaza. The Yemeni Armed Forces said in a statement Thursday evening that 'the Yemeni missile force carried out a military operation targeting Lod Airport, known in 'Israel' as Ben Gurion Airport, in the occupied Jaffa region.'
