Armed forces targets Lod Airport in occupied Jaffa region with two ballistic missiles
[Tue, 10 Jun 2025 22:01:31 +0300] Sana'a - Saba: Triumphing for the oppressed Palestinian people and their mujahideen, and in rejection of the crime of genocide perpetrated by the Zionist enemy against our people in the Gaza Strip. The missile force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a qualitative military operation targeting Lod Airport in the occupied area of Yaffa using two ballistic missiles, one of which was a hypersonic Palestine 2 missile and the other "Zulfiqar" missile. One of the missiles directly hit Lod Airport, and interceptor systems failed to intercept it. By the grace of Allah, the operation successfully achieved its goal, forcing millions of occupying Zionists to flee to shelters and halting air traffic at the airport. The Yemeni Armed Forces confirm that the decision to ban air traffic to the aforementioned airport remains in effect, and reiterates its warning to the remaining airlines that they must immediately halt all flights to and from the airport. In response to the aggression on Hodeidah, the Yemeni Armed Forces warn all companies and various entities against continuing to deal with the port of Haifa, which has become a target. Let the criminal enemy know that Yemen, the homeland of those who trust in Allah, rely on Allah, is steadfast and unbowed. It is loyal and does not slacken, fail, or betray. It is bold and does not retreat, evade, or hesitate. It is lofty and bows down only to Allah, like its lofty, steadfast mountains, unshaken by bombers and unmoved by storms. Let the criminal enemy expect from us more and more support and assistance for our people of truth and loyalty in Gaza, the pride, dignity, sacrifice, and redemption. We will continue to support and stand by thier side until the aggression against them stops and the siege is lifted. Sana'a, Dhu al-Hijjah 14, 1446 AH Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
