Yemen hits Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport, ‘vital Israeli target' with ballistic missiles
Brigadier General Yahya Saree, spokesperson for Yemen's military, stated that Yemeni forces deployed a domestically-produced Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile in a retaliatory strike on Ben Gurion International Airport, located on the outskirts north of Lod read more Members of Israeli security services fill up a crater near a road outside Israel's Ben Gurion airport after a missile launched from Yemen struck the area. AFP The Yemeni Armed Forces have launched two separate operations in response to ongoing Israeli actions against Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip, as well as alleged acts of sacrilege at the al-Aqsa Mosque site in occupied East al-Quds. Brigadier General Yahya Saree, spokesperson for Yemen's military, stated on Tuesday afternoon that Yemeni forces deployed a domestically-produced Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile in a retaliatory strike on Ben Gurion International Airport, located on the outskirts north of Lod. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD They also launched a locally-manufactured Zulfiqar ballistic missile at a strategic target east of Tel Aviv. The Zulfiqar is reportedly a highly manoeuvrable, radar-evading, surface-to-surface missile with a range of approximately 2,000 kilometres (1,242 miles). Saree emphasised that the military operations were effective in achieving their objectives, including forcing millions of illegal settlers into shelters and halting aviation activity at Ben Gurion Airport. The senior Yemeni military officer condemned Israel's relentless deadly onslaught in Gaza, the devastating siege on the local population, and the ongoing policy of famine as unparalleled atrocities in human history. 'This requires that all freedom-loving people of the Yemeni nation as well as peoples of the world take action to uphold justice, defend humanity, and fulfill their duties toward the oppressed Palestinian people,' Saree added. He stated that the Yemeni Armed Forces would escalate their retaliatory operations against the Zionist entity deep into the occupied Palestinian territories. Saree emphasised that Yemeni troops would not cease their retaliatory actions in solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip until the ongoing assault ends and the tight blockade is completely lifted. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD As the conflict in Gaza continues, the Yemenis have imposed a strategic blockade on vital maritime routes, blocking the transfer of military supplies to Israel and urging the international community to address the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The Yemeni Armed Forces have declared that they will not halt their attacks until Israel ends its land and air offensives in Gaza.

Yemen's Houthis target Ben Gurion with Palestine-2 missile
Shafaq News/ Yemen's Houthis (Ansarallah) claimed responsibility on Tuesday for launching a 'double military operation' targeting Israel, including a hypersonic ballistic missile strike on Ben Gurion International Airport. In an official statement, Ansarallah said they fired a 'Palestine-2' hypersonic missile at the airport and a separate 'Zolfiqar' ballistic missile at a strategic Israeli facility east of Yafa. بيان القوات المسلحة اليمنية بشأن تنفيذ عملية عسكرية مزدوجة استهدفت مطار اللد المسمى إسرائيليا مطار بن غوريون بصاروخ باليستي فرط صوتي نوع فلسطين٢، وهدفا حيويا للعدو الصهيوني شرقي منطقة يافا المحتلة وذلك بصاروخ باليستي نوع "ذوالفقار". — العميد يحيى سريع (@army21yemen) May 27, 2025 Earlier in the day, the Israeli military confirmed that it had intercepted a ballistic missile launched from Yemen—the second such interception in less than 24 hours. Both projectiles were downed without triggering air raid sirens, and no casualties or damage were reported. #عاجل اعترض سلاح الجو قبل قليل صاروخًا أطلق من اليمن. لم يتم تفعيل انذارات.كما اعترض سلاح الجو الليلة الماضية صاروخ آخر أطلق من اليمن. — افيخاي ادرعي (@AvichayAdraee) May 27, 2025 The Houthis had previously claimed responsibility for multiple attacks targeting Israeli territory, including two strikes on Ben Gurion earlier this week, which led to temporary flight disruptions, according to Israeli media. Israeli Haaretz criticized the government's approach. 'No country has succeeded in subduing the Yemenis—why should Israel be any different?' the newspaper wrote, warning that targeted assassinations and airstrikes would likely fail to deter a group deeply rooted in ideological belief.

Houthis target Israel's Ben Gurion with ballistic missiles
Shafaq News/ On Sunday, Yemen's Houthis (Ansarallah) launched two ballistic missiles at Israel's Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv, following an earlier drone strike on the same location. The group's military spokesperson, Yahya Saree, said the missile attack involved a hypersonic 'Palestine-2' missile and a 'Zulfiqar' ballistic missile, describing it as a "qualitative operation" against what they referred to as "Lod Airport in occupied Yaffa." The operation, he claimed, caused air traffic disruption and sent 'millions of Zionist settlers [Israelis]' into shelters. #معركة_الفتح_الموعود_والجهاد_المقدس — أمين حيان Ameen Hayyan (@AminHian) May 18, 2025 Israeli authorities have not yet confirmed the impact of the reported strike. Earlier today, the Houthis said they targeted the airport using a 'Yaffa'-type drone. The Houthi statement described the attacks as part of the group's continued response to Israel's 'genocidal' campaign in Gaza. The group reiterated its call for broader action from the Muslim world, accusing regional and international actors of failing to stop the 'humanitarian catastrophe' in the Palestinian enclave. The announcement came days after Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz threatened to assassinate senior Houthi leaders, including Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, in retaliation for the group's escalating attacks on Israel and Red Sea shipping lanes. Katz warned that Israel would pursue Houthi leadership in Yemen similarly to how it has targeted Hamas and Hezbollah commanders. צה"ל תקף כעת ופגע קשות בנמלים בתימן הנמצאים בשליטת ארגון הטרור החות׳י.גם שדה התעופה בצנעא עדיין הרוס.כמו שאמרנו: אם החות׳ים ימשיכו לירות טילים לעבר מדינת ישראל הם יספגו מכות כואבות - ונפגע גם בראשי הטרור כמו שעשינו לדף והסינווארים בעזה, לנסראללה בביירות ולהנייה בטהרן, נצוד… — ישראל כ'ץ Israel Katz (@Israel_katz) May 16, 2025 Ansarallah have maintained a campaign of missile and drone attacks against Israel, which the group claims are in response to Israel's ongoing war in Gaza that led to more than 173,000 Palestinian casualties, most of them women and children, with over 11,000 still missing.

Yemeni missile, drone strikes hit Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv
SANAA, May 18 (YPA) – The Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a precision strike on Ben Gurion Airport, near Tel Aviv, using a Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile, a Zulfiqar ballistic missile, and a Yafa drone. The Yemeni Armed Forces issued the following statement: 'In support of the oppressed Palestinian people and their resistance fighters, and in rejection of the genocide being perpetrated by the Zionist enemy against our brothers in the Gaza Strip: The missile force of the Yemeni Armed Forces has carried out a special military operation targeting Lod Airport—known in the 'Israeli' naming as 'Ben Gurion Airport', located in the occupied area of Yafa, using two ballistic missiles: one of them a hypersonic missile of the 'Palestine-2″ type, and with a ballistic missile of the 'Zulfiqar' type. By the grace of Allah, the operation successfully achieved its objective, causing millions of Zionist occupiers to flee into shelters and halting air traffic at the airport for nearly an hour. Earlier in the morning of the previous day, the drone force of the Yemeni Armed Forces conducted a military operation targeting Lod Airport using a drone of the 'Yafa' type. The Yemeni Armed Forces renew their call to the sons of the [Islamic] nation: Has a nation of two billion Muslims truly become incapable of saving two million of its own from genocide and starvation? This overwhelming failure and helplessness will only encourage the enemy to persist in its aggression against all peoples and nations. But Yemen—proud with its free people, faithful leadership, and resisting army—will, with the help of Allah and reliance upon Him, continue to act, support, and move forward until the aggression against Gaza is stopped and the siege lifted.'
