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.

He stated that the Yemeni Armed Forces would escalate their retaliatory operations against the Zionist entity deep into the occupied Palestinian territories.

The Yemeni Armed Forces have declared that they will not halt their attacks until Israel ends its land and air offensives in Gaza.

Yemeni Armed Forces Launch Hypersonic Missile at Ben Gurion Airport, Flights Forced to Reroute
The Yemeni Armed Forces announced on Sunday that they had launched a hypersonic ballistic missile targeting the Israeli occupation's so-called 'Ben Gurion Airport.' Military spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree stated that the missile forces had conducted 'a qualitative military operation targeting Lod Airport, known in Israeli terminology as Ben Gurion Airport, in the occupied city of Jaffa.' He claimed the strike was successful, allegedly forcing 'millions of Zionist settlers into shelters' and disrupting operations at the airport. Brigadier Saree added that Yemen would continue to impose a ban on air traffic to Ben Gurion Airport, noting that 'most airlines' had complied with the restrictions in recent days, significantly impacting the airport's operations. 'The daily massacres committed against our brothers in Gaza compel the Yemeni people—with their proud nation, faithful leadership, and resisting army—to escalate military operations aimed at ending the aggression and lifting the siege on Gaza,' Saree concluded. Temporary Disruption at Ben Gurion Airport In response, the Israeli occupation army confirmed that a missile was launched from Yemen toward the occupied territories and claimed it had been intercepted. Israeli 'Home Front Command' reported that air raid sirens were activated in several occupied areas, including Jerusalem, Arad, Mevaseret Zion, Gush Etzion, and the Dead Sea region. Israeli media outlets reported that flight operations at Ben Gurion Airport were temporarily suspended following the missile launch. Flight tracking data showed at least four incoming flights circling off the occupied Palestinian coast, unable to land due to the alert.
