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.

Houthis launch dual attacks on Israel: Ben Gurion Airport among targets
Shafaq News/ Yemen's Houthis (Ansarallah) launched two attacks on Israel, including a ballistic missile strike on Ben Gurion Airport, the group announced on Thursday. In a statement, Yahya Saree, the group's military spokesperson, said a Zulfiqar missile 'successfully' hit Israel's main airport near Yaffa, forcing mass evacuations and disrupting air traffic for nearly an hour. While a loud explosion was reported across central Israel, Channel 12 confirmed that multiple incoming flights to Ben Gurion were rerouted midair and that airspace was temporarily closed following the impact. According to Israeli reports, this marks the eleventh Houthi missile to trigger sirens in Israel since early May and the 37th since hostilities in Gaza reignited in March. At the same time, Saree reported the launch of two Yaffa drones aimed at targets in Haifa and Tel Aviv, which he described as 'vital enemy infrastructure.' The group framed the attacks as retaliation for Israel's ongoing assault on Gaza, where more than 53,650 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed since October 2023. The announcement follows Ansarallah's May 19 declaration of a naval blockade on Haifa Port, where the Houthis warned all shipping companies with vessels currently docked in or en route to Haifa to consider the port a military target.

Yemeni Missile Hits ‘Ben Gurion Airport' Disrupting Flights and Triggering Security Chaos
The Yemeni Armed Forces launched a ballistic missile that struck 'Ben Gurion Airport' on Thursday, in what they described as a 'high-precision military operation' targeting the Israeli occupation entity's main international gateway near the occupied city of 'Tel Aviv.' The missile, identified as a Zulfiqar, was launched by Yemen's missile unit and successfully hit its mark, according to military spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree. Saree said the strike forced a shutdown of airport operations for nearly an hour and sent over a million Israelis scrambling for shelter, underscoring the growing reach of Yemen's retaliatory capabilities amid the Israeli enemy's ongoing military campaign in Gaza. In a parallel operation, Yemen's air force carried out a coordinated drone assault using two Yafa-type UAVs. These drones reportedly targeted strategic sites in the occupied cities of Haifa and Jaffa. The armed forces described the strikes as part of a broader response to the massacres committed by Israeli occupation forces in Gaza. Brigadier General Saree warned that Yemen would continue and escalate its support operations unless the assault on Gaza ends. 'The people of Gaza are defending the entire Arab and Islamic nation. Yemen will, with God's help, continue its support operations and will not hesitate to escalate,' he said, framing the attacks as a moral, religious, and humanitarian duty. Hebrew-language media outlets corroborated the missile launch from Yemen and confirmed disruptions at Ben Gurion Airport. Yedioth Ahronoth reported a halt in landings and widespread delays following the strike while noting a mass rush of civilians to bomb shelters. The attack intensified the already cautious stance of international airlines, many of which have suspended flights to and from Israel amid security concerns. According to 'Israel Hayom,' Air France and Dutch airline Transavia extended their suspension of flights until May 24. Italian carrier ITA Airways has halted flights to and from 'Tel Aviv' until June 8. Hebrew media outlets described the impact on Ben Gurion as severe, stating the airport 'no longer maintains the vibrant activity it once had' due to continued Yemeni strikes. It also highlighted the growing reluctance of global carriers to resume services to the occupied lands, citing mounting fears over security and operational stability. Yemen's military has issued repeated warnings to international airlines, urging them to avoid Israeli airspace as part of its campaign to impose a full aerial blockade on the country. According to the latest estimates, at least 20 international airlines have suspended operations at Zionist airports in response to the escalating Yemeni missile and drone campaign — a move that is steadily eroding the occupied territories' air connectivity and deepening the sense of economic and security disarray within the country.
