Yemeni forces have re-targeted occupied Ben Gurion Airport with a hypersonic ballistic missile

Yemeni forces reported on Sunday that they have launched another attack on Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, employing their hypersonic Palestine 2 ballistic missile in the operation.

The group stated that the strike effectively fulfilled its objective of disrupting air traffic in the Israeli-occupied territories, as long as the ongoing military actions against the Gaza Strip continued.

The Israeli military reported that a missile triggered air raid sirens at approximately 7:30 a.m. in multiple regions across the occupied territories. The forces stated that the missile was successfully intercepted.

According to reports, a missile attack prompted widespread chaos at Ben Gurion Airport as air raid sirens sounded, leading to significant disruption in flight operations.

Flight operations at the airport were temporarily suspended as passengers were safely moved to designated shelters.

Furthermore, Yemeni forces have reported the successful deployment of their missiles and drones targeting the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman, which is currently positioned in the Red Sea.

The Yemeni Armed Forces have reported engaging in a prolonged confrontation with the United States Navy following a series of airstrikes allegedly conducted by American forces. According to a statement released by the Yemeni military, their missile and drone units targeted the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier along with several other U.S. warships in the Red Sea. The engagement, which involved the deployment of various missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles, reportedly lasted several hours.

The Yemeni Armed Forces, emphasizing their reliance on divine assistance, have asserted their ongoing commitment to countering the aggressive actions they describe as brutal and criminal. In their statement, they highlighted their determination and readiness to escalate in response to intensified hostilities.

The statement further emphasized their unwavering commitment to backing the Palestinian population facing hardships and obstructing ‘Israeli’ maritime activities in the designated operational area, pending a cessation of hostilities and the lifting of the embargo on Gaza.

On Saturday morning, Yemen’s military claimed responsibility for launching a ballistic missile aimed at Ben Gurion Airport, marking the third such strike in two days. In a prior statement, the Yemeni Armed Forces declared that Israeli airspace would continue to be perceived as unsafe until hostilities in Gaza come to a halt.

Following an announcement of intensified strikes by Washington against Yemen last week, United States military forces have launched an attack on Hudaydah’s airport in the most recent escalation of military actions in the region.

According to a report from Yemen’s al-Masirah television, American forces conducted three airstrikes on an airport located along the Red Sea coast on Saturday evening. Additionally, Yemeni media sources indicated that the United States executed aerial assaults on the Salif port within Hudaydah province.

The United States has conducted an additional five airstrikes targeted at the Majzar district within Yemen’s central Ma’rib province.

On Wednesday, the United States Central Command announced ongoing military operations targeting Yemen, confirming sustained engagement in the region.

On March 15, the United States launched a series of airstrikes in Yemen, resulting in the deaths of 53 individuals.

In a significant development marking the first of such actions since US President Donald Trump assumed office, deadly strikes were launched. This escalation follows a pledge by Yemeni forces to intensify operations targeting Israeli shipping, declaring their support for Palestinians affected by Israeli military actions.

In a move signaling heightened tensions, the United States has revealed its intentions to dispatch a second aircraft carrier, the USS Carl Vinson, to the region.

In a recent statement, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah movement, remarked that the United States’ aircraft carriers, traditionally seen as symbols of its military power and global influence, have now become “a burden and a danger” for US policymakers. The comments were made on Saturday, highlighting a shift in perception regarding these formidable naval assets, which have long been utilized to assert American strength and intimidate other nations.

In late 2023, the Yemeni Armed Forces initiated military operations targeting the Israeli government following Tel Aviv’s extensive military campaign in Gaza, described as genocidal, against the Palestinian population.

In recent developments, Yemeni forces have recommenced targeting maritime vessels in the Red Sea, marking an end to a halt that had been in effect since January. This resumption of hostilities follows Israel’s cessation of humanitarian aid to Gaza and the violation of the ceasefire agreement, which was originally facilitated by former U.S. President Donald Trump. The initial pause in operations was observed after the announcement of a truce between Israel and Hamas, but tensions have escalated once again, impacting regional stability.

According to reports, over 50,000 Palestinians have lost their lives in Gaza following the initiation of military operations by Tel Aviv, which have been characterized by some as having genocidal implications.
