Yemen’s Armed Forces spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree has announced that his country conducted a missile attack against an Israeli airbase in retaliation for the regime’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
In a statement on Friday, Yahya Saree said the Yemeni forces carried out a military operation targeting the Israeli enemy’s Ramat David Airbase, east of the occupied Haifa area, using a ‘Palestine-2’ hyper-sonic ballistic missile.
The missile successfully reached its target, and the interceptor systems failed to intercept it. According to the statement, the attack took place in support of the oppressed Palestinian people against the US-backed Israeli war on Gaza.
Saree vowed that the retaliatory operations would continue until the Israeli war ends and the siege imposed on the Palestinian community, rounded up in the Gaza Strip, is lifted.
His statement came as the Israeli military reported that it had identified the launch of a ballistic missile from Yemen, but didn’t report its interception. The regime’s military only said missile systems were working to intercept the threat.

Sirens were set off across large swathes of the northern part of the occupied territories, including the city of Haifa, in the early hours of Friday.
Israeli media reports said an Israeli man was injured as he ran to shelters after air raid sirens sounded, adding that missile fragments fell near the Gadish settlement. According to the reports, the missile systems failed to intercept the missile.
Citing Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth, Yemen’s al-Masirah also reported that a number of arrivals and departures at Ben Gurion International Airport were suspended because of the attack.
The Yemeni attack took place hours after the USA launched a strike on Yemeni citizens, in an attempt to stop the country’s pro-Gaza operations, leaving three people injured.
Since the onset of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, Yemeni forces have carried out scores of operations in support of the war-hit Gazan’s, striking targets throughout the occupied Palestinian territories.
In addition Yemen has also been targeting Israeli ships or supply vessels heading towards ports in the occupied Palestine.
In support of Israel, the USA announced the formation of a maritime task force in the Red Sea in December 2023 to protect the passage of vessels bound for the Israeli-occupied territories.
The Yemeni forces responded by ramping up their strikes against strategic and sensitive Israeli and American targets, including the US warships and aircraft carriers that are deployed off Yemen’s coastline.

Israel is running into a brick wall, politically, economically and militarily.
Hopefully the airbase is completely out of services with many terrorists cremated. Well done warriors of Yemen for smashing those Chabad/talmudic terrorists monsters.
