Yemeni Armed Forces launched a missile strike on Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport, disrupting air traffic and underscoring the growing reach of Yemen’s military capabilities.

The attack, confirmed by Brigadier General Yahya Saree, spokesperson for Yemen’s Armed Forces, is part of a series of retaliatory operations in response to Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza, now in its seventh month.

Saree reiterated Yemen’s commitment to supporting Palestine, vowing that Israeli actions will face consequences and that operations will persist until the Gaza siege is lifted and attacks on Palestinians cease. The strike, which penetrated advanced Western-backed defense systems, including Israel’s Iron Dome, highlights Yemen’s advancing ballistic missile technology and its ability to project power deep into Israeli territory.

Military analysts say the operation exposes vulnerabilities in Israel’s defense infrastructure and signals a shift in regional power dynamics. The Yemeni Armed Forces emphasized their resolve to continue such actions in solidarity with Palestine, further intensifying tensions in the region. (ILKHA)
