Yemeni Army Attacks Ben Gurion Airport and U.S. Fleet in the Red Sea

Brigadier General Yahya Saree provided details about these new attacks, stating that the Yemeni missile force fired a Zulfiqar ballistic missile and a Palestine 2 hypersonic ballistic missile at Ben Gurion Airport, located on the outskirts of Tel Aviv.

This attack triggered alarm sirens in over 300 locations throughout the occupied territories, causing thousands of people to seek shelter.

According to IWN statistics, this missile attack on Ben Gurion Airport marks the 84th air operation conducted by the Yemeni army against Israeli positions in occupied Palestine.

The Yemeni government’s objective in these ongoing attacks on Ben Gurion Airport is to disrupt and halt flights at this key facility. Ben Gurion Airport serves as a major hub for receiving military cargo and essential goods into the occupied territories. Reducing its operations and closing the Red Sea route for vessels associated with Israel would impose significant economic pressure on the Israeli regime.

The Yemeni armed forces conducted missile, naval, and drone attacks on the USS Harry Truman aircraft carrier and US destroyers in the Red Sea, launching several ballistic and cruise missiles as well as suicide drones. This assault was a response to recent airstrikes by US warplanes on Yemen. It marks the second confrontation between Yemeni forces and the US Navy within the past 24 hours and effectively neutralized air operations against Yemen.

In the last day, US warplanes carried out 12 airstrikes near Saada city, targeting the Kataf, Sahar, and Saqeen districts. One significant target of these airstrikes was the Rasool Al-Azam (PBUH) Specialized Cancer Hospital in Saada city, which has been bombed twice in recent days.

At the end of his statement, the spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces called on all free individuals in the Islamic Ummah to fulfill their religious, moral, and humanitarian duties toward the oppressed Palestinian people. He emphasized that the operations conducted by the Yemeni Armed Forces to impede Israeli shipping and target the depths of the occupying regime will continue until the aggression ends and the siege on the Gaza Strip is lifted.

The Yemeni army’s operation against the US Navy’s 8th strike fleet is the 16th missile and drone operation targeting this fleet in recent weeks. Additionally, this operation marks the 191st Yemeni military action against illegal ships, including those from Israel, the United States, Britain, and their affiliated entities.

The ongoing conflict between the US military and the Yemeni armed forces, along with the regional conditions, has prompted American officials to deploy strategic bombers to US bases in the Indian Ocean to escalate their attacks. Three B-2 bombers are being moved toward Diego Garcia Island.

Diego Garcia Island is located 3,500 kilometers from Yemen and has served as the primary base for US strategic bombers during previous operations in West Asia and Central Asia. While the Yemeni army currently lacks the capability to carry out military operations against this base, if it is used to conduct attacks against Yemen, the Yemenis could retaliate by targeting other US bases in West Asia and Africa.
