Yemen’s armed forces claim to have carried out a “special operation” targeting Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport with a ‘Palestine-2’ hypersonic ballistic missile.
The strike forced the suspension of all flights and sent millions of Israelis rushing to shelters in panic.
Military spokesperson Yahya Saree said the attack was “a response to the genocide and starvation of Palestinians in Gaza, as well as aggression against Yemen.” He condemned the wider Muslim world for failing to act against Israeli atrocities:
“For two years, Gaza has been bleeding, yet the Islamic world has taken no effective measures. Our operations will continue until the war ends and the blockade of Gaza is lifted.”
