The military spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces affiliated with the Houthi “Ansar Allah” movement, Yahya Saree, announced on Tuesday the implementation of two military operations targeting Ben Gurion Airport and a power station south of Jerusalem.
He said: “We successfully targeted Ben Gurion Airport in occupied Jaffa with a hypersonic ballistic missile, and we also successfully targeted a power station south of occupied Jerusalem with a ballistic missile.”
He added that the two operations coincided with an operation targeting the aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman, pointing out that the operation was carried out with a large number of drones and missiles while the American forces were preparing for a major air attack on our country.
Yahya Sarie confirmed that “the naval operation achieved its goals and the American air attack that was being prepared on our country was foiled,” as he put it.
Israeli Army Radio quoted a military source as saying that interceptor missiles were fired at two ballistic missiles launched from Yemen, one after it crossed Israeli airspace and the second before it entered.
The Israeli army confirmed that the Air Force intercepted a missile launched from Yemen before it penetrated Israeli airspace.
Israeli media reported that navigation at Ben Gurion Airport was halted and planes were directed away from it following the launch of the two missiles.
The Israeli ambulance service announced two injuries, one of them a traffic accident, after the panic that struck the Israelis as a result of the two missiles being fired from Yemen.
In this context, the deputy head of the media body of the Ansar Allah group said, “The operations are continuing and escalating until the aggression against Gaza stops,” adding that “the missiles reached the skies of occupied Palestine without objection.”
The deputy head of the Ansar Allah group’s media body said, “The enemy’s depth and internal front will not be secure unless Gaza is secure.”
