Yemeni Armed Forces: Hypersonic Strike Hits Ben Gurion Airport, Shattering ’Israeli’ Defenses

Translated by Al-Ahed News

The Yemeni Armed Forces announced a successful hypersonic missile strike on “Ben Gurion” Airport, causing mass panic, paralyzing air traffic, and exposing the failure of US and “Israeli” interception systems.

They also warned global airlines to cease flights to the now-unsafe airport, reaffirming Yemen’s commitment to supporting Gaza until the siege ends.

Statement issued by the Yemeni Armed Forces

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Allah Almighty says: " And Allah will surely support those who support Him. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might." — The Holy Quran

In support of the oppressed Palestinian people and their valiant resistance, and in rejection of the genocidal crimes being perpetrated by the “Israeli” enemy against our brothers in Gaza:

The missile force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a military operation targeting Ben Gurion Airport in occupied Yafa [“Jaffa”].

By the grace of God, the missile struck its target with precision.

The operation resulted in the following:

• The complete failure of US and “Israeli” interception systems.
• Over three million settlers fleeing to bomb shelters.
• A total shutdown of the airport’s operations for over an hour.

Accordingly, the Yemeni Armed Forces renew their warning to all international airlines to suspend flights to Ben Gurion Airport, as it is no longer safe for air navigation.

Earlier last night, the Air Force conducted a separate military operation using a Yafa-type drone, targeting a vital “Israeli” site in the occupied city of Asqalan [“Ashkelon”].

With God’s help, Yemen—its people, leadership and army—will remain steadfast in the face of the US aggression and will not abandon their religious, moral and humanitarian duty toward the oppressed people of Palestine, regardless of the consequences, until the aggression on Gaza stops and the siege is lifted.

Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best guardian, the best master, and the best supporter.

Long live Yemen—free, honorable and independent.

Victory for Yemen and for all the free people of the Ummah.
