“Israel’s” US-Made THAAD Fails Again as Yemen Targets Key Airport with Hypersonic Missile

By Staff, Agencies

Yemen’s Armed Forces [YAF] have again targeted the "Israeli" Ben Gurion airport near the city of "Tel Aviv" with a hypersonic ballistic missile as US THAAD system fails for the second time this week.

The operation took place on Friday, spreading chaos across the occupied Palestinian territories and forcing millions of the entity’s illegal settlers to run towards shelters, the forces said in a statement conveyed by spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree.

According to the official, the “qualitative military operation successfully achieved its goal.”

The projectile triggered sirens across "Tel Aviv" and “more than 200 other locations,” "Israeli" media outlets reported.

The attack had enemy scramble to activate its missile systems, including the American-made THAAD air defense system, the entity’s Channel 14 reported.

According to the channel, the missile system, however, failed to intercept the projectile, marking the “second” time that the expensive apparatus was falling short in the face of incoming Yemeni fire.

Various "Israeli" outlets, meanwhile, reported explosions in eastern "Tel Aviv" and the holy occupied city of al-Quds, where the THAAD had been activated.

Saree said the Friday strike came “within the implementation of the no-fly zone imposed on the criminal 'Israeli' enemy entity," adding that the interception systems failed to intercept the missile, halting airport operations for nearly an hour.

Separately, “The UAV [unmanned aerial vehicle] force of the YAF carried out a military operation targeting a vital 'Israeli' enemy target in the occupied area of 'Yaffa',” the official said, referring to an area lying near "Tel Aviv".

The spokesman asserted that the Yemeni servicemen would not stop short of enforcing the aerial blockade.

“The Armed Forces reiterate their warning to airlines that have not yet complied with the ban, that they must immediately halt their flights to occupied Palestine, as others have done.”

Saree reasserted Sana’a’s stance that such operations targeting sensitive and strategic "Israeli" targets would last until the occupying entity ceased its war on Gaza and ended the siege.
