Yemen Escalates Gaza Support, Declares Air Blockade again ’Israel’

By Staff, Agencies

The Yemeni Armed Forces announced that they will enforce an air blockade on "Israel" in their latest escalation against the Zionist entity in support of Gaza.

"In response to ‘Israel's’ escalating aggression and expanded military operations in Gaza, the Yemeni Armed Forces have declared a full air blockade on ‘Israel’," The YAF Spokesperson Brigadier General Yehya Saree said in the statement.

He further emphasized that “The YAF will enforce this by repeatedly attacking airports, with 'Ben Gurion' Airport, known as Lod Airport in Israel, as their primary target.”

The statement calls on all international airlines to consider this announcement from the moment of its issuance and publication, canceling all flights to the criminal enemy's airports to ensure the safety of their aircraft and passengers.

"The proud, free, and independent Yemen will not accept the continued violations that the enemy seeks to impose by targeting Arab nations like Lebanon and Syria. It affirms that this nation will not fear confrontation and will reject submission and surrender," the statement added.

This comes amid a widespread cancellation of flights to "Israel" by major foreign airlines following the Yemeni ballistic missile that landed just 200 meters from the Ben Gurion airport on Sunday.
