Citing Israel’s expanded operations in Gaza, Ansarallah vows continued strikes on airports and warns against regional violations.
The Yemeni movement Ansarallah declared on Sunday the launch of a comprehensive aerial blockade on Israel in response to the Israeli government’s decision to expand its military operations in Gaza.
Ansarallah military spokesperson announced on Sunday that Yemen would focus on targeting Israeli airports—chiefly Ben Gurion Airport—as part of its response strategy.
“In response to the Israeli escalation with the decision to expand aggressive operations on Gaza,” the spokesperson said, “the Yemeni Armed Forces announce that they will work to impose a comprehensive air blockade on the Israeli enemy by repeatedly targeting airports, most notably Lod Airport, known in Israel as Ben Gurion Airport.”

The group called on all international airlines to take immediate action.
“The Yemeni Armed Forces call on all international airlines to take into consideration what is stated in this statement from the moment it was announced and published and to cancel all flights to the airports of the criminal enemy to preserve the safety of their aircraft and customers.”
Ansarallah also warned against continued Israeli military actions across the region, referencing recent strikes on neighboring Arab countries.
“Dear, free, and independent Yemen will not accept the continued state of violation that the enemy is trying to impose by targeting Arab countries such as Lebanon and Syria,” the statement added. “This nation will not fear confrontation and will refuse submission and subservience.”
The announcement followed reports that a Yemeni missile struck Ben Gurion Airport on Sunday morning.
According to Israeli media, the projectile bypassed four layers of missile defense systems—including the US-made THAAD and Israel’s Arrow systems—before impact, reportedly creating a 25-meter-deep crater.
Emergency services treated eight Israelis at the scene, including one with moderate injuries.

A poor, war-torn but brave Yemen is tackling both Uncle Sam and his bastard child, almost isolating the later from the rest of the world. In the meanwhile, the coward puppet-rulers of way wealthier Arab countries chose to kowtow before the zios and pledge loyalty to their crumbling “project”. May God bless Yemen and its people. You are on the righteous path.
I am from Vancouver,Canada and i want to say Yemen got what it takes to defeat Genocidal Israel.It is good that Yemen announced a complete Aerial Blockade in Israel in support of Gaza. That is the kind of Action that is needed against Genocidal Israel.Long live Ansar Allah and the Palestinian Resistance.
Yemen is singlehandedly doing what the Arab & Muslim world should have done.
They didn’t retreat but we even refrain from stopping the oppression.
They respect the position&actions of Palestinians under duress but we rebuke it.
They weaken the economy of the enemies but we strengthen it.
They send missiles against the aggressor but we stop missiles and seize munitions.
They didn’t allow arms to get to the aggressor but we allow arms in multitude through our territories to the aggressor.
They support resistance against the oppressor but we suppress it.
Though issues but I still pray ALLAH reward their sacrifices by guiding them to the path the Holy Prophet(s.a.w)& his companions(r.a) were on.
