Ansarallah announced that a Palestine 2 hypersonic missile struck Ben Gurion Airport and drones hit targets in Jaffa and Ashkelon, declaring the operations a show of solidarity with the Palestinian people.

The Yemeni Armed Forces announced on Friday that their missile forces had carried out a military operation targeting Ben Gurion Airport in the occupied Jaffa region, using a ‘Palestine 2’ hypersonic ballistic missile.

In a statement, Ansarallah’s military spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree confirmed that the missile had bypassed Israeli air defense systems and struck its target.

He said the operation created “widespread confusion within the ranks of the enemy,” forced “millions of settlers” into shelters, and led to the suspension of operations at the airport.

Saree added that the Yemeni Air Force had also conducted two additional operations using drones, striking what he described as “vital military targets” belonging to the Israeli occupation in Jaffa and Ashkelon.

He stressed that both strikes had achieved their objectives.

He described the operations as “a victory for the oppressed Palestinian people and their fighters, and a direct response to the Zionist crimes of genocide and starvation against our people in the Gaza Strip.”

The spokesman concluded his statement by emphasizing that “Yemen, with its steadfast people, its struggling army, and its faithful leadership, will remain at your side until the aggression against you ends and the siege is lifted,” praising the heroism and sacrifices of the Palestinian people in confronting the Israeli occupation.

Ansarallah, the political and military movement leading Yemen’s armed resistance, has consistently framed its operations as part of a wider “support front” for Gaza.

The group has pledged that its missile and drone strikes on Israel will continue “in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their Resistance forces,” underscoring its role in the regional campaign against the ongoing war and siege on the Gaza Strip.
