Yemen issues warning, deeming Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport as unsafe amid ongoing hostilities in Gaza and calls for the blockade to be lifted
The Yemeni Armed Forces have issued a statement indicating that Ben Gurion Airport in Israel is currently unsafe for air traffic. This status will persist until hostilities in Gaza cease and the blockade is lifted, according to YAF.

Military spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree disclosed in a statement on Saturday that Yemen has launched a Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile targeting Ben Gurion Airport, located in the contested Yaffa area.
The operation was executed “in solidarity with the oppressed Palestinian populace and their valiant resistance,” according to his statement.
According to Saree, this operation constituted the third missile launch in the last 48 hours, and it has reportedly met its targets successfully.
Further reports from Saree indicate that the Yemeni “UAV Force” has continued its operations for the sixth straight day, launching attacks against US naval forces in the Red Sea. These operations have specifically targeted vessels associated with the USS Harry S. Truman.
He stated that the attacks were a reaction to continuous U.S. hostility towards Yemen.
These operations are a direct countermeasure to the United States’ attempts to curb Yemen’s backing of the Palestinian populace.
The general expressed admiration for the Palestinian populace and their enduring resistance in Gaza, commending their resilience amid the harsh aggression from Zionist forces.
Yemen has resumed its military operations targeting Israeli and US interests after a ceasefire in Gaza, which had held for two months, fell apart. The ceasefire was initially established between the Hamas resistance movement, based in Gaza, and the Israeli government.
Yemen launched a missile strike on Friday, marking the fourth operation this week aimed at the central occupied territories. This action follows the recent escalation of hostilities, as Israel intensified its military operations in Gaza.
