Yemen fires hypersonic missile at Israeli airbase
Yemen has fired a hypersonic missile at an Israeli airbase in the Negev in the southern part of the occupied territories in solidarity with Palestinians and Lebanese people who are subjected to Israeli barbarism.
The spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, on Friday announced that they launched an attack on the “Nevatim” airbase in the Negev, using the “Palestine 2” hypersonic ballistic missile.
The military operation “achieved its goal successfully,” he added.
The statement stressed that the attack came in support of the “oppressed” Palestinian and Lebanese peoples.
The Yemeni armed forces vowed to continue their retaliatory operations until Israel’s aggression on Gaza and Lebanon ends.
Saree made the remarks in a statement at a rally in the capital Sana’a on Friday.
On an almost weekly basis, Yemenis have been staging mass protests across the country to condemn the Israeli atrocities in Gaza and Lebanon, and to reiterate their support for their country’s retaliatory operations.
Since the onset of Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip in October 2023, the Yemeni forces have carried out scores of operations in support of the war-hit Gazans, striking targets throughout the occupied Palestinian territories, in addition to targeting Israeli ships or vessels heading towards ports in the occupied territories.
Israel launched the war on Gaza on October 7, 2023 after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas waged the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity in response to the Israeli regime's decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.
The regime’s bloody onslaught on Gaza has so far killed at least 44,056 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured more than 104,268 others. Thousands more are also missing and presumed dead under rubble.
Israel has also been targeting Lebanon since October 2023, when it launched the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
Since late September, the regime has escalated its strikes on Lebanon, killing hundreds of people.
