The chief commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has praised the Yemeni nation for courageously and valorously defending the Palestinian nation amid the bloody Israeli onslaught in Gaza, stating that the people will ultimately emerge triumphant.

Major General Hossein Salami made the remarks in an interview with Yemen’s Arabic-language al-Masirah television channel on Saturday.

“The Yemenis, as they have resisted with dignity and honor up until today, will continue their resistance by the grace of God and will ultimately emerge victorious.”

He added, “The Resistance Front has not weakened; and everyone is witnessing how Yemenis are competently defending Palestine and staging marches every Friday in support of Gaza.”

The Yemeni Armed Forces announced on Friday that it launched a “hypersonic ballistic missile” targeting Israel's Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, asserting it had hit its target.

A ballistic missile launched from Yemen has triggered sirens in dozens of towns and cities in the al-Quds area as well as the southern Negev.

Military spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree said in a televised statement that the strike caused casualties and disrupted air traffic at the airport.

“The missile succeeded in reaching its target despite the enemy's secrecy. The operation resulted in casualties and the suspension of air traffic at the airport,” Sare noted.

Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement has been also targeting ships linked to Israel, the United States, or the United Kingdom to force an end to the Tel Aviv regime’s genocidal war on Gaza.

The Yemeni armed forces have said they will not stop their operations until Israel’s ground and aerial offensives in Gaza end.

So far, Israel has killed at least 45,484 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured another 108,090 individuals in Gaza.
