Yemen Ansarullah revolutionaries warned on Sunday that the Israeli airports are unsafe, as two Yemeni missiles targeted Ben Gurion Airport in support of Palestinian people in Gaza.
Deputy Head of Ansarullah Media Authority Nasr Al-Din Amer declared that “all airports in occupied Palestine are unsafe,” calling on all airlines to suspend their flights to airports in Palestine “to protect the safety of their passengers.”
He stressed that the Yemeni retaliatory strikes on the occupied territories would persist and escalate “until the aggression ends and the siege on Gaza is lifted.”
“We will impose a no-fly zone on all airports in occupied Palestine in response to the escalation in Gaza,” the Ansarullah official said.
“The Zionists neither heard the Arab Summit nor care about it. The only heard voice now is the sound of explosions in the Zionist depth and this is the language which this entity understands.”
2 Ballistic Missiles Target Ben Gurion
Meanwhile on Sunday, the Yemeni Armed Forces announced they has launched two ballistic missiles toward the occupied territories that targeted Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, threatening to escalate retaliatory operations.
“The missile force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a qualitative military operation targeting Lod Airport, Israeli named ‘Ben Gurion’ Airport, in the occupied area of Yaffa, using two ballistic missiles, one of which was a hypersonic ‘Palestine-2’ missile and the other a ‘Zulfiqar’ missile,” Yemeni military spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree said in a statement.

“The operation successfully achieved its goal, thanks to Allah, and caused millions of occupying Zionists to rush to shelters, and air traffic at the airport to stop for about an hour.”
Stressing that the anti-Israel operation was in support of the oppressed Palestinian people and in rejection of the crime of genocide perpetrated by the Zionist regime in the Gaza Strip, Saree called on the Muslim world to mobilize to stand against the illegal entity.
Sirens Sound
Earlier before dawn on Sunday, sirens sounded in the Zionist entity’s center, including in Tel Aviv and the surrounding areas, Israeli media reported.
The Israeli occupation military claimed it had intercepted the missile.
“The missile was detected and neutralized by aerial defense systems shortly after launch, which was initially reported at 1:57 a.m. on Sunday,” the Israeli occupation army said, as quoted by Israeli media.
