SANA’A, (The Palestinian Information Center) Yemen’s armed forces said it fired a ballistic missile at Ben Gurion airport in central Israel on Thursday morning.
Military spokesman Yehya Sariee said in a televised statement on Thursday that the missile “hit its target and was not intercepted,” forcing Israelis into shelters and disrupting flights.
Sariee said the strike was in support of the Palestinian people and their resistance and in response to the Israeli crimes of genocide and starvation in Gaza.
It was the third missile launch from Yemen against Israeli sites in two days.
On Wednesday, Yemen’s armed forces claimed responsibility for launching missile and drone attacks on “sensitive targets” in Jerusalem, Haifa and Tel Aviv.
This escalation came after Israeli strikes last Thursday in the Yemeni capital Sana’a killed the Yemeni premier along with a number of ministers and officials.
The armed forces in northern Yemen have been frequently launching missile and drone attacks on Israeli targets since November 2023, citing solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza amid the ongoing Israeli genocidal war on Gaza.
