Yemeni forces target Ben Gurion airport during Netanyahu’s arrival

Yemen’s Armed Forces have announced targeting the Ben Gurion airport in the central part of the occupied Palestinian territories concomitantly with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s arrival from a New York visit.

Ahlulbayt News Agency: Yemen’s Armed Forces have announced targeting the Ben Gurion airport in the central part of the occupied Palestinian territories concomitantly with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s arrival from a New York visit.

“The missile force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a targeting operation on Yaffa Airport, called ‘Ben Gurion’ by the Israeli entity, during the arrival of the criminal Benjamin Netanyahu,” the forces said in a statement on Saturday.

The operation was carried out using a Palestine-2 ballistic missile, they added.

The strike came “in support of the oppressed Palestinian people and in response to the crimes of the Zionist enemy in Gaza and Lebanon,” the statement read.

The operation came amid the Israeli regime’s October-present genocidal war on the Gaza Strip and deadly escalation against Lebanon, which have respectively claimed the lives of at least 41,586 Palestinians and hundreds of Lebanese. Women and children comprise the majority of the victims.

The most recent stage of the escalation against Lebanon has seen the regime conducting dozens of airstrikes against the southern suburbs of the country’s capital Beirut. The attacks led to the assassination of Secretary General of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, besides causing hundreds of other casualties.

Since the onset of the Israeli aggression against Gaza and Lebanon, the Yemeni forces have been conducting numerous retaliatory strikes against the occupied territories.

Complementing the statement, they vowed to “continue to respond to the crimes of the Israeli enemy and not hesitate to escalate in accordance with the requirements of the stage in the defense of Gaza and Lebanon.”

They pledged to sustain the operations “until the aggression on Gaza and Lebanon ceases.”
