Why it matters:
Ansaralah joint missile attacks with the Yemeni Army using hypersonic missiles against Israeli targets demonstrate a major blow to Israeli-U.S. anti-missile systems.
The disruption of Ben Gurion Airport, Israel’s main international gateway, is a significant psychological and logistical blow amid ongoing conflict.
The big picture:
The Yemeni Armed Forces have intensified attacks on occupied Lands and Israeli-linked assets. From missile launches toward the Red Sea to direct strikes on Israeli infrastructure, Ansarallah is extending the battlefield far beyond Yemen.
Their latest barrage underlines the growing resistance against the Israeli regime across the region.
What he's saying:
“We targeted the port of 'Lod' in the occupied Jaffa (Tel Aviv) in the Red Sea region for the third time using ballistic missiles,” said the Ansarullah military spokesperson.
“We also hit Ben Gurion Airport with a hypersonic missile, our third missile in less than 24 hours,” he added.
“The strike halted air traffic at Ben Gurion for nearly an hour and sent millions of Zionists fleeing to shelters.”
Key points:
- Millions of Israelis reportedly sought shelter following the strike.
- This is the third missile launched by Yemeni Armed Forces in less than 24 hours.
- Yemen Armed Forces says it struck the Red Sea’s Al-Lod port, now been targeted three times.
Go deeper:
Ansarullah's emerging use of hypersonic technology signals a shift in regional warfare dynamics. These missiles are harder to intercept and increase the strategic threat to Israeli infrastructure.
