Yemeni forces have announced a successful "Palestine-2" missile strike on Lod Airport in Jaffa, causing air traffic disruption and prompting Israelis to seek shelter.

Why it matters:

This attack signals a widening scope in the Axis of Resistance’s confrontation with the Israeli regime as the regime's genocide and blockade against Palestinians has intensified in recent weeks.

The big picture:

Yemen’s military actions, including missile strikes, drone operations, and naval blockades, have reshaped regional dynamics. The missile strike is part of a larger pattern of military actions in response to the blockade and attacks on Gaza. It signals a significant escalation in hostilities, with implications for regional stability and international relations.

What he's saying:

  • We targeted Lod Airport in occupied Jaffa with a "Palestine-2" hypersonic ballistic missile. 
  • The operation achieved its goal, forcing millions of Zionists to flee to shelters and halting air traffic at the airport. 
  • The operation came in response to the crime of starvation and thirst imposed on Gaza, as well as the enemy’s aggression on the southern suburb of Beirut. 
  • In these blessed days, we salute all the steadfast fighters in Gaza and all of Palestine — the front line of defense for the entire Islamic nation. We salute the mujahideen of Gaza, the families of Gaza’s martyrs, the wounded, the prisoners, and all our people in Gaza.
  • With Allah's help, Yemen, its proud people, faithful leadership, and mujahid army, stands with Gaza until the aggression stops, the siege is lifted.​​
