Yemeni forces launch joint ‘missile and drone’ strikes on key Israeli targets
SANAA, July 07 (YPA) – Yemeni Armed Forces announced that they had launched a joint military operation with 11 missiles and drones targeting Ben Gurion Airport, Ashdod Airport, Ashdod Port, Ashkelon power station, and Eilat Port in response to Israeli attacks on Yemen and in continued support of Gaza.
The Yemeni Armed Forces issued the following statement:
“Our air defense succeeded in confronting the Zionist aggression against our country and thwarting its plan to target a number of Yemeni cities.
This was achieved by forcing a number of combat formations participating in the aggression to leave the airspace, preventing them from launching raids.
The counter-attack was carried out with a number of locally manufactured surface-to-air missiles.
In response to this aggression, and in continued support for the oppressed Palestinian people, the Yemeni Missile Force and Air Force jointly carried out a qualitative military operation using eleven ballistic missiles and drones. The operation was distributed as follows:
• Targeting Lod Airport in the occupied Yafa area with a “Palestine-2” hypersonic ballistic missile.
• Targeting Ashdod Port with a hypersonic ballistic missile.
• Targeting the electricity station in occupied Ashkelon with a hypersonic ballistic missile.
• Targeting Umm al-Rashrash Port with eight drones.
The Yemeni Armed Forces confirm that the missiles and drones have successfully reached their targets, and that the interceptor systems failed to intercept them.
The Yemeni Armed Forces affirm that the Yemen of those who trust in Allah and rely on Allah submits and kneels only to Allah.
The criminal enemy will realize that the aggression against beloved Yemen will cost it dearly and will only push the Yemenis toward greater steadfastness and perseverance, and to more supportive operations for the oppressed Palestinian people.
Yemen, with its loyal people, faithful leadership, and struggling army, is fully prepared to thwart all enemy military plans.
We are fully prepared for a sustained and prolonged confrontation, to confront hostile warplanes, and to counter attempts to break the naval blockade imposed by our armed forces on the enemy, in triumphing for our people in Gaza.
With Allah’ help, we will continue to fulfill our religious, moral, and humanitarian duty by supporting the oppressed Palestinian people in the proud and dignified Gaza Strip until the aggression against them stops and the blockade is lifted.”
