Yemen’s Armed Forces have again targeted the Israeli regime’s busiest airport in continuation of Sana’a’s aerial blockade against the regime, this time striking the facility with two armed drones.
The servicemen announced the development through a statement on Wednesday, identifying the target in question as the Ben Gurion airport, and the unmanned aerial vehicles used to strike it as “Yaffa” drones.
The operation, the statement added, “successfully achieved its objective.”
The servicemen have been carrying out numerous such operations since October 2023, when the regime began taking the Gaza Strip under a genocidal war.
They then expanded the operations to include a naval blockade affecting Israeli ships and the vessels carrying out commercial and military supplies towards the occupied Palestinian territories.
An aerial blockade followed, prompting many international airlines to suspend their flights towards the territories.
The servicemen emphasized Yemen’s continued support and solidarity with the Palestinian cause of liberation from Israeli occupation and aggression, describing the latest strike as a “victory for the oppressed Palestinian people.”
The statement, meanwhile, underlined the global Muslim nation’s responsibility towards the war-hit Palestinians.
“While pilgrims of the House of Allah prepare to stand at Arafat in praise and glorification,” they said — referring to underway annual Hajj pilgrimage — “the blood of our brothers in Gaza continues to be shed.”
Muslims should, therefore, utilize their influence and responsibilities towards halting the brutal military onslaught, the statement read.
‘Muslims have the power to stop Israeli genocide’
The forces asserted, however, that “the sons of the Islamic Ummah (Nation) have the power to stop the unprecedented bloodshed in Gaza.”
They, therefore, demanded that Muslims worldwide abandon any dilatory measures that could come in the way of providing due and prompt support for the Palestinians in the coastal sliver.
The statement finally stressed that Yemen’s strikes against the occupied territories would persist until the regime ceased the war and a near-total siege it has been imposing on Gaza.
