The Armed Forces Target Lydda Airport in Occupied Jaffa with the “Palestine 2” Missile
In Response to Genocide and Desecration… Yemen Affirms Its Jihadist Military Presence in Support of Gaza and the Holy Sites
In a qualitative leap illustrating the evolution of Yemeni deterrence and the sustained jihadist engagement in the Ummah’s struggle, the Yemeni Armed Forces announced today, Tuesday, that they had launched a hypersonic ballistic strike against Lydda Airport—known to Israel as Ben Gurion—in occupied Jaffa. Using a “Palestine 2” hypersonic ballistic missile, this operation was carried out in retaliation for the genocidal massacres, systematic starvation, and repeated desecrations of the al-Aqsa Mosque perpetrated by the Zionist enemy against the Palestinian people in Gaza.
A Direct Strike at the Heart of the Zionist Depth
Described as a heavy blow, the operation targeted one of the occupation’s most critical facilities, situated in one of the oldest occupied cities and a key hub within what Israel terms its “interior.” According to the Armed Forces’ statement, the strike achieved pinpoint accuracy, triggering mass panic as millions of Israelis rushed to shelters and bringing airport operations to a standstill.
A Layered Deterrence Message… and an Unwavering Declaration of Solidarity
This attack on Lydda is far more than a logistical hit on an airport—it is a direct strike on the Zionist “national security” apparatus, sending a compounded warning to Tel Aviv, Washington, and all Western capitals that back the aggression. The Yemeni Armed Forces stressed that Yemen—its people, leadership, and army—will never retreat from its faith-driven jihadist stance. They will continue this sacred battle alongside the Palestinian people until the aggression ceases and the siege on Gaza is lifted.
“Palestine 2”… A Missile Beyond History and Geography
What stands out in this—and similar—operations is the deployment of the “Palestine 2” missile, a hypersonic ballistic weapon whose name carries symbolic weight. Branding it “Palestine 2” underscores that the Palestinian cause has never been peripheral to Yemeni consciousness; rather, it is an integral chapter of the grand liberation struggle that the Resistance Axis wages against Zionist-American domination.
From Yemen to Jaffa… The Unity of Battlefronts in Its Purest Form
This strike reaffirms that “unity of battlefronts” is no longer mere rhetoric but a tangible military reality. Sana’a has effectively linked the conflict’s compass from Saada to Gaza, from Yemen’s capital to the al-Aqsa Mosque, solidifying its role in the comprehensive deterrence equation of the Resistance Axis. The Armed Forces reiterated their commitment to continue strategic operations until the siege is broken and the aggression on Gaza ends.
The Military Statement… A Position Born of Doctrine
In its official communique, the Armed Forces declared that this strike represents “a victory for the oppressed Palestinian people and their esteemed mujahideen, and a response to genocidal and starvation crimes, as well as the desecration of the blessed al-Aqsa Mosque by Zionist mobs.” The statement added: “Let the enemy know that our Yemeni mujahid people fear no threats nor dread any repercussions, for our stance is rooted in religious, moral, and humanitarian duty—and we will persist until the aggression ceases and the siege on Gaza is lifted.”
Yemen at the Heart of the Battle… Until Victory
This operation underscores that Yemen’s engagement goes beyond mere verbal solidarity—it is at the core of the conflict and along the genuine lines of confrontation. Today, the Yemeni Armed Forces possess both the capability and the resolve to strike the enemy’s depth whenever and wherever they choose. Targeting Lydda Airport—one of Israel’s principal aviation gateways—is a watershed moment in this campaign, sending the message that every vital facility of the enemy remains under Yemen’s missile threat for as long as Gaza remains besieged.
Yemen… The Resistant Exception
In an era of backsliding and normalization, Yemen stands out as the true bastion of resistance—the principled front that neither compromises nor retreats. As the masks of shame fall away from the so-called normalizing regimes, Sana’a’s voice echoes across history and geography: “With Gaza to victory… with Palestine to liberation… and triumph belongs to the God-fearing.”
