News] The Yemeni Armed Forces announced Thursday that The Rocketry Force targeted "Ben Gurion" Airport in the occupied Yafa area with a "Zulfiqar" ballistic missile.
In a statement read by the front man brigadier General Yahya Sare’e, Yemen’s Armed Forces said it also struck a military target in southern occupied Yafa with a "Paleostine-2" hypersonic ballistic missile.
He confirmed that both operations in occupied Yafa successfully achieved their objectives.
The Armed Forces also carried out a joint military operation targeting hostile warships in the Red Sea, including the U.S. aircraft carrier Truman, using a number of ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as drones, according to Saree.
He emphasized that, as a result of recent confrontational operations, they have thwarted the enemy’s attempts to advance its warships toward the southern Red Sea. Additionally, all enemy attempts to escalate aggression against Yemen through

and were successfully intercepted by air defenses, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
"Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in several areas in Israel, two missiles launched from Yemen were intercepted prior to crossing into Israeli territory," the military said in a statement.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage in the attack.
Sirens sounded across central Israel, in Jerusalem and numerous surrounding towns, as well as in several West Bank settlements.
The Houthis quickly grabbed credit for launching the two missiles, saying that one targeted Ben Gurion Airport and another aimed at a "military target" in Jaffa, central Israel.
Italia’s ITA Airways said it had to divert one of its flights because of the missiles and that the flight later landed in Tel Aviv safely.
Additionally, the Houthis claimed to have attacked the American aircraft carrier, USS Truman, with rockets and drones.
Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree stated that "this is only the beginning" of their attacks against Israel.
It marked at least the seventh Houthi attack on Israel since March 18, when the IDF resumed its offensive against Hamas

The attacks came as the US has continued to step up its bombing campaign against the Yemeni rebels, which resumed earlier this month after the group threatened to continue its attacks on Israel and Red Sea shipping.

According to the Houthi-owned al-Masirah news outlet, at least 19 strikes have been carried out since the early hours of Friday morning.
The extent of the damage and possible casualties isn’t immediately clear, though the number of strikes appeared particularly intense compared to other days in the campaign that began March 15.
Initial reports from the Houthis described at least seven people being hurt in the strikes in Sanaa this morning. Other strikes hit around the Red Sea port city of Hodeida, the Iran-backed group’s stronghold of Saada and in Yemen’s al-Jawf, Amran and Marib governorates.
The Houthis have not immediately acknowledged what was targeted at those sites, other than Sanaa International Airport, which is used for both civilian and military traffic. Neighborhoods in the capital are also home to military and intelligence service sites, as well as crowded with civilians.
Other areas hit included mountainous terrain north of Sanaa in Amran, where military camps and other installations are believed to be. al-Masirah satellite news network describes communication networks going down after the attacks.
