Reports from Al Jazeera and Al-Arabiya on Monday detailed sirens sounding in Tel Aviv and surrounding areas, accompanied by explosions in the West Bank. The Israeli army’s defense systems were activated in response to the attacks. A Yemeni missile strike on Tel Aviv reportedly led to the temporary shutdown of Ben-Gurion International Airport, disrupting incoming flights.
The missile attack followed a statement by Mohammed Ali al-Houthi of Yemen’s Supreme Political Council, praising Palestinian resistance groups on the anniversary of Operation Al-Aqsa Storm. Al-Houthi warned of future rocket launches on Israeli territories, promising “waves of hypersonic missiles.”
Yemen’s solidarity with Palestine in the face of Israeli aggression has been ongoing since the onset of a military conflict in Gaza. Yemeni Armed Forces vow to continue their assaults until Israel halts its deadly operations, which have claimed thousands of lives. A military coalition led by the US and UK has further escalated tensions in the region.
The conflict in the Middle East continues to intensify, with both Yemen and occupied territories facing sustained violence.
