Earlier today, Saturday, the Ansar Allah group announced that it had bombed a military target in occupied Jaffa (Tel Aviv area) with a hypersonic ballistic missile. It said that the missile hit its target with high accuracy, and said that the operation came in response to the Gaza massacres and the Israeli aggression against Yemen.
Israel confirmed that 3 interceptor missiles from two defense systems failed to intercept the missile, which caused material damage and injured 30 Israelis.
For its part, the Islamic Resistance Movement (agitation) – in a statement – in what she described as the original position of Ansar Allah, and also appreciated their solidarity and continued support for the Palestinian people, and “the victory for their oppression in the face of the war of genocide and ethnic cleansing.”
The movement emphasized “the solid and strong relationship between the Palestinian and Yemeni peoples,” and expressed its blessing and appreciation to Ansar Allah for “continuing their strikes in the heart of the Zionist entity, in solidarity and support for the people of Gaza in the face of the war of genocide and ethnic cleansing to which they are being subjected.”
In turn, she praised Islamic Jihad Movement With the Houthi attacks on Israel, she said that she blesses those strikes, considering that “the courage and steadfastness shown by our Yemeni brothers in supporting our Palestinian people, in the face of the crimes committed by the criminal entity, is a matter of pride and pride for all free people in the world.”
For her part, AFor the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine “Yemen records a new qualitative breakthrough into the heart of the Zionist enemy to confirm its ability to turn the scales and continue the battle of support,” noting that this operation “represents a new confirmation of Yemen’s ability to change the balance of battle in the region, and reveals the occupation’s inability to confront the will of the Yemeni people.”
She also said that the failure of the occupation and its supporters to intercept the missile constitutes a resounding blow to them, and proves that the Yemeni people continue to support Palestine despite the aggression and siege.

The military expert in the Ansar Allah forces, Colonel Mujib Shamsan, said that the speed of the “Palestine 2” missile – which was developed during the Israeli war on Gaza – reaches Mach 16, and this is what makes all interceptor systems in the region unable to confront it.

The new missile attack comes despite Israeli threats to launch a violent attack on Yemen, and after Israel launched air strikes at dawn last Thursday on facilities in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, and Hodeidah Governorate.
According to the Houthi-run Al-Masirah Channel, Sanaa was subjected to 6 raids, while Hodeidah was targeted by 10 Israeli raids during the past few days. This is the third attack launched by Israel on Yemen since the beginning of the genocide in Gaza in October 2023.
