In a televised statement on Sunday, Yemeni military spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree confirmed that the strike was carried out with a hypersonic missile dubbed “Palestine-2.”

“The operation successfully achieved its objective,” Saree said, adding that the attack triggered air raid sirens, disrupted flights, and “halted airport activity” in the occupied territories.

The Yemeni spokesman said the strike was part of a wider campaign in response to Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, now in its 22nd month, and in retaliation for Israeli air raids on Yemen.

    I think Yemen and Iran are the only two non shill states in the middle east.

    Even more insult to injury, I’m pretty sure they’re also the only two non shill Islamic states as well.

    And if you discount Iran’s terrible nepotism regime, that leaves just Yemen as the only non shill Islamic state that has a publicly supported government.

    A war torn nation that relies on global aid has more control over its sovereignty than every one of the nations in the OIC.

      Crazy coincidence that they were both secular before the US got its way
