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.
Lol. Why aren’t any other arab nations supporting Palestine?
Bought by the USA to support israel. For example Egypt
A peace agreement with Israel in 1979 concluded the war between the two countries. Israeli forces withdrew from Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. Since then, the US has provided Egypt with a fixed amount of [US$1.5 billion, of which US$1.3 billion is military aid, every year. It goes to financing Egypt’s purchase of weapons systems from US defense contractors

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.
Even more insult to injury, I’m pretty sure they’re also the only two non shill Islamic states as well.
Crazy coincidence that they were both secular before the US got its way
because most nations in the region are ruled by american sponsored puppets, the people do support Palestine but they live in oligarchies, which is why you’ll see from time to time these gulf monarchies pay some lip service to Palestine to appease the population but not do anything about it.
Because in response of this, israel will probably kill 1000 in Yemen, and Palestine as well, just to remind them.
I admire Yemen, but attacking the group that controls all the most powerful countries and weapons is suicide. As they said many times, they will kill 1000 palestinians for every israeli killed, or hurt, or annoyed, or just because a zionist hit his toe in the bed this morning.
Bro tries to argue for doing nothing about the Holocaust because Hitler would strike back.
Sorry, that was not against it. The world needs brave countries like Yemen to show that there is resistance. I wish I could do something even though I knew it would be suicide. But that’s what I was saying, it’s suicide. Martyrdom.
But on the hitler part, if they controlled all the super powers, the global media and had massively stronger military power with atomic bombs, there would have been no other side. They would have won and we would be talking about the holocaust of the poor arian race, which justified everything they did. To make it clear, they would have taken the place of the israel.
If anything Yemen has shown that Israel is not nearly as strong as its pretends to be. Flying a bunch of F35s over Saudi is extremely expensive. Israel relies on shock and awe, a few massive bombing campaigns to scare anyone off. But they cannot keep up that kind of firepower because of the physical distance, and they simply don’t have the bombs for it.
If a party isn’t scared into submission by the initial bombing run there’s not much to follow it up. See also Israel tapping out against Iran after two weeks.
The West is also scared to touch Yemen any further. Likely because the Houhis can destroy more shipping than just what goes through the Red Sea.
No, zionazis always murder regardless of circumstance. Except when they get removed by resistance fighters.
As you said, Israel will kill Palestinians or any Arab they find convenient regardless.
For those in the crosshairs, opposition to genocide is not optional. Yemen has a very long history of fighting imperialist ambitions, they are one of the few with genuine solidarity that dare to take direct action to end the genocide and Zionist colonialism
Again, I gave the impression I’m against it.
They will find the excuse to attack and murder whoever they want, as you said. And this time this will be the excuse they will use. And praise Yemen for standing up against them despite what will come.
I didn’t get the impression you’re against it, just FYI.
I can almost certainly say that “hypersonic” is being used here because it sounds scary and futuristic when really it’s a normal ballistic missile.
Probably true. Although there has been a ton of interest in hypersonics recently for obvious reasons. Fills up half the R&D grants/proposals for DoD
Yes. It has become a buzzword. Outlets, governments, and everyone else are all calling cold war missiles “hypersonic” to make them sound like the latest big bad when they’re just ballistic missiles. That same is true for “kamikaze drones” that are better described as cruise missiles.
