Yemen deploys 'cluster missile' against several sensitive Israeli targets

Yemen's Armed Forces have announced hitting several sensitive Israeli targets with a hypersonic ballistic missile fitted with "multiple reentry warheads."

In a statement on Tuesday, the servicemen said they had struck the targets in the vicinity of the holy occupied city of al-Quds with a "cluster missile" of the "Palestine-2" variant.

"The operation successfully achieved its objective, causing millions of Zionist settlers to flee to shelters," they added.

The statement came a little over two weeks after the Israeli regime's air force was reported to have launched an investigation into whether the Yemeni forces had deployed a "new missile" during a pro-Palestinian strike against the occupied Palestinian territories.

According to Ynetnews, the website for the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth, which published the report on August 23, the missile had "bypassed the regime's interception systems" and landed "near the city of Tel Aviv" a day earlier.

The investigation, it added, was looking into whether the projectile "carried cluster munitions."

At the time, the Israeli outlet also integrated a video in its report, showing a missile splitting into fragments mid-air while flying over the occupied territories, saying the projectile had apparently been fired from the direction of the Arab Peninsula country.

Adding to their Tuesday statement, the Armed Forces said their operation had come as part of Yemen's continued support for oppressed Palestinians in the face of continued Israeli occupation and aggression.

Particularly, the strike was meant as an instance of support for the people in the Gaza Strip, who have been subject to an Israeli war of genocide since October 2023.

The servicemen have been conducting numerous such solidarity strikes since the onset of the war.

They have targeted Ben Gurion, the regime's key airport, on many occasions as part of an aerial blockade that they have imposed on the regime. They have also faced the regime with a naval blockade, targeting Israeli ships and other vessels heading towards the occupied territories.

Also on Tuesday, the forces announced striking the Ramon Airport and two other key sites in the southern parts of the occupied territories with "three drones."

Sana'a, they added, would sustain its strikes until the regime ended the war and a simultaneous siege it has been enforcing on Gaza.
