YEMEN — On March 25, 2025, the Houthi-aligned Yemeni Armed Forces, which lack international recognition as the legitimate military of Yemen, issued a statement claiming to have conducted two military operations amid current ongoing "24/7" strikes by the United States within Yemen against Houthi positions.
The statement was delivered by Brigadier General Yahya Saree, a spokesperson for the Houthi-aligned forces, though the claims made remain unverified.
Houthi Claim of Missile Strike on Ben Gurion Airport
The first operation, as claimed by the Houthis, involved the launch of two ballistic missiles targeting Ben Gurion Airport in the Tel Aviv area, which the Houthis referred to as the "Yafa region."
According to the statement, the missiles were a "Zulfiqar" and a "Palestine 2," both of which the Houthis described as hypersonic. The Houthis asserted that the operation achieved its objectives, but no specific details on the impact were provided, and the claims have not been independently confirmed.
