The Yemeni group’s military spokesman Yahya Saree says the ballistic missile fired at the airport near Tel Aviv has caused thousands of Israelis to rush to shelters and halted air traffic for nearly an hour.

“The operation was carried out with two missiles, one a hypersonic Palestine 2 missile and a Zulfiqar missile,” Saree said during a televised news conference, adding that the attack “successfully achieved its goal”.

“We renew our call to the sons of the nation: Will the nation of two billion Muslims fail to save two million Muslims from the threat of genocide and famine?” he said.

“Abandonment and incompetence will only encourage the enemy to persist in its aggression against all peoples and all countries.”

What an odd way to think.

Their goal is to cause economical suffocation for Israel to put a price on their genocide. Not necessarily to hit it.

Economic suffocation? How do they think that will work with very few random missiles? It just seems like what they do is less driven by an actual plan and more feels. Like with Trump, he just does whatever he likes, regardless of reality.
