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.

      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.

      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.

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