Sinwar Praises The Yemeni ‘Hypersonic Missile’ on Tel Aviv

Abdul-Malik Al Houthi, leader of the Houthi Ansar Allah group in Yemen, received a special message from the Hamas political bureau Chief Yahya Sinwar, in which the latter blessed the launch of a ballistic missile that reached the heart of Israel in the occupied Palestinian territories.

Sinwar expressed his elation for the Houthis’ support for the Palestinian resistance in its Flood of Al-Aqsa battle as according to what was reported by Houthi-affiliated media outlets.

Sinwar blessed the success of the military operation, coming in the fifth phase of the escalation with the missile striking deep into the Israeli entity while bypassing all layers and systems of defense and interception. He noted the operation restored what he termed as the glow of the Flood of Al-Aqsa Battle and its impact on the heart of Jaffa “Tel Aviv” once again.

Genocide’s Failure

Sinwar stressed the steps to contain and neutralize the resistance fronts being carried out under American supervision have failed, just as the genocide war against the Palestinian people has failed.

He stressed the successful operation sent a clear message to the enemy that the impact of the so-called “support fronts” have started to take a more effective direction, and greater impact on the path to resolve the battle in favor of our free and proud peoples.

The political bureau chief praised what he called the heroes of Yemen as developing creatively their military capabilities till they have reached the Israeli depth.

Sinwar sent greetings to the great Yemeni people: “Throughout its history, Yemen has always supported our Palestinian people and their just cause, and its fields continue to witness weekly actions in support of the Battle of the Flood of Al-Aqsa.”

On the current Gaza humanitarian situation, Sinwar to two facts: The state of pain and severe suffering as a result of the Nazi aggression, genocide, siege and starvation, which requires all the sons of the nation to support and stand by it, and the state of valiant resistance led by the Qassam Brigades, which waged the 7 October attack with unparalleled competence, and waged a defensive battle throughout an entire year that exhausted and inflicted heavy losses on the enemy.

At the end of the message he confirmed the resistance is well and what the Israeli enemy is announcing is nothing but lies and psychological warfare, stressing the resistance prepared itself to fight a long battle of attrition that will break the enemy’s political will, just as the Al-Aqsa flood is breaking its military will.

He also stressed combining efforts with Yemen and the valiant resistance in Lebanon and Iraq will break this enemy and defeat it on the path to expelling it from the land of Palestine.

New Hypersonic Missile

Sunday, Yemeni military spokesman, Brigadier-General Yahya Saree, announced the implementation of a qualitative operation during which “an Israeli military site in the Jaffa area in occupied Palestine was targeted.”

In a statement, he confirmed that this operation comes as a victory for the injustice of the Palestinian people.

He pointed out the operation was carried out with a new “hypersonic” ballistic missile, and it succeeded in reaching its target while stressing the failure of Israeli defenses to confront or intercept it.

He pointed out the missile traveled a distance of 2,040 kilometers in 11 and a half minutes, and it caused a state of fear and panic among the Israelis, as more than two million Israelis headed to shelters for the first time in Israel’s history according to Al Ghad TV.

Yemeni Tel Aviv Ballistic Shocks Israeli Psychology

Dr Marwan Asmar 

The Israeli government and army are in a shocked mood, Sunday morning, over the ballistic missile, all the way from Yemen – that landed in the east of Tel Aviv and just six kilometers from Ben Gurion Airport.

The defense missiles, some the best in the Israeli military, including the Iron Dome, the Arrow and David’s Sling, saw the route of the Hatem 2 ballistic missile but failed to intercept it as it crashed in the surrounding forest areas of Tel Aviv causing mass fires with its shrapnels reaching the airport and a train station on the outskirts of Modi’in in central Israel with reports of damage according to the Israeli Haaretz.

Social media video clips show a train was hit on a rail line with smoke billowing out of it with one suggesting it was a  “direct hit to Israeli infrastructure” and that “Israel on fire.”

Shock psychology

The incoming surface-to-surface missile created havoc in the psychology of Israelis, most of whom were still asleep.  

As they heard the sirens warnings triggered in all areas of the so-called Greater Tel Aviv, all Israelis – reported to be 2,365,000 by the Hadshot Bazman website – tried to get to the underground shelters as quickly as possible with nine people being injured as a result of the “stampede-like” situation and “crush” that happened for sirens started bellowing at 6 pm in the morning.

Israeli security expert Yossi Melman said the single Yemeni missile breached the entire layered defense system of Israel as the Yemen missile was able to bypass 22 defense posts and whose counter-missiles were unable to shoot the single ballistic down, and turning Israel’s top-dollars defense systems into a laughing stock.  

Israeli media reports say the military has already opened an investigation into the missile but they point also this is the third Yemeni success whose ballistic missiles targeted Tel Aviv, Eilat and now the Ben Gurion Airport.

The Houthis are saying nothing can stop us now for continually targeting Israel until the war on Gaza is stopped.  

The Yemenis are saying this is just the beginning. 

The Yemeni Defense Minister and Chief of General Staff in Sanaa issued, Saturday, a stern warning to the “enemies of the nation and the evil trio of America, Britain, and Israel,” stating what is coming will be “harsher and more severe than anything they have faced in the past,” as reported in the almayadeen website.

Israeli Army Radio reported “the ballistic missile launched from Yemen traveled a distance of approximately 2,000 kilometers (1,243 miles), taking around 15 minutes of flight time according to Anadolu. Yet it was not detected in time. The Israeli army says it is investigating why.

But this is surely to be a psychological blow to the Israeli military which is already under intense pressure from Hezbollah trajectories from the north to stop the war that Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu refuses to.

Bloomberg: Yemen Caused Bankruptcy of Eilat Port

According to Bloomberg, the bankruptcy of Israel’s Eilat port is attributed to the Yemeni resistance’s blockade of ships attempting to aid Israel amid its ongoing genocide in Gaza according to the Quds News Network.

Despite efforts by the U.S.-UK coalition to counter Yemen’s blockade in the Red Sea, Eilat port remains largely out of service to this day.

Netanyahu is Leading Israel Into The Abyss – Ehud Olmert

Ehud Olmert, former Israeli Prime Minister confirmed that Benjamin Netanyahu does not want to recover the Israeli prisoners in the Gaza Strip, and that the ceasefire negotiations may collapse. He warned the current Israeli prime minister is leading Israel to the abyss and a comprehensive war in the Middle East.

In a recent Haaretz article Olmert added, the continuation of the war in the Gaza Strip and its expansion in the north with Hezbollah will increase the chances of a comprehensive regional war with other parties like the Yemeni armed forces, and other groups supported by Iran in Syria and Iraq joining in.

He said such a scenario would pose a real threat to Israel, and a step that will lead to the deaths of many soldiers and settlers. He noted this will cause serious damage to the physical infrastructure inside Israel and to a real deterioration in its international standing.

He pointed out Netanyahu must choose between abandoning his declared goal of “absolute victory” and continuing the war and expanding it into a comprehensive confrontation on multiple fronts without a reasonable timetable to end it. He added that Israel is approaching a comprehensive war in great strides, and this is what Netanyahu, Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich want.

Olmert called on Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant, Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, and Mossad chief David Barnea to jointly announce their resignations, as soon as Netanyahu thwarts negotiations to reach a ceasefire agreement in Gaza in the coming days.

In a related context, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz said in its editorial that the prisoners that are being held in Gaza, now in their 11-month of captivity have “begun to slowly rot in Hamas tunnels, and have become secondary figures for Netanyahu.”

The newspaper pointed out that Netanyahu sometimes says that he is ready to negotiate, and other times he lengthens the Israeli delegation’s rope, and announces that he will be flexible, but suddenly he adds new conditions, revealing that he says in closed political salons that there is no ceasefire deal, and in the meantime more prisoners are dying according to the Quds News Network.

Netanyahu: Tough But on Shaky Grounds

Despite his tough and uncompromising stands Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stands on shaky grounds.

As reported in the Jewish Maariv daily and highlighted in the Quds News Network, his teflon-factor toughness is dented domestically and daily, as characterized by the popular opposition against his rule, in the street and the Knesset.

Around 55% of Israelis have low confidence in the current military leadership of the country; 73% don’t trust the government and 71% express very low trust in Netanyahu.

Further, 86% are concerned about the security situation in Israel; 73% worried about the economic situation of the country and 63% support the recruitment of ultra-Orthodox Jews into the army.

Around 500,000 Israelis have left the country since 7 October, 2023, and the Ben Gurion Airport is already packed with travelers wanting to leave following Friday’s Houthi drone attack on Tel Aviv.

Netanyahu is visiting the United States with all these statistics staring him in the face.

He is addressing the US Congress and meeting US President Joe Biden amidst a declining trust among Israelis in his leadership.

This is particularly due to his failure to secure a ceasefire that could facilitate an exchange deal with the resistance in Gaza. At the same time the fate of 120-plus Israeli hostages hang in the balance.

At the same time, he is facing intense pressure from far-right ministers who threaten to dissolve the government if he agrees to a deal.

They are insisting that he initiate an all-out war against Lebanon—a conflict that, according to the U.S., could escalate into a regional war, which the U.S. has warned against.

But the US is worried also because Hezbollah is proving a very strong match in the north whilst the Houthis are prepared for an all out war which would disruptive globally.
