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.

Israelis Hurl Abuse at Extremist Ben Gvir on Beach

Israeli beachgoers hurled abuse and shouted at Israel’s Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir as he visited a Tel Aviv beach with his family, Friday. They demanded that he leaves the beach at once.

One man kept shouting at the extremist prime minister in the Netanyahu government in front of the camera as he walked with his family and surrounded by bodyguards.

The incident is trending on the social media. The man kept shouting at Ben Gvir. “killer….murderer…the kidnapped are killed in Gaza! the kidnapped are killed in Gaza! Murderer. A killer and a trip to the sea. On the beach….

…don’t come here…Killer of childhood! Kidnapping killer. You are a murderer. Killer. The Abductees in Gaza are dead. Dead because of you! They die because you kill them! You are a killer. How dare you walk on the beach…” the man kept telling Gvir who appeared all smiles and tried to show that everything was normal.

A 27-year-old threw wet sand at Ben Gvir and run into the sea with the body guards pounded on her and arrested her where she spent one night in jail.

He later wrote “I arrived today for a few hours with my family at the beach in Tel Aviv and was warmly received by the beachgoers. A small group of left-wing protesters on the beach started shouting at me and calling for me to leave. It’s their right, this is freedom of speech, but the beach doesn’t belong to their father.”

Together with Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, he insists that the war on Gaza – now in its 11th month – continues regardless of the release of the hostages and that if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stops the slaughter they will leave his government and mean its downfall.

The Israeli military stated, Thursday, it detected 1,307 rockets and drones launched against from Lebanon in August alone.

In a statement, the Shin Bet domestic security service said around 42 rockets and drones were fired daily against Israel from Lebanon last month according to an Anadolu report.

Israelis Face Deadly Resistance Battles After 11 Months

Military expert Major-General Fayez Al-Duwairi said that the Israeli army does not convey the true picture of what it is doing in the Gaza Strip. He added that the occupation army talks about a third phase of military operations that is supposed to be a stage of raids while it is continuing to kill civilians in many ways.

He added – in a military analysis on Al Jazeera – the suffering inflicted by the occupation on civilians in the Strip is not reflected on the Palestinian resistance, which created a new concept of asymmetrical warfare, dominated by the “tunnels war” where resistance fighters continue to  emerge from in specific times to carry out specific and deadly military missions.

Al-Duwairi pointed out the Palestinian resistance groups dominated by Hamas, Islamic Jihad and others are still, after about a year of war, capable of fighting and have a stockpile of weapons, fighters and fighters that are being recruited by the day according to Jo24. The war on Gaza was launched soon after 7 October, 2023.

He said Hamas did not take part in the last two wars – 2021 and 2022 – started by Israel on the Gaza Strip, which helped it provide a stockpile of weapons for this present war that is lasting longer than necessary because the world forgot about the atrocities of Gaza as he points out.

The military expert reiterated that the resistance, which continues to bomb the settlements and bases around the Gaza Strip and southern Tel Aviv, confirms its ability to continue the war for longer than anybody has expected.

At the same time it is finding it more difficult for the resistance groups to fight from “zero distances” because of the geographical alterations of Gaza. The Israeli army are now taking up positions far from residential areas with the exception of Tel Sultan, which has been witnessing violent battles for more than three months, he concluded.
