The missile that pierced the heart of Tel Aviv from flight cancellations to the failure of defense systems
Yemeni missile Strikes Ben gurion Airport, Shifts Power Balance in Yemen’s Favor
The Yemeni missile that landed at Ben Gurion Airport yesterday together targeted the heart of the military industries and missile defense systems of both the U.S. and the Zionist regime, altering the balance of power in Yemen’s favor.According to a report by webangah News Agency citing Mehr News Agency, Al Jazeera highlighted yesterday’s missile attack by Yemeni armed forces on Ben Gurion Airport—deep within occupied territories and one of the most heavily guarded airspaces of the Zionist regime—stating that Israelis have been driven to “the brink of madness” as an inevitable result. The Zionist regime’s internal security strategy, which relies on eliminating external threats through preemptive strikes to prevent dangers from reaching occupied territories, has shown severe weaknesses and vulnerability.
While the Gaza war has plunged the Zionist regime into its longest conflict yet, Yemeni attacks have pushed Israel into desperation, forcing direct U.S. intervention for its defense. The recent strike exposed critical flaws in Israel’s defenses, proving that after successfully blockading Tel Aviv in the Red Sea, Yemen has now achieved another victory with an aerial siege on Israel.
The article emphasized that the missile strike hit one of Tel Aviv’s most secure and vital locations—Ben Gurion Airport, its sole international gateway—paralyzing Greater Tel Aviv (Gush Dan). Major roads were blocked, heavy traffic ensued, public transport halted, and millions fled to shelters.
Zionist outlet Yedioth Ahronoth reported multiple explosions deep within occupied territories with visible smoke columns near Ben Gurion Airport. Benhas idan, head of airport workers described staff fleeing to shelters after hearing massive explosions near parked aircraft: “Israel was lucky only one plane was airborne.”
Flight Cancellations
Immediately after impact:
- Foreign planes evacuated; inbound flights diverted;
- Major airlines (Lufthansa, Swiss air Austria Air Europa India Canada UK Italy France Brussels Airlines TUS Airways) suspended all flights to occupied territories;
- Tourism industry (already struggling post-Gaza war) suffered another blow as international cancellations stranded travelers endangering domestic/international tourism further.
Failure Of Multi-Layered Defense Systems
A key question among Zionists: how did this missile (leaving a 25-meter crater) bypass their much-touted U.S.-backed air defenses? Despite layered systems like:
- Hetz 1/2/3 (for high-altitude interception);
- David’s Sling (mid-range missiles);
- Iron Dome (short-range threats); plus additional U.S.-supplied Patriot/TAMD systems deployed recently — all failed collectively alongside NATO naval patrols monitoring Mediterranean/Red Seas airspace jointly with allies France/Germany/Britain… Yet failure was admitted officially by Israeli military investigations sparking panic across occupied lands.
U.S.’ Humiliation In Yemen Crisis**
America attempted violent strikes against Yemen ports/airports/military-civilian targets aiming halt attacks but achieved nothing beyond escalating costs including losing seven MQ9 drones + an F18 jet crashing at sea during operations failing even lift blockade eilat port… Meanwhile assessments suggest increased American pressure triggered recent surge drone/missile assaults from Yeminis while ex-Zionist officials debate alternatives like assassinating leaders though admit Lebanon-style solutions unlikely work here given logistical challenges spanning 2000 km distances… Cabinet continues accusing Washington negligence confronting maritime/aerial sieges effectively nonetheless…
