Armed forces announce targeting Lod Airport in occupied Jaffa
Sana'a - Saba: Triumphing for the oppressed Palestinian people and their dear Mujahideen, and in response to the crimes of genocide and starvation perpetrated by the Zionist enemy against our people in the Gaza in response to the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque by Zionist hordes and their desecration of its holy courtyards. The missile force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a qualitative military operation targeting Lod airport in the occupied Yaffa region, using a "Palestine 2" hypersonic ballistic missile. The operation successfully achieved its goal, thanks to Allah, and caused millions of herds of usurping Zionists to flee to shelters, halting airport operations. Let the enemy and everyone know that our great Yemeni people, with their glorious history, faith-based culture, authentic principles, and deeply rooted values, will continue their faith-based, jihadist stance in support of our oppressed Palestinian people. In this path, they fear no threats, no matter how frequent, and they are unafraid of repercussions, no matter how severe they are. With Allah's help, they will succeed in overcoming all challenges because they are standing up for what is right, responding to Allah and fulfilling their duty—the duty of religion, morality, and human nature. With Gaza until victory, and with Palestine until liberation. Yemen, the great believer and fighter, fears no blame for the sake of Allah. The good end is for the righteous. We will continue our operations until the aggression against Gaza stops and the siege is lifted. Sana'a, Safar 11, 1447 AH August 5, 2025 AD Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (Local)

Israeli Settlers expand outpost in Masafer Yatta, storm Khirbet Samra in Jordan Valley
Occupied Qud – SABA: Israeli settler groups on Monday expanded an illegal outpost established after October 7, 2023, on Palestinian-owned land in the Al-Louza area, south of Khillet al-Daba'a in Masafer Yatta, southern West Bank. Meanwhile, other settlers stormed Khirbet Samra in the northern Jordan Valley. According to Ma'an News Agency, the Israeli military has long classified the Khillet al-Daba'a area as a 'firing zone' and has previously demolished homes, shelters, and caves in the village, forcibly displacing many residents under that pretext. Osama Makhameira, an activist in Masafer Yatta, said Israeli forces confiscated Palestinian land, demolished structures, and later handed the area over to settlers. He added that settler groups were conducting excavations near Palestinian homes in the village of Umm al-Khair, at the same site where settler Yinon Levy killed Palestinian activist Odeh al-Hathaleen last Monday. Levy returned to the same location today to oversee the excavation in what Makhameira called a deliberate provocation. Settlers also released their livestock among Palestinian homes and orchards in the areas of Khirbet al-Qawawees and Shaab al-Butum, intentionally damaging crops and trees. In a related development, armed settlers stormed Khirbet Samra in the northern Jordan Valley on Monday evening under Israeli military protection, triggering panic and fear among local residents. The northern Jordan Valley continues to witness a dangerous escalation in settler attacks on Palestinian villages, backed openly by Israeli occupation forces, compounding the suffering of the local population.
