Huthi rebels target Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv

The spokesperson for the Huthi military, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced on Wednesday that Huthi forces had launched an attack on the Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv with a hypersonic ballistic missile, according to international media reports.
Saree added that the operation successfully achieved its goal, causing millions to flee to shelters and halting airport operations. He confirmed that the drone air force carried out three operations against sensitive targets in Jaffa, Ashkelon, and Umm al-Rashrash.
He explained that the Yemeni Armed Forces will continue their operations in protest against the genocide in Gaza.
Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz vowed to respond to the attack, after the Israeli military intercepted a missile fired from Yemen toward Israel.
'The fate of Yemen is the fate of Tehran,' Katz said in a statement, referring to the 12-day conflict last month in which Israel targeted Iran's nuclear and missile programs.
He continued: 'After we struck the head of the snake in Tehran, we will target the Huthis in Yemen as well. Whoever raises a hand against Israel will have their hand cut off.'

Egypt condemns Israel's statements on West Bank annexation, cites international law violations

Egypt on Wednesday expressed its harsh rejection of recent statements by several Israeli officials regarding the imposition of Israel's sovereignty over the occupied West Bank. The latest of these was a statement by the Israeli Minister of Justice explicitly calling for the annexation of Palestinian lands. In an official statement released by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Cairo affirmed that these declarations are a flagrant violation of international legitimacy and relevant UN Security Council resolutions. Egypt noted that such statements aim to legitimize Israel's illegal occupation and undermine opportunities for achieving a just and comprehensive peace. Any attempts to impose a 'fait accompli' policy through settlement expansion and illegal annexation are a serious infringement on the rights of the Palestinian people, the statement emphasized. They also undermine the foundations of the two-state solution, including the Palestinians' right to establish their independent state on the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. Egypt further condemned the escalating Israeli violations in the occupied West Bank, which include military incursions, arbitrary arrests, and illegal settlement expansion. The ministry highlighted that these practices coincide with the 'bloody aggression' endured by the Gaza Strip, which threatens the very fabric of life there. Finally, Egypt called upon the international community to shoulder its legal and moral responsibilities and act immediately to halt the grave violations faced by the Palestinian people. The statement underscored the necessity of concerted international efforts to support the legitimate aspirations of Palestinians, foremost among them the establishment of their independent state on their entire national territory.

OPEN// Egypt decries Israeli statements on imposing sovereignty over occupied West Bank

CAIRO, July 2 (MENA) - Egypt condemned recent statements by Israeli officials calling for the annexation of the occupied West Bank, the most recent of which was issued by Israeli Minister of Justice Yariv Levin. In a statement issued Wednesday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigration reaffirmed Egypt's categorical rejection of these statements, describing them as flagrant violations of international law that seek to entrench the unlawful occupation of Palestinian territory and undermine the Palestinian people's right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent state along the June 4, 1967 borders, including the West Bank, Gaza Strip with Al Quds (occupied East Jerusalem) as its capital. Egypt reaffirmed its rejection of the ongoing and flagrant Israeli violations in the West Bank, including military incursions, arbitrary arrests, and the continued expansion of illegal settlements, which are taking place in parallel with the grave breaches occurring in the Gaza Strip, aimed at dismantling the very foundations of life for the steadfast Palestinian people. Egypt urged the international community to take immediate and resolute action to halt these flagrant violations against the Palestinian people on their own land, the statement said. It also stressed the urgent need for concerted international efforts to realize the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people, topped by the establishment of an independent state on the entirety of their national territory.
