SANA’A (Dispatches) --
 Yemen’s armed forces on Friday fired a hypersonic ballistic missile and a drone at the city of Yaffa near Tel Aviv, say they struck their intended target with accuracy.
A Palestine-2 projectile and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) were used in the operation, the Yemeni military said in a statement.
“The missile force of the Yemeni armed forces carried out a military operation targeting an enemy-linked power station east of the occupied area of Yaffa, using a hypersonic ballistic missile, type ‘Palestine 2,’” the statement said. “It (the missile) has successfully hit its target.” 
“The UAVs force of the Yemeni armed forces also carried out a military operation targeting a military target in the occupied area Yaffa, using a ‘Yaffa’ drone, and it achieved its target successfully,” the statement said.
The operation was in response to the Israeli massacre Gazans, and came within “the fifth phase of the supportive stages in the battle of the Promised Conquest and the Holy Jihad (Struggle) and in retaliation to the aggression against our country”, it said.
Yemeni troops began launching their operations against Israeli targets last October in support of the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.
Earlier Friday, Yemeni forces launched a missile attack, triggering air raid sirens in the center and south of the Israeli occupied territories.
Israel’s military claimed that the missile “was intercepted”, citing reports about shrapnel from the interception that fell in the area of Modi’in. However, a video shared on social media showed the missile fired from Yemen hitting an Israeli target.
Israel’s emergency service provider, Magen David Adom, reported that 12 people required treatment for injuries sustained in the rush to bomb shelters and nine suffered anxiety attacks.
Yemen’s National Salvation Government

 warned the United States and the Zionist regime over the dire consequences of continuing their aggression against the Arab nation.
“The Yemeni people have entered into direct confrontation against its adversaries today, and we tell them they are welcome to the great hell,” Zaid al-Gharsi, director of the Media and Cultural Affairs Department in Sana’a, said on Friday.
Gharsi said the U.S. and the Zionist regime’s escalation against Yemen aims to stop its pro-Palestinian operations, warning that the country would not stop short of supporting Palestine even if the confrontation were to increase in scale.
“If the enemy thinks that it would stop Yemen by targeting its infrastructures, we say that it is suffering from an illusion,” the official noted.
“We are in a state of readiness, and have prepared ourselves for all possible scenarios.”
Gharsi said the enemies’ strikes on Yemen’s infrastructures indicate their weakness.
