In a televised statement on Sunday, Yemeni military spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree confirmed that the strike was carried out with a hypersonic missile dubbed “Palestine-2.”

“The operation successfully achieved its objective,” Saree said, adding that the attack triggered air raid sirens, disrupted flights, and “halted airport activity” in the occupied territories.

The Yemeni spokesman said the strike was part of a wider campaign in response to Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, now in its 22nd month, and in retaliation for Israeli air raids on Yemen.

      because most nations in the region are ruled by american sponsored puppets, the people do support Palestine but they live in oligarchies, which is why you’ll see from time to time these gulf monarchies pay some lip service to Palestine to appease the population but not do anything about it.
