In response to Israel's escalating aggression and expanded military operations in Gaza, the Yemeni Armed Forces have declared a full air blockade on Israel," YAF spokesperson Brigadier General Yehya Saree said in a statement.

"The Yemeni Armed Forces will enforce the aerial blockade by repeatedly attacking airports, with Ben Gurion Airport, known as Lod Airport in Israel, as their primary target," he emphasized.

The statement called on all international airlines to take this threat seriously from the moment of its issuance and cancel all flights to Israeli airports to preserve the safety of their aircraft and passengers.

During the brief ceasefire that started in January of this year, Yemen halted all attacks on Israel and paused its blockade on Israeli ships and those heading to Israel. Yemen has proven that if the genocide and blockade stops they will stop.
