The Houthis announce a complete naval ban on occupation ships in the Red Sea

On Monday  , June 8, the Ansar Allah group "Houthi" announced a complete naval ban on the Israeli occupation in the Red Sea, stressing that all its naval movements have become military targets as of the moment the decision was announced.

In a statement issued by its military spokesman, Yahya Saree, the group said that it had fired a batch of rockets that targeted "sensitive targets" in the Jaffa area and that the attack had achieved its objectives "accurately."

It added that the decision comes in response to the "Israeli aggression" against Iran, Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, and within the framework of what it called "the unity of the squares" and coordination with the forces of the "axis of resistance."

The group stressed that it will face "escalation by escalation", noting that its military operations will continue at an escalating pace in line with the developments of the regional confrontation.

It stressed that its operations will continue as long as the "aggression and siege" against Yemen and its allies in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran and Iraq continues, considering that the attempts of Israel and the United States "will fail."

 

Navigation halted at Ben Gurion Airport

Israel's  Channel 12  confirmed that the Houthi group in Yemen fired ballistic missiles towards the center of occupied Palestine, after sirens sounded in Tel Aviv and other areas.

The  channel explained that the attack is the first from Yemen since the ceasefire that came into effect on April 8, noting that the Houthi missiles stopped work at Ben Gurion Airport, for the second time in one night, after Iranian missiles targeted several sites in occupied Palestine.

In addition, the Israeli Home Front reported that "sirens  sounded this morning in the greater Tel Aviv area in central and southern Israel after the detection of rockets from Yemen."

The Israeli army has previously announced  that a missile was fired from Yemen towards the Palestinian territories and that "defense systems are working to intercept it."

 

Israel says it has bombed air defense systems in Iran

Earlier, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps confirmed that "the Zionist enemy launched an attack on targets inside our territory using air-launched ballistic missiles," according to the Iranian News Agency.

The Israeli army announced that "the air force targeted military sites belonging to the Iranian regime in western and central Iran," while Waqf Walla reported that "the Israeli air force targeted more than 10 sites, including air defense systems and ballistic missiles in Iran."

This comes hours after the Iranian attack on northern Israel, in response to the Israeli attack on the southern suburbs of Beirut on Sunday, where the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that it had targeted the Ramat David air base with ballistic missiles.
