Former Tunisian FM Applauds Yemeni Missile Strike On “Israel”

Former Tunisian Foreign Minister Rafik Abdessalem praised Yemen’s advanced missile capabilities, which successfully penetrated the Israeli enemy’s defense systems, including the American “THAAD” system, heralding a new era of Yemeni technology surpassing advanced Western technology.

In a post on his X (Twitter) account, Abdessalem stated: “It seems that Yemeni technology has triumphed over American technology. From now on, we will read ‘Made in Yemen’ as a symbol of superiority on land and in the skies, alongside ‘Made in China.’”

The Tunisian diplomat attached a screenshot from Al Jazeera Palestine, citing Israel’s Channel 14, which reported: “The American THAAD system failed for the second time in a week to intercept a missile launched from Yemen.”

On Friday, the Yemeni Armed Forces, through their official spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e, confirmed the successful strike on Ben Gurion Airport (Lod Airport) with a hypersonic ballistic missile.

This marks the second time Yemeni forces have launched a hypersonic missile that bypassed all Israeli air defense systems, including the American THAAD, reaching Ben Gurion Airport and disrupting dozens of flights for days to come.
