YAF, Iraqi Resistance Attack Vital Israeli Sites in Southern Palestine
The Yemeni Armed Forces affirm that any escalation by "Israel" and the United States against Yemen "will be met with a proportional response."
The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF), in coordination with the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, carried out a top-tier military operation targeting vital Israeli sites in southern occupied Palestine using several drones, spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced on Friday.
Separately, the YAF’s Unmanned Air Force executed a top-tier military operation targeting an Israeli military site in occupied Yafa also with a drone, Saree added.
The spokesperson confirmed that the two attacks successfully achieved their targets, reiterating that the operations were “in solidarity with the oppressed Palestinian people and its Resistance fighters and in response to the massacres committed against our brothers in Gaza.”
The YAF affirmed that any escalation by “Israel” and the United States against Yemen “will be met with a proportional response,” Saree said, warning that the YAF “will not hesitate to target the vital facilities of the Israeli enemy, as well as the American military movements that threaten Yemen.”
He asserted that the ongoing crimes against Gaza would only lead to further strikes by the YAF and the Islamic Resistance in Iraq against “Israel”.
Elsewhere, Saree reiterated that these operations will not cease until the Israeli aggression on Gaza stops and the siege imposed on the Strip is lifted.
His announcement comes a day after dozens of Israeli Air Force warplanes attacked strategic targets in Yemen, specifically in Hodeidah, and for the first time, in the suburbs of the capital, Sanaa.
At least nine people were killed and several others were injured as a result of the aggression that coincided with a top-tier military operation carried out by the missile unit of the Yemeni Armed Forces against two Israeli sensitive and strategic military targets in the occupied Yafa (Tel Aviv) region using two Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missiles.
Later, the leader of the Ansar Allah movement in Yemen, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, confirmed that one of the missiles was aimed at the Israeli Ministry of Security, timed with the Israeli airstrike on Yemen, causing significant confusion for the occupation forces and disrupting their mission.
Million-man marches in support of Gaza continue in Yemen
On Friday, millions of Yemenis took part in weekly rallies in solidarity with Gaza, gathering in Sanaa and several provinces and districts.
In a statement, the rallies emphasized their unwavering commitment to the struggle, marked by steadfastness and patience, in support of the Palestinian people and in defense of Yemen.
The Yemeni rallies praised the continued top-tier operations by the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza, calling on the Arab and Islamic nations to join the support fronts and activate all capabilities and resources to aid Palestine.
The rallies declared a clear and explicit challenge to “Israel” and its American backers, affirming their readiness to confront any conspiracies targeting their stance and their full preparedness to make the necessary sacrifices in this battle.
