Yemeni Armed Forces Target U.S. Tanker in Red Sea
The spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF), Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced Tuesday that the YAF Navy targeted the American oil tanker MADO in the Red Sea using appropriate naval missiles.
“Our forces fired several winged missiles at Israeli targets in the Umm al-Rashrash region in southern occupied Palestine,” he added.
He stressed that these operations come in support of the Palestinian people, who are still facing Israeli aggression and siege, and in response to the US and British aggression on Yemen.
Saree reiterated that the YAF’s military operations will not cease until the Israeli aggression on Gaza stops and the blockade imposed on the Palestinian people in the Strip is lifted.
It is noteworthy that the operations of the YAF against Israeli and Israeli-bound ships — carried out in support of the people of Gaza until the Israeli aggression on the Strip ceases — have forced some companies to take alternative routes including a two-week detour around the tip of southern Africa.
The YAF reiterated that they only target clear and specific objectives to confront the Israeli enemy. However, they expanded their targets to include American and British forces following their involvement in aggression against Yemen, stressing that no other countries are being targeted by the YAF.
Al-Houthi: Our ops. hit Indian Ocean, to be expanded to Cape Route
The Yemeni Armed Forces are heading toward expanding the scope of their operations conducted against the Israeli occupation forces’ war on the Gaza Strip, the leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul al-Malik al-Houthi, declared on March 14.
Avoiding missile and drone attacks from the Yemeni Navy in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea, ships heading toward Israeli-occupied ports have opted for the longer route of circling the African continent, paralyzing the Israeli-occupied port in Um al-Rashrash or “Eilat”.
Sayyed al-Houthi’s announcement will reverberate across global politics, as he underlined that the YAF is heading toward launching attacks on vessels in the Indian Ocean that have been redirected toward the Cape of Good Hope Route, following attacks on merchant and military vessels affiliated with the tripartite Alliance of Evil of the United States, the United Kingdom, and “Israel”.
“Our Yemeni Armed Forces will carry on the Battle of the Promised Conquest and Holy Jihad in support of the Palestinian people in Gaza,” the leader of the Ansar Allah emphasized on Thursday.
“Operations targeting Israeli-affiliated vessels and ships affiliated with the American and British sides are ongoing with high effectiveness,” he revealed.
