Beirut: The Yemeni Armed Forces have announced a series of military operations targeting key Israeli and U.S. military assets in retaliation for perceived aggression and in support of the Palestinian people in Gaza. According to a statement released by the Yemeni forces, the operations are a response to what they describe as the genocide being committed by Israel against Palestinians, with the support of the United States.
According to National News Agency - Lebanon, the Yemeni forces carried out two distinct operations against Israeli targets. The first operation targeted a crucial site in the occupied Ashkelon area using a Yaffa drone. The second operation focused on an Israeli military installation in the Umm al-Rashrash area in southern occupied Palestine, deploying a Sammad-1 drone for the mission.
In a separate act of retaliation against American military actions in Yemen, particularly following a deadly incident in Sana'a, the Yemeni Armed Forces attacked U.S. naval assets. The first operation targeted the aircraft carrier Truman and its support vessels in the northern Red Sea using two cruise missiles and two drones. A subsequent operation involved Yemeni naval, UAV, and missile forces targeting the aircraft carrier Vinson and its affiliated vessels in the Arabian Sea with three cruise missiles and four drones.
The Yemeni Armed Forces claim that all operations were successful in achieving their objectives. They have vowed to continue escalating their military efforts against the Israeli occupation in Palestine and to maintain pressure on U.S. military forces in the Red and Arabian Seas. The forces have expressed a steadfast commitment to supporting the Palestinian cause until the aggression ceases and the siege on Gaza is lifted.
