Yemen Strikes Tel Aviv: US Warships on High Alert Amid Escalating Tensions
In light of the recent surge in U.S. military actions in Yemen, the Arab nation has demonstrated its resilience and commitment to its cause. Just hours after targeting U.S. naval forces, Yemeni forces executed a military operation against Israeli positions in Tel Aviv, highlighting their strong support for Palestine.
The Yemeni Armed Forces announced that their drone unit successfully conducted a precision strike on two Israeli military targets in Tel Aviv using their domestically-manufactured Jaffa-type drones. This operation underscores Yemen’s dedication to its regional alliances and the Palestinian struggle.
Brigadier General Yahya Saree, spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, emphasized their determination by stating, “The ongoing American aggression against Yemen will not deter us from fulfilling our duty to the steadfast people of Gaza until the attacks end and the siege is lifted.” This statement reflects the unwavering commitment of Yemeni forces to defend the Palestinian cause amidst ongoing conflicts.
The Yemeni Armed Forces have reaffirmed their readiness to face any escalation, reiterating that their military operations “will only stop when the aggression ends and the blockade on Gaza is lifted.” This conveys a strong message of solidarity and determination in the face of adversity.
Earlier, Yemeni forces targeted the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman and several hostile warships in the northern Red Sea using cruise missiles and drones. According to Saree, these strikes serve as a direct response to American aggression against Yemen, showcasing a profound solidarity with the oppressed people of Palestine.
On Thursday, Ansarallah leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi stated, “The Americans have not and will never be able to weaken our military capabilities.” This assertion underscores Yemen’s strategic position, which holds significant economic, security, military, and strategic implications for the Israeli regime, causing concern among its adversaries.
Meanwhile, the situation has escalated with continued U.S. support for the Israeli occupation. American warplanes recently launched a series of airstrikes on Yemen, targeting key areas such as Sanaa, Marib, and Hodeidah. In the latest wave of attacks, over 14 airstrikes hit residential areas in the capital, causing extensive damage. Additionally, eleven more airstrikes struck Marib province, resulting in the destruction of numerous civilian homes.
As the bombing campaign persists, Mohammed Abdul Salam, head of Yemen’s National Delegation for Negotiations, condemned the American attacks as a failure. He stated that these strikes have only served to inflict humanitarian suffering on civilians and damage vital infrastructure. Abdul Salam expressed that the U.S. campaign is a blatant crime against the Yemeni people, asserting that such atrocities will only strengthen their resolve to pursue their just and legitimate cause.
He further noted that nearly a month into the aggression, millions of Yemenis have taken to the streets in Sanaa and other provinces, showcasing a powerful display of defiance against the attacks and reaffirming their solidarity with Gaza. Abdul Salam dismissed U.S. claims that the strikes aim to ensure maritime navigation security in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandeb, labeling them as “false, misleading, and completely unfounded.”
According to Abdul Salam, the true objective of the American campaign is to safeguard the Israeli occupation regime and facilitate its ongoing actions against Palestinians in Gaza. He emphasized that the Yemeni people, along with all free individuals worldwide, recognize the U.S. role as one that enables Israeli crimes, lacking genuine concern for international maritime security.
In conclusion, Abdul Salam articulated that the real threat to global maritime routes stems from the U.S. militarization of international waterways, aimed at ensuring Israeli security at the expense of regional stability.
On Friday, massive rallies erupted in Sanaa and hundreds of other locations across multiple provinces, demonstrating unwavering solidarity with Gaza and full support for the Yemeni Armed Forces’ operations in defense of Palestine. These demonstrations signify a collective commitment to the cause and reflect the spirit of resilience among the Yemeni people.
