Yemen announces new pro-Palestinian, anti-American operations
Yemen’s Armed Forces conduct two new operations in support of Palestinian in the Gaza Strip, who are enduring a genocidal Israeli war, and an anti-American operation in response to the US’s aggression against their country.
The forces’ spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced the operations in a video statement on Wednesday.
The first two operations saw the forces targeting two ships that had violated a ban that has been imposed by Sana’a on vessels travelling towards the ports of the occupied Palestinian territories, the official said.
He identified the ships in question as "Roza" and "Vantage Dream," saying they were targeted with “several missiles and drones” while travelling through the Red Sea.
The Yemeni forces have carried out scores of similar pro-Palestinian operations since last October, when the Israeli regime launched the war on Gaza.
At least 36,550 Palestinians have been killed, most of them women and children, and another 82,959 individuals have sustained injuries in the war that began following a retaliatory operation staged by Gaza’s resistance movements. More than 1.7 million people have been internally displaced during the brutal military onslaught as well.
The Yemeni forces “will continue to carry out their military operations in support of the oppressed Palestinian people until the aggression is stopped and the siege on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is lifted,” Saree said, referring to a simultaneous blockade that the Israeli regime has been enforcing on the coastal sliver.
He went on to say that “the third operation targeted the American ship ‘Maersk Seletar’ with several drones in the eastern Arabian Sea.”
American and British forces have been staging various offensives against the Arab Peninsula nation as means of trying to stop its pro-Palestinian operations.
Most recently, American and British warplanes and US warships targeted the western Yemeni provinces of Sana’a, al-Hudaydah, and Ta’izz, killing at least 16 people and wounding more than 40 others.
