Yemen Armed Forces, Iraqi fighters strike Haifa in fresh joint operation
Yemen’s Armed Forces have announced carrying out two fresh anti-Israeli operations in cooperation with Iraq’s Islamic Resistance, an umbrella group of anti-terror fighters.
Brigadier General Yahya Saree, spokesman for the Yemeni forces, announced the operations in a video statement on Sunday.
“The first operation targeted four ships in the Port of Haifa” in the northern part of the occupied Palestinian territories, he said.
Saree described the targeted vessels as “two cement carriers and two general cargo ships.”
“The second operation targeted the ship ‘Shorthorn Express’ in the Mediterranean Sea [as it was] on its way to Haifa,” he added.
Both operations were carried out using “several drones,” the spokesman said, adding that the strikes “successfully achieved their objectives, with precise and direct hits.”
The Armed Forces and the Iraqi fighters have been staging numerous anti-Israeli strikes, either separately or in cooperation with one another, since last October, when the Israeli regime began a genocidal war against the Gaza Strip.
Around 37,600 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have died as a result of the war that began following a retaliatory operation carried out by Gaza’s resistance groups.
The Iraqi Resistance’s anti-Israeli strikes have been mainly aimed at targets lying across the occupied territories.
The Yemeni forces have, however, expanded their strikes to include vessels that head towards the ports of those territories.
Saree concluded his remarks by asserting that the Yemeni forces would keep up their strikes, including the ones that are jointly conducted with the Iraqi resistance, as long as the Israeli regime sustained the brutal military onslaught and a simultaneous siege that it has been enforcing against Gaza.
