Yemeni army hits Israeli ship, regime’s military targets in support of Palestine
The Yemeni Armed Forces have carried out new anti-Israel operations, hitting an Israeli ship in nearby waters and a number of the regime’s military targets in the occupied territories.
The Yemeni army’s spokesman, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, made the announcement in a Sunday statement, saying that the new operations came in retaliation for the massacre of Palestinian people in the al-Mawasi refugee camp in the southern Gaza Strip city of Khan Yunis.
On Saturday, the Israeli military attacked a designated humanitarian safe zone at the al-Mawasi camp, killing at least 90 Palestinians and wounding 300 others. The attack was the deadliest in Gaza for weeks.
Israel said the target of the attack in al-Mawasi was the senior military commander of Hamas resistance movement, Mohammed Deif. Hamas rejected the premise of the assault as “false,” saying “defenseless civilians” were killed in the airstrike.
“The naval forces, UAV, and the missile forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a joint operation targeting the Israeli ship, MSC UNIFIC, in the Gulf of Aden, with a number of ballistic missiles and drones,” the Yemeni army spokesman said in his statement.
Saree added that during the second operation “the UAV Force carried out an operation against a number of military targets of the Israeli enemy in the Umm al-Rashrash area, south of the occupied Palestine, with a number of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and the operation successfully achieved its objectives.”
He warned that “the operations of the Yemeni Armed Forces will not stop unless the [Israeli] aggression stops and the siege imposed on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is lifted.”
The Yemeni army spokesman also called on “all Arab and Islamic armies to perform their religious, moral and humanitarian duty towards the Palestinian people” by carrying out joint military operations in support of the oppressed Palestinians.
Ever since the onset of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza early last October, the Yemeni forces have carried out scores of operations in support of the war-hit Gazans, striking targets throughout the occupied Palestinian territories, in addition to targeting Israeli ships or vessels heading towards ports in the occupied territories.
The regime’s bloody onslaught on Gaza has so far killed 38,584 Palestinians, mostly women and children, leaving 88,881 others injured.
