Yemeni armed forces praise Hezbollah strikes, vow to attack Israel
Yemeni armed forces have praised a large drone and rocket attack by the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement against Israel, saying their own attack is "inevitably coming."
Hezbollah on Sunday fired barrages of rockets and drones towards targets lying in the northern part of the occupied Palestinian territories in retaliation for Israel’s assassination of a senior military commander of the resistance group last month.
Hezbollah said in a statement that it had conducted the operation “as part of the initial response” to Israel’s assassination of Fuad Shukr, a senior military commander of the resistance group, in the Lebanese capital of Beirut on July 30.
In a statement on Sunday, the political bureau of Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement congratulated Hezbollah and its Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on the “large and courageous attack” and a "strong and effective response" against Israel.
It added that the powerful response reaffirms that the “resistance is capable, steadfast, and sincere in its promises and threats.”
The Yemeni armed forces renewed their promise to launch their own attacks against Israel in response to the regime’s airstrikes against Yemen's strategic western province of Hudaydah in July.
"We reaffirm once again that the Yemeni response is inevitably coming, and the coming days and nights and the battlefield will prove this," the statement said.
Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari said on July 20 that Israeli fighter jets attacked military targets in Hudaydah. He said the airstrikes were in response to the hundreds of attacks against Israel in recent months.
Ansarullah has already said it was "prepared for any Israeli response" to the strike.
Yemenis have declared their open support for Palestine’s struggle against the Israeli occupation since the regime launched the campaign of genocide in Gaza on October 7.
