Yemeni forces strike Israeli targets in Eilat, Tel Aviv using combat drones: Spokesman

The spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces says the country’s aerospace units have conducted two operations against strategic positions in the Israeli-occupied territories in retaliation for the Tel Aviv regime’s ongoing atrocities in the Gaza Strip and its unrelenting strikes across Lebanon.

Brigadier General Yahya Saree said in a televised address on Tuesday morning that Yemeni forces struck a vital target near the coastal city of Tel Aviv, using a homegrown and long-range Yafa kamikaze drone.

They also pounded military installations at the Port of Eilat in the southernmost part of the occupied lands with four domestically-developed Sammad-4 (Invincible-4) combat drones.

The Yemeni spokesman said both operations successfully achieved their desired objectives.

He noted that Yemeni Armed Forces salute resilient Palestinian and Lebanese resistance fighters as they are defending their nations and confronting the US-backed Israeli aggression, and reaffirm their practical support for Palestine and Lebanon until Israel is defeated and all its criminal plots and expansionist conspiracies are thwarted.

The Yemeni army calls upon all Arab and Islamic nations to break their silence and participate actively in this fateful battle, as the first anniversary of the beginning of the Gaza war is approaching, he said.

"We will continue our struggle with God’s help until the promised victory is achieved," Saree concluded.

Yemenis have declared their open support for Palestine’s struggle against the Israeli occupation since the regime launched a devastating war on Gaza on October 7 last year, killing at least 41,615 Palestinians to date. 

The Yemeni Armed Forces have said that they won’t stop their attacks until Israeli ground and aerial attacks in Gaza end.

Israel launched its brutal campaign of genocide in Gaza after Palestinian resistance groups conducted a surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm into the occupied territories.

The regime has had in place a near-total siege on the coastal territory, which has reduced to a trickle the flow of foodstuffs, medicine, electricity, and water into the Palestinian territory.

Leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement Abdul-Malik al-Houthi has said it is “a great honor and blessing to be confronting America directly.”
