Yemeni armed forces have launched a missile at a strategic position within the Israeli-occupied territories, reaffirming their solidarity with the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip amid the Tel Aviv regime’s bloody military campaign against the besieged coastal sliver.

Hebrew-language media outlets, citing an Israeli military statement, alleged that the missile was intercepted and shot down on Saturday morning before crossing into the occupied lands.

Houthi: Gaza ‘testing ground’ for prohibited US, Israeli weapons

The leader of the Yemeni Ansarullah resistance movement says Israel and its closest ally, the United States, have turned the besieged Gaza Strip into a “testing ground” for their prohibited weapons.

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, 2023, after the territory’s resistance movements carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity.

The Yemeni armed forces have said they will not stop their attacks until Israel’s ground and aerial offensives in Gaza end.

So far, Israel has killed at least 44,612 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 105,834 others in Gaza.

Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement maintains that it targets ships linked to Israel, the United States, or the United Kingdom to force an end to the Tel Aviv regime’s genocidal war on Gaza.

In October, the US military unleashed B-2 stealth bombers to bomb Yemen in support of Israel.
