Yemen’s armed forces say they have successfully carried out an operation against an Israeli military target within the occupied territories, in solidarity with Palestinians amid the Tel Aviv regime’s ongoing genocidal war in the besieged Gaza Strip.

In a statement on Tuesday, the country’s forces said they have struck an Israeli military site in the occupied area of Yaffa, using a Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile, adding that the operation successfully achieved its objective.

The statement further noted that Yemeni armed forces are fully prepared to confront the Israeli-American-British aggression, stressing that they will continue their military operations in support of Palestinians in Gaza until the aggression is ended and the siege on the blockaded territory is lifted.

Yemeni forces have markedly intensified their pro-Palestinian strikes against the occupied territories and other Israeli targets in recent weeks.

On Monday, the country’s drone unit carried out an operation against an Israeli military target in the city of Asqalan, located 50 kilometers south of Tel Aviv, using a homegrown and long-range Yaffa kamikaze drone.

Also on Saturday, at least 20 Israeli settlers were injured after a Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile launched from Yemen struck Tel Aviv’s southern Jaffa area.

Since the onset of Israel’s campaign of genocide in the Gaza Strip, the Yemeni forces have taken measures to assert their support for the Palestinian resistance in Gaza, targeting Israeli vessels in the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.

Additionally, the Yemeni armed forces have launched several missile and drone attacks against Israeli-occupied territories, particularly focusing on Tel Aviv.  They have pledged to continue these operations as long as Israel maintains its assaults on Gaza, signaling a potential for further escalation in the region.

In October, the US military unleashed B-2 stealth bombers to bomb Yemen in support of Israel. Since then, attacks against Yemen from Israel, the US and the UK have continued in a bid to halt the retaliatory attacks by Sana'a.
