Israel fears Ansarullah retaliation following joint US-British airstrikes in Yemen: Media
A new report has revealed that the Israeli regime's so-called security service is on high alert as fears mount over Yemen’s Ansarullah popular resistance movement launching an attack in retaliation for US-British-Israeli joint airstrikes on the Arab country.
In a report on Saturday, Israeli Channel 12 said that “The Israeli security system is in a heightened state of alert due to anticipated Ansarullah retaliation” after US, British and Israeli warplanes carried out a string of airstrikes against various targets across Yemen a day earlier.
The report said that there are “genuine fears” that Ansarullah may attempt to respond to the joint assault in the coming hours.
The joint operation marked “the fifth such attack” on Ansarullah targets since the start of the war on Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023, it claimed.
On Friday, Yemen’s al-Masirah television network said Israeli-American-British aircraft had hit the Amran Province, north of Sana’a.
According to the network, the targets included some areas around the Harf Sufyan District in the province, which were attacked on 12 occasions.
It also reported that the aggressors had targeted the Ra’s Isa Port and the al-Hudaydah Port in western Yemen in several cases.
The joint operation came after Yemen’s armed forces said they had conducted retaliatory strikes against an American aircraft carrier and several other US warships in response to Washington’s support for the Israeli regime’s war of genocide against the Gaza Strip.
In a statement on Friday, the forces said they had targeted the vessels, including the American aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman, in the northern part of the Red Sea over the previous 48 hours, using cruise missiles and explosive-laden drones.
The Yemeni troops began launching their operations against Israeli targets in October 2023 in support of Gaza and Lebanon, which have respectively come under the genocidal war and escalated deadly assaults by the Israeli regime.
The successful strikes were both preceded and followed by intensified deadly aggression by the regime, the United States, its biggest ally, and the United Kingdom against the Yemeni territory.
The forces have been responding by ramping up their strikes against strategic and sensitive Israeli and American targets, including the US warships and aircraft carriers that are deployed off Yemen’s coastline.
