The Yemeni army Trajectory missile Israeli forces attacked the port city of Eilat in the Israeli-occupied south and American and Israeli-owned ships in the Red Sea in the regime’s latest attack on Arab countries.
Military spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Salih said in a statement on Sunday that the army “conducted a special military operation using a number of ballistic missiles against key targets in the Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat) region, which successfully achieved its objectives.”
Salih also said that the Yemeni military’s naval and missile forces carried out a joint military operation in the Red Sea targeting the American ship “Pumba” with a number of ballistic missiles and drones.
“The Yemeni army asserts its full right to defend its beloved Yemen against US, British and Israeli aggression, and this aggression will not make great Yemen weaken in its steadfast stance against the oppression of the Palestinian people,” the spokesman said.
Salih stressed that Yemeni forces will continue their naval operations against Israeli, American and British ships or those heading to Israeli ports until the regime’s aggression stops and the blockade against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip is lifted.
“The Yemeni army recognizes that a counterattack against Israeli aggression against our country is inevitable and will be massive and spectacular,” he asserted.
Israeli warplanes struck a civilian facility in Yemen’s western Hodeidah province on Saturday, killing three people and wounding more than 80.
The administration said it carried out the attack in retaliation for hundreds of operations carried out by Yemeni forces against occupied Palestinian territory and Israeli interests in support of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, who are enduring a genocidal war between Israel and the United States.
In a bold attack on Friday, Yemeni forces launched a drone attack near the U.S. consulate compound in Tel Aviv early Friday, killing one person and wounding 10 others after Israeli air defenses failed to intercept the unmanned aerial vehicle.
Yemen has been targeting Israeli ships and vessels belonging to the occupied territories and the illegal regime since October 7, 2023, when Tel Aviv launched its genocidal war against the Gaza Strip.
They have vowed to continue the operation as long as the regime continues the war and simultaneous siege it is conducting on the Palestinian territories.
Israel’s onslaught on Gaza has so far killed 38,919 Palestinians, many of them women and children, and injured a further 89,622.
