Yemeni army launches large-scale ballistic, drone strikes on occupied territories to support Palestinians
Yemeni Armed Forces have launched large-scale military strikes against Israeli targets in the occupied territories in support of the Palestinian people during their days-long resistance against the illegal entity’s onslaught on the besieged Gaza Strip.
Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the forces' spokesman, said in a statement on Tuesday that the Yemeni army launched a “large batch of ballistic and winged missiles, and a large number of drones” at various targets in the occupied territories.
“The Yemeni Armed Forces confirm that this is the third operation in support of our oppressed brothers in Palestine,” Saree said, adding, “For the 25th day, the world is witnessing what is happening in occupied Palestine and what the Gaza Strip is being exposed to in terms of the brutal Israeli-American aggression, daily massacres, genocide, total destruction, and the stifling siege.”
The spokesman underlined the Palestinian people’s right to self-defense and said the Israeli occupation is the entity that destabilizes the region and promulgates violence.
“We affirm that the position of our Yemeni people towards the Palestinian issue is firm and principled, and that the Palestinian people have the full right to self-defense and to restore their full legitimate rights, and that what destabilizes the region and expands the circle of conflict is the persistence of the Zionist enemy entity in committing crimes,” Saree said.

The prime minister of Yemen’s National Salvation Government also announced on Tuesday the launch of a drone attack by the Ansarullah resistance movement towards Israel’s southern city of Eilat in “retaliation” for the war in Gaza.
The incident triggered air raid sirens in the popular Red Sea tourist resort of Eilat and sent residents running for shelter.
The Israeli military claimed that it had identified a “hostile aircraft intrusion,” and shot down an approaching “aerial target” outside the occupied territories' airspace.
Israel waged a genocidal war on the blockaded Gaza Strip on October 7 after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas conducted Operation al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity.
Since the start of the aggression, the regime has been committing war crimes in Gaza, killing at least 8,525 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring some 21,048 others.
Israel has imposed a “complete siege” on the territory, cutting off fuel, electricity, food and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.
