Pro-Saudi official urges Israel to assist in fight against Yemen's Ansarullah

A senior official from the so-called Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council, which is backed by Saudi Arabia, has called on Israel for military assistance in combating Ansarullah allied with Yemen's National Salvation Government and its armed forces.

The pro-Saudi official who is said to be affiliated with the so-called Presidential Leadership Council (PLC), an umbrella group of heavily-armed Takfiri militants, made the remarks in a recent interview with Israel Hayom newspaper. 

The unnamed “high-ranking” official urged the occupying entity to provide advanced weaponry to counter escalating operations by the Yemeni army and its allied Ansarullah popular resistance forces, including a hypersonic missile strike on Tel Aviv on Sunday.

Despite attempts by the US and its allies to counter the Yemeni armed forces, the pro-Saudi official dismissed President Joe Biden and his administration's campaign in the Red Sea as “largely ineffective and lacking focus.” 

The pro-Saudi official stressed the importance of overwhelming force, saying: “ It’s high time the global community shakes off its complacency and backs our troops on the ground.”

Ballistic missile lands deep inside occupied Palestine amid Iron Dome’s failure

The Israeli military claims that a ballistic missile launched from Yemen has targeted the central areas in the occupied territories after the regime’s Iron Dome system failed to repel the attack.

Yemeni forces recently struck an Israeli target near Tel Aviv with a new hypersonic ballistic missile as the occupying regime failed to repel the attack and intercept the long-range advanced projectile.

Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the Yemeni army’s spokesman, announced in a brief televised statement on Sunday that the missile force in the military had carried out a qualitative operation striking a military target of the Israeli enemy in the Jaffa area, south of Tel Aviv, in occupied Palestine.

The Ansarullah-allied military, who has also been stepping up naval operations in the Red Sea and other strategic waterways to pressure an end to the Israeli war on Gaza, continues to pose a threat to the occupation entity and its Western allies.

After unveiling the ‘Palestine 2’ hypersonic missile used in the operation on Tel Aviv, the Sanaa government’s Supreme Political Council member Abdulaziz Bin Habtour warned Israel of more attacks. 

“The Zionist enemy should expect many military operations, coming by land, air and sea.”

Yemen time and again has vowed to keep up its pro-Palestinian operations in protest at the Israeli regime's ongoing genocidal war against the Gaza Strip.

Yemen’s Armed Forces have been carrying out numerous strikes against the occupied Palestinian territories since October 7, when the regime began the war on Gaza, which has so far claimed the lives of about 41,300 Palestinians, mostly women and children.

The forces have also been targeting Israeli ships and vessels heading towards or away from the territories as a means of trying to force the regime into stopping the brutal military onslaught and a siege that it has been simultaneously imposing on Gaza.

Yemen targets another ship in latest anti-Israel operation

Yemen’s Army says they have attacked another ship in waters around the country in a continuation of operations retaliating against the Israeli genocide in Gaza.

The Saudi Arabia-led coalition launched the devastating war on Yemen in March 2015 in collaboration with its Arab allies and with arms and logistics support from the US and other Western states.

The objective was to reinstall the unpopular, West-friendly regime of Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi and crush the popular Ansarullah resistance movement, which has been running state affairs in the absence of a functional government in Yemen.

The foreign aggressors have failed to meet their goals, despite killing hundreds of thousands of Yemeni civilians and spawning what has been described as the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.

The Saudi-led coalition announced in 2022 that it would cease all hostilities within Yemen to facilitate political talks.
