The Yemeni Armed Forces have carried out a missile strike against a strategic Israeli military position in the northern part of the Negev Desert in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.

Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the spokesperson for the Yemeni military, announced in a statement that the Arab nation’s missile units targeted Nevatim Airbase, located 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) southeast of Beersheba, on Saturday, using a Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile.

He added that the missile strike could successfully attain its desired objectives.

Yemen has significantly scaled up its operations against the Israeli regime, making it a formidable force within the Axis of Resistance against the Israeli-American Axis of Genocide.

Saree also saluted the Yemeni nation for holding mass pro-Palestine rallies across the country on Friday to reaffirm their commitment to their religious, ethical, and humanitarian obligations.

He said the Yemeni forces will step up their retaliatory operations against the Israeli enemy as long as the ongoing aggression on Gaza continues and the siege is not lifted.

Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement has been also targeting ships linked to Israel, the United States, or Britain to force an end to the Tel Aviv regime’s genocidal war on Gaza.

The Yemeni armed forces have said they will not stop their operations until Israel’s ground and aerial offensives in Gaza end.

So far, Israel has killed more than 45,480 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured over 108,000 individuals in Gaza.

Meanwhile, the US and British naval coalition has carried out two airstrikes against strategic sites in Yemen’s northern province of Hajjah.

Yemen’s Arabic-language al-Masirah television channel reported that the aerial raids targeted the installation in the Bahis area in the Midi district.

There was no immediate information about the extent of damage caused, or possible casualties.
