News - Yemen: The recent 72-hour Yemeni military operation once again demonstrated that American destroyers and ships have become vulnerable targets for the Yemeni Armed Forces, an expert and military analyst stated.

He emphasized that the execution of five distinct military operations underscores the significant capability of the Yemeni Armed Forces to engage in long-range combat operations deep within the Indian Ocean, Red Sea, and Arabian Sea. This sends a clear message that any attempt by the enemy or the Americans to intercept Yemeni missiles is doomed to fail.

He stressed that the Yemeni Armed Forces now possess the military capacity to strike deep into enemy territory and neutralize advanced weaponry from America, Israel, and Britain.

He asserted that the United States faces a major challenge after Yemeni forces successfully imposed a complete blockade on the "axis of evil" in a critical region and the world's most vital maritime passage and strait. Additionally, he stressed the ongoing Yemeni military operations with heightened intensity in response to the enemy's continued unjust aggression against the Palestinian people.

On his part, the military expert, Brigadier General Khalid Ghurab, stated that the Yemeni Armed Forces targeted American frigates, two Israeli ships, and a British vessel. He highlighted that the operational theater extends geographically from the Red Sea to the Arabian Sea to the Indian Ocean, showcasing the effectiveness and escalation of Yemeni capabilities while exposing the failures of the enemy.

Political analyst Abdulwahab Saif Al-Haddi interpreted these military operations by the Yemeni Armed Forces as a direct response to the US claim that it had undermined Yemeni operations supporting the Palestinian people and resistance in the Red Sea, Arabian Sea, and Indian Ocean. It serves as a strong counter against American and British aggressive actions on Yemeni soil.

Al-Haddi emphasized that Yemen's military operations serve as a warning to all European countries considering involvement in aggression against Yemen or violating its national sovereignty. He dismissed claims made by America and Britain as mere media fabrications, asserting that maritime sovereignty and navigation rights in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea belong to Yemen, not to criminal entities.

He added that these operations reassure the Palestinian people and resistance that the Yemeni Armed Forces continue to impose a blockade on Israeli ships in support of the oppressed brethren in Gaza.

The announcement of five military operations within 72 hours by the Armed Forces garnered significant attention from political, media, and military activists on social media platforms. Palestinian media activist Khalil Nasrallah highlighted the coordinated operations targeting a British ship, two Israeli ships, and two American frigates, indicating the growing capability and accumulating failures of the Americans.

Yemeni media activist Abdulqader Othman underscored the impact of these operations on the Zionist entity, causing tremors as the Palestinian resistance intensifies its actions and inflicts heavy losses on the occupation army. He noted that the ongoing naval blockade across the Red Sea, Arabian Sea, and Indian Ocean by the Armed Forces embarrasses Western military fleets at sea.

Since the commencement of the Israeli regime's relentless military campaign against Gaza in early October, the Yemenis have openly declared their support for Palestine's struggle against the Israeli occupation. 

Israel initiated its genocidal war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian Hamas resistance group carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the usurping entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

The Tel Aviv regime has also imposed a "complete siege" on the territory, cutting off fuel, electricity, food, and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.

Since the start of the offensive, the Tel Aviv regime has killed over 33,207 Palestinians and injured more than 75,933 others.

The Yemeni Armed Forces have conducted recent attacks on ships with ties to Israel near Yemeni ports, including the interception and seizure of a vessel associated with the Tel Aviv regime on November 19.

The maritime attacks have forced some of the world’s biggest shipping and oil companies to suspend transit through one of the world’s most important maritime trade routes.

Tankers are instead adding thousands of miles to international shipping routes by sailing around the continent of Africa rather than going through the Suez Canal.
