News - Middle East: Yemeni military’s unprecedented drone strike in the heart of Tel Aviv on Friday has sent ripples of shock, fear and helplessness among both settlers and Israeli regime officials.

It came in response to the Israeli regime’s continued genocidal crimes against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, where the death toll is now approaching the 29,000 mark, most of them children and women.

Yemeni military and resistance have carried out a string of operations in support of Gaza over the past several months, but Friday’s drone strike was the first-of-its-kind operation since October 7, 2023.

Israeli regime also carried out strikes on the western Yemeni province of al-Hudaydah on Saturday, which was followed by another operation by the Yemeni military on Sunday morning, targeting southern occupied Palestinian territories as well as an American vessel in the Red Sea.

Yemeni social media users have been upbeat over recent operations against the Israeli regime and have extended full support to their government and military in solidarity with the people of Palestine.

Ahmed Hassan, a social media influencer from Yemen, in a series of tweets after the Yemeni military operation against Tel Aviv, said he thanked God for Yemeni solidarity with the oppressed Palestinians.

“Thank God we have become partners with Gaza in their pain. A great blessing from God to Yemen to be a human shield for Gaza,” he wrote, expressing full solidarity with people in the besieged territory.
