News - Yemen: The Yemeni Armed Forces announced on Sunday the execution of a joint military operation with the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, targeting a strategic site in southern occupied Palestine.

In a military briefing, Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e, spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, stated that the operation was carried out using several drones and successfully achieved its objectives.

The Armed Forces emphasized that Yemeni forces, alongside Iraqi resistance fighters, will continue to respond to the crimes committed by the Israeli enemy against the people of Gaza.

They reiterated that the operation was conducted in support of the oppressed Palestinian people and their resistance, as well as in response to ongoing Israeli aggression and the siege on Gaza. The statement stressed that such operations will continue until the aggression ceases and the blockade on Gaza is lifted.

Since the onset of the Israeli regime’s war on Gaza on October 7, 2023—after Palestinian resistance movements launched Operation Al-Aqsa Storm—Yemen has declared unwavering support for Palestine’s struggle against occupation. The Yemeni Armed Forces have launched regular strikes against Israel as part of a phased escalation campaign.

This campaign has included a strict maritime blockade of Israeli shipping, effectively preventing vessels from reaching Israeli ports. In the initial phase, Yemeni forces targeted the port of Umm al-Rashrash in southern occupied Palestine. This escalation marks the culmination of a year-long series of actions across five phases.

Yemeni military advancements have now enabled strikes deep within Israel, reaching Jaffa (referred to by Israel as Tel Aviv) and other key locations. These attacks have utilized hypersonic missiles and advanced drones with significant destructive capabilities, targeting ports and critical military infrastructure throughout occupied Palestine.
