Yemen: The fifth phase of Yemen’s military escalation against the American and Zionist enemies, as part of supporting Gaza and the broader battle for the promised liberation and sacred jihad, has reached its peak.

Nearly every day, there is a new military statement delivered by Brigadier General Yahya Sare'e, the spokesperson for Yemen’s Armed Forces.

Despite the Western alliance’s support for the Zionist entity, the complicity of Arab and Islamic regimes, and their efforts to provide military and economic aid to Israel, Yemen’s Armed Forces continue their operations deep into Israeli territory, targeting critical and vital objectives across various settlements.

These operations encompass all declared theaters of engagement by the Yemeni military, which include vast maritime territories stretching from the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, through the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean, to the Mediterranean Sea.

While Israel’s air defenses remain ineffective in countering Yemen’s ballistic missiles, hypersonic weapons, and drones—falling periodically across occupied Palestinian territories—the US naval arsenal in the region faces unprecedented challenges. These difficulties are unlike any the United States has encountered in its history of conflicts and wars.

A Pivotal Stage in the Confrontation

Military expert Brigadier General Abdulsalam Sufyan highlights that Yemen’s sustained high-intensity operations against the Zionist enemy and its American and British allies come at a sensitive and decisive stage in the history of this confrontation.

Speaking to Al-Masirah, he explained that the continuation of these sophisticated operations deep inside Israeli territory, as well as against the US naval fleet in the region, demonstrates the Yemeni Armed Forces' high readiness and their ability to face the current challenges. He emphasized that these operations reflect Yemen’s unwavering stance in support of Gaza, a position adopted by all Yemenis, from their leadership to their people.

Sufyan views the escalation against the Zionist and American enemies as a direct response to Israel’s relentless aggression against Gaza and its genocidal crimes. He added that battlefield indicators suggest the Yemeni Armed Forces are prepared to increase the effectiveness of their military operations more than ever before, pressuring Israel to cease its aggression and lift the siege on Gaza.

He also pointed out that these operations send a message to the silent and complicit global community that there are still free people willing to defend Islamic sanctities and the oppressed, regardless of the challenges. Yemen’s military and popular solidarity with Gaza, he said, is a powerful rebuke to the silent Arab and Islamic states.

Additionally, these operations bolster the resilience of the steadfast Palestinian resistance, which continues to engage the Zionist enemy in close combat, inflicting heavy losses over the course of a year of unprecedented, intense confrontations.

Sufyan described Yemen’s support for Gaza as a historic stance and the right decision, one that the entire Muslim world should emulate. He reiterated that the Zionist enemy is criminal, savage, and untrustworthy, citing its ongoing atrocities in Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria.

He argued that the history of the conflict with the Zionist entity proves that armed struggle and jihad in the path of Allah remain the only effective solutions to end the occupation and liberate Islamic holy sites. Yemen’s unwavering position in supporting Gaza and confronting the global forces backing Israel restores hope to the submissive and downtrodden Arab and Islamic world, showing that it is possible to challenge and defeat global evil.

Sufyan also highlighted the significant impact of Yemen’s military operations in the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, the Arabian Sea, and deep within Israeli territory. These operations have thrown the enemy into disarray and demonstrated Yemen’s strategic capabilities.

Yemen’s Resistance: A Model for the Arab and Islamic World

Political analyst Hamid Antar affirmed that Yemen’s ongoing military operations against the Zionist and American enemies are effectively weakening and depleting their military capabilities.

Speaking to Al-Masirah, he noted that the escalation during this fifth phase of Yemen’s military campaign has significantly increased the economic and material losses of the enemy, while also lowering their morale. Yemen’s effective military operations have astonished the enemies, forcing them to rethink their strategies concerning Yemen.

Antar emphasized that Yemen has proven its extraordinary capabilities in the promised liberation battle and sacred jihad, standing against the most powerful nations in the world. He stated that the almost daily execution of operations confirms Yemen’s possession of a strategic arsenal, including ballistic missiles, hypersonic weapons, drones, and other advanced military technologies.

This strategic stockpile, he explained, enables Yemen to deliver severe lessons to its Zionist and American enemies. Any future escalation by the US, the UK, or Israel against Yemen will only backfire, as Yemen is waging its battles based on well-thought-out military plans crafted with great expertise.

Regarding claims by enemies and their allies about replicating the Syrian scenario in Yemen, Antar dismissed such possibilities. He argued that Yemen’s geography, popular unity, advanced military capabilities, and the leadership’s strategic vision make the country an impenetrable fortress. History, he added, proves Yemen has always been a graveyard for invaders.

Antar concluded that the current military operations reinforce the reality that Yemen cannot be subdued. It is writing a new chapter of resistance, delivering a clear message to its enemies: the oppressed will triumph, and Yemen will remain an enduring symbol of defiance and hope for the Islamic and Arab world.
