News - Middle East: The Palestinian Resistance Committees have expressed their support for the Yemeni missile strike targeting the Zionist entity, describing it as a significant act of solidarity with Gaza and its resistance.

"The Yemeni missile strike on the Zionist entity reaffirms the continued support and solidarity from the Resistance Axis for Gaza and its resistance," the statement read.

The Committees highlighted that the strike comes as a direct response to the ongoing massacres and atrocities committed by the Zionist military against the Palestinian people. "The Yemeni strike is a reaction to the continuous massacres perpetrated by the Zionist war criminals against our people," they added.

Commenting on the aftermath of the strike, the Committees noted the panic among Israeli citizens. "Scenes of Zionists fleeing to shelters confirm that the government of war criminal Netanyahu will bring nothing but destruction and fear to its people," they said.

The statement concluded with a tribute to the Yemeni forces for their unwavering support for Gaza. "We salute the men of God in the Yemeni army, who continue their heroic strikes and steadfast support for Gaza and its resistance, despite the immense sacrifices," the Resistance Committees declared.

The Yemeni Armed Forces have announced the continuation of their military operations targeting Israeli enemy positions as part of the fifth phase of escalation.

In a statement, the spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e, confirmed that the Rocketry Forces successfully struck a military target in the occupied Jaffa area (Tel Aviv) with a "Palestine 2" hypersonic ballistic missile. The military emphasized that these actions are part of Yemen’s broader strategy to retaliate against the Israeli occupation and its continuous massacres in Palestine.

"We will not stop our military operations until the aggression against Gaza ends and the siege on the Palestinian people is lifted," the statement read. The Yemeni Armed Forces also reiterated their determination to carry out more strategic and impactful operations aimed at weakening the Israeli forces in the occupied territories.

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.
