Yemen: As the Israeli regime escalates threats of wide-scale attacks on Yemen, coinciding with intensified U.S. economic, security, and military moves against the Yemeni people, Yemen's military operations in support of Gaza have intensified.

These actions, targeting deep within occupied Palestinian territories, serve as a firm response to coercive attempts aimed at halting Yemeni operations and forcing Sana’a to abandon its stance. This has created a significant dilemma for both Israel and the United States, as these operations showcase not only symbolic defiance but also Yemeni military readiness to confront any future escalation.

The Yemeni Armed Forces' precision missile strike on Monday, targeting a military site in Yaffa (Tel Aviv), forced millions of settlers into shelters and suspended operations at Ben Gurion Airport. This strike was a stark rebuttal to recent Israeli media narratives about preparations for extensive attacks on Yemen in retaliation for its growing support for Gaza.

Israeli media, including Yedioth Ahronoth, have highlighted Israel's challenges in responding to Yemen's escalating operations. Reports suggest that attacking Yemen poses greater difficulties, with previous airstrikes failing to deter Yemeni drone and missile strikes on Israel.

The United States, too, faces challenges in halting Yemeni support for Gaza. The recent arrival of the U.S.S. Harry Truman to replace the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln, which retreated following a Yemeni attack, has not deterred Yemeni operations. Instead, these actions have underscored the limitations of U.S. and allied efforts to contain Yemen’s growing military capabilities and resolve.

U.S. Special Envoy to Yemen, Tim Lenderking, has sought to tighten restrictions on Yemeni ports, aiming to weaponize economic pressure. Simultaneously, U.S. Ambassador Steven Fagin has intensified meetings with Yemeni mercenaries to potentially ignite internal distractions.

Despite these pressures, Yemen’s continued strikes into occupied Palestine reflect a readiness to counter further aggression. The recent escalation sends a clear message: Yemeni forces are prepared to leverage any new conflict as an opportunity to enhance their tactical capabilities and operational effectiveness.

Ultimately, the ongoing crisis reveals that neither Israel nor the U.S. has a guaranteed strategy to halt Yemen’s steadfast support for Gaza, other than ending the genocide in Palestine—a reality that underscores the limits of their coercive tactics.
