News - Yemen: The Yemeni Armed Forces have declared targeting a military site of the Israeli enemy in occupied Jaffa with a hypersonic ballistic missile of the "Palestine 2" type, successfully hitting its target.

In a statement following their recent military operation targeting an Israeli site in occupied Jaffa, the Yemeni Armed Forces highlighted the symbolic and strategic importance of their actions. 

"The operation is a victory for the oppressed Palestinian people and their fighters, and a response to the Israeli enemy's crimes against our brothers in Gaza," the statement read.

The Yemeni Armed Forces also underscored their preparedness for any escalation. "We, along with all the free people of Yemen, are fully prepared and ready to confront the Israeli-American-British aggression," they affirmed.

Reiterating their solidarity with the Palestinian cause, the statement expressed a sense of duty that drives their actions: "With God’s help, we will continue to fulfill our religious, moral, and humanitarian duty toward the oppressed Palestinian people."

The Yemeni Armed Forces further pledged ongoing support for the resistance in Gaza, stating, "We will persist in supporting the resistance in Gaza with additional military operations until the aggression against Gaza ceases and the siege 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.
