"Israel" has directed its embassies in Europe to work toward having the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement classified as a terrorist organization, Reuters reported on Tuesday.

Since the start of the Israeli war on Gaza, the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) have consistently launched drones and missiles at "Israel" in support of the Palestinian people and their Resistance.

They have vowed to persist with such operations against Israeli targets until the Israeli aggression on Gaza stops and the siege imposed on the Palestinian strip is lifted.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said that the Yemenis "pose a threat not only to Israel but also to the region and the entire world."

"The first and most basic thing to do is to designate them as a terrorist organization," he stated.

According to Saar, the US, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, the UAE, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and "Israel" regard Ansar Allah as "terrorists".

Earlier on Tuesday, the Israeli emergency service Magen David Adom announced that more than 20 settlers were injured while rushing to shelters following a missile launch from Yemen.

In a statement, the service said that paramedics were providing medical care to more than 20 people injured while seeking shelter, noting that there have been no reports of injuries or damage resulting from the missile launched toward central "Israel".

The Israeli occupation military said early Tuesday that a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted before it entered Israeli airspace, adding that sirens were activated due to the risk of debris from the interception.

On Monday, Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced that the YAF attacked two Israeli military targets one in occupied Yafa (Tel Aviv) and one in occupied Askalan.

According to Saree, the first operation targeted a military site in the occupied city of Askalan using a Yafa drone, which successfully hit its target.

The second operation similarly struck a military site in the occupied city of Yafa [Tel Aviv] with a Yafa drone, achieving its intended objectives, he added.

And on Saturday, a Palestine 2-typed hypersonic ballistic missile launched by the YAF struck Tel Aviv, injuring at least 20 settlers, as per Israeli media. Israeli police confirmed the missile’s impact and noted the damage caused, adding that an investigation would be launched to determine the cause of the interception failure.

'Yemen is not an ordinary enemy': Israeli media

Yemen's rockets that struck "Israel" on Saturday have cast a shadow over Tel Aviv and its security establishments, Israeli newspaper Maariv stated on Monday, relaying the occupation's military and security apparatus' growing concerns regarding Yemeni threats. 

According to Maariv, the military and security establishment has acknowledged that the Yemeni conundrum is highly complicated, saying "Yemen is not an ordinary enemy." 

Among the complications in confronting Ansar Allah and the Yemeni Armed Forces are the thousands of kilometers that separate "Israel" and Yemen, the newspaper stated, adding that Yemen's Armed Forces are dispersed across the country and are present in areas not defined on the map. 

Moreover, it is challenging to defeat Yemen, Maariv further added, noting that Saudi Arabia had previously waged this war and was not able to achieve any victory, nor was it able to break its will. 

According to a security source, Yemen is a challenge "Israel" has not faced before, and it did not know how to deal with it. 

Amid the growing Yemeni threats, the necessity to end the war on Gaza, and the subsequent field implications, calls renewed in Tel Aviv to reopen shelters for settlers to rush to in case of alarm triggers in anticipation of more missile attacks from Yemen, the Israeli Broadcasting Authority reported.
