The operations initiated by the Yemeni armed forces will not end until the cessation of the Israeli war on Gaza, Yemeni Sanaa government Information Minister Daifallah al-Shami stressed Saturday.

Al-Shami told Al Mayadeen that operations in the Mediterranean Sea would start taking place, noting that there is "careful monitoring" and that "the coming days will witness the announcement of the first operations."

He emphasized that any party in the world that has a connection to the Israeli occupation will have "their trade [...] affected, and they will be a target for the Yemeni armed forces."

Al-Shami underlined that Yemen has the capabilities that allow it to stand on the front line to support the Palestinian people, suggesting that the number of fighters ready to fight the battle will reach "one million fighters soon."

The Minister of Information in the Sanaa government emphasized that the armed forces will closely monitor the sincerity of the occupation in implementing the cessation of aggression if an agreement is reached, describing it as "deceitful."

He emphasized that Yemenis have no special demands with regard to supporting the resistance in occupied Palestine.

Al-Shami noted that the process of supporting Gaza "has a separate track from that of Yemen's own issues."

He noted that many temptations have been offered in exchange for stopping support for the Palestinian cause, but the Yemeni people and their leadership "will not give up their position on Palestine until victory is achieved."

Operations in the Mediterranean

Spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces Yahya Saree on Friday announced a new stage in escalations that involves the targeting of ships heading to Israeli ports from the Mediterranean Sea.

"We announce the implementation of the fourth phase of escalation by targeting ships moving towards occupied Palestinian ports," Saree said.

Saree outlined three measures: targeting violating ships, immediate implementation, and imposing sanctions on ships related to supplying occupied Palestinian ports if "Israel" invades Rafah. 

"First, the targeting of all ships that violate the ban decision of Israeli navigation and that heading to the ports of occupied Palestine from the Mediterranean Sea in any reachable area within our ample zone. Second, implementation of this comes into effect immediately and from the moment this statement is announced," Saree said in a statement.

The spokesman noted that the Yemeni resistance will carry out attacks against ships heading towards Israeli ports. 

"Third: If the Israeli enemy intends to launch an aggressive military operation against Rafah, the Yemeni Armed forces will impose comprehensive sanctions on all ships and companies that are related to supplying and entering the occupied Palestinian ports of any nationality and will prevent all ships of these companies from passing through the armed forces’ operation zone, regardless of their destination," he added.

On Wednesday, Ansar Allah Political Bureau member Ali Al-Qahoum warned that any military base or territory used as a launching point for US, UK, and Israeli aggression against Yemen be deemed a "primary" target for Yemen, and will thus expand "theater of operations and the target bank to include strategic and vital targets in depth and in economically significant areas."

On the same day, the Supreme Council said that the consequences of Western and Israeli aggressions would extend beyond Yemen's borders.

For months, the Yemenis have been responding to Israeli military actions in the Gaza Strip by attacking military and commercial vessels linked to the Israeli occupation regime in the areas surrounding Yemen.

In response to the attacks, the US formed a coalition under its leadership coalition to stop Yemeni operations, an effort which failed to this moment.
