The Yemeni Armed Forces possess significant and sophisticated military capabilities, enabling them to deliver precise and devastating strikes against the nation's enemies, stated Yemen's Minister of Defense, Major General Mohammed al-Atifi, and the Chief of the General Staff, Major General Mohammed al-Ghamari.
Addressing what they termed "the criminal Zionist entity, the forces of arrogance that support it, and all the conspiring traitors," the two top Yemeni military officials declared that Sanaa has built "a modern and powerful army, capable of defending the nation's sanctities and holy sites, preserving its sovereignty, and imposing its might."
The officials further declared that the aggression against their nation and the holy sites of the Muslim world "will not pass without consequences," warning that "the response will be severe and overwhelming in order to teach the aggressors that they have embarked on a venture with dire repercussions."
Furthermore, the Yemeni Defense Minister and Chief of Staff emphasized their continued support for the "freedom fighters in Gaza," vowing to sustain their military operations against the Israeli occupation in the "Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, and the Gulf of Aden, extending even into the depths of the occupied territories, until its brutal aggression ceases."
Meanwhile, the Yemeni Armed Forces continue to direct strikes against the Israeli occupation by launching attacks on vital and military targets within the territories occupied since 1948, the most recent of which targeted sensitive sites in Yafa, Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat), and Beer al-Sabe' just a few days ago.
'Israel' under fire from Yemeni operations
Yemeni forces continue their operations in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab Strait, targeting Israeli or Israel-linked ships. These attacks have successfully disrupted traffic at Israeli ports, most notably halting operations at the port of Eilat.
Additionally, the Yemeni Armed Forces continue their operations deep inside the occupied Palestinian territories, striking a variety of critical enemy targets, most notably the Ben Gurion and Ramon airports.
On September 18, the Yemeni Armed Forces announced they had carried out three military operations against strategic targets in occupied Palestine, specifically in the areas of Tel Aviv, Eilat, and Beer al-Sabe'.
In a statement, spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced that the missile force had executed a military operation by launching a Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile against a sensitive Israeli military target in occupied Yafa.
The operation successfully achieved its objectives, which included causing millions of Israeli civilians to flee to shelters and forcing the closure of airspace.
Meanwhile, the UAV force simultaneously carried out two additional military operations.
He detailed that the first UAV operation struck various targets in the Eilat area using three drones, while the second operation targeted a sensitive site in the Beer al-Sabe' area with one drone.
Israeli Channel 12 reported that a drone launched from Yemen detonated in the courtyard of the Naveh Hotel in Eilat, damaging the structure, while other media reported that air traffic was halted at the Ramon airport.
