The leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement in Yemen, Sayyed Abdul Malik al-Houthi, emphasized on Friday that coordination among members of the Axis of Resistance in the region will increase the impact of their operations against the Israeli occupation entity.

For his part, al-Hamidawi praised the military operations of the Yemeni forces, which "have significantly contributed to imposing a blockade on Israeli maritime navigation." He also stressed the need to maintain high readiness and coordination among the Axis of Resistance forces, especially between Iraq and Yemen, to support the Palestinian people.
Since the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza began last October, the Axis of Resistance factions initiated support fronts against the occupation entity, which included over 1,500 operations combined.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced carrying out two operations this week targeting a vital Israeli site in Eilat (occupied Umm al-Rashrash) in southern occupied Palestine. The attacks took place on Wednesday and Thursday using a number of one-way drones.

Additionally, the Yemeni Armed Forces YAF revealed on Friday three operations as part of the naval blockade imposed on "Israel", including an attack targeting a vessel in the Medditrenean Sea as part of the 4th phase of escalations announced earlier this month.
YAF spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree said in a televised statement that the first operation targeted the Israeli ship MSC ALEXANDRA in the Arabian Sea using several ballistic missiles.
The second operation, which comes as part of the 4th phase, was carried out by the YAF Navy, the Air Force, and the missile force, targeting the YANNIS ship which belongs to a Greek company Eastern Mediterranean Maritime as it was sailing through the Red Sea.
Meanwhile, the third operation was carried out by the YAF missile force, targeting the Israeli ship ESSEX with several missiles in the Mediterranean Sea while it was violating the ban that prevents entry into occupied Palestinian ports.
Concluding the statement, Saree reiterated the YAF's warning to all companies completing deals with the Israeli occupation entity that their ships, regardless of their destination, would be targeted within the indicated area of operations.
