"Israel" should not be under the illusion that the attack on Yemen will deter the country or force it to stop firing ballistic missiles targeting the Israeli entity, Israeli channel Kan reported.
Regarding the aggression on Yemen this Sunday, the channel acknowledged the absence of significant targets, pointing out that "Israel" had previously failed in its attempt to assassinate the Yemeni chief of staff and has continued to carry out attacks from Yemen.
The channel suggested that the Yemeni Armed Forces will launch more attacks in response to today's aggression, and "Israel" will, in turn, continue to relaunch attacks on Yemen.
War not confined to Gaza
In light of this, the channel noted that "for anyone who believed the war was confined to the Gaza Strip, the MIRV missile launched from Yemen last Friday, which targeted Ben Gurion Airport and sites in both Yafa and Ashkelon, serves as a stark reminder that none of these fronts have calmed down or been decisively resolved."
The Associated Press cited an Israeli air force official as saying that the Yemeni missile launched on Friday constitutes a new threat to "Israel".
Meanwhile, Israeli Channel 13 described the attack in Yemen as "more of the same," noting that this was the 15th such attack and that "Yemen will pursue its operations."
On its part, "Israel's" Channel 12 reported that Yemen is steadfast on linking the war on Gaza to the continuation of its strikes against "Israel", effectively challenging "Israel" to act and devise a different, broader plan in coordination with foreign countries if it genuinely wants the bombardment from Yemen to stop.
The channel stated that Ansar Allah is a highly resilient organization and acknowledged that "Israel's" ability to pressure them into halting their attacks is extremely limited.
