Russia’s Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Dmitry Polyanskiy, stated on Wednesday that the Israeli regime's military actions in the Gaza Strip have triggered a dangerous escalation across the Middle East, including retaliatory operations by Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement.

The Israeli actions in Gaza “have triggered escalation in the whole Middle East, including by Ansar Allah,” Polyanskiy said during a UN Security Council session. 

Polyanskiy made it clear that while Moscow does not endorse strikes against the Israeli occupation by Ansar Allah, it considers the Israeli regime’s disproportionate military response in Gaza “unacceptable” and warned that such actions could lead to “the most severe consequences.”

Israeli actions 

The Russian envoy emphasized the direct connection between the military operations carried out by Ansar Allah and the ongoing Israeli assault on Gaza. He pointed out that it was the brutality of the Israeli regime's actions, which are resulting in mass Palestinian casualties, that broadened the war's scope and extended its impact across the entire region.

His comments followed a major announcement by the Yemeni armed forces earlier this week. On Monday, Ansar Allah claimed responsibility for attacking the Magic Seas, a commercial ship en route to Israeli ports. The movement said the ship had violated a maritime ban and was struck with unmanned boats, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and drones, ultimately sustaining heavy damage and beginning to sink. The crew reportedly evacuated safely.

On Sunday, Saree confirmed that the YAF's Rocket Force targeted al-Lydd Airport, also known as Ben Gurion Airport, located in the occupied Yafa region (Tel Aviv), with a Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile.

The operation successfully achieved its objective, causing air traffic to come to a halt and millions of Israeli settlers to flee to shelters, according to Saree.

The spokesperson added that the operation was in support of the oppressed Palestinian people and their Resistance fighters, and in response to the ongoing genocide committed by "Israel" in the Gaza Strip.

A couple of hours later, at least 20 Israeli airstrikes struck the city of Hodeidah in Yemen early Monday, Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported, while Yemeni air defenses managed to repel a significant portion of the assault.

The attacks targeted key locations including the ports of Hodeidah, Salif, and Ras Issa, as well as the Ras Qatif power station. Israeli media confirmed that these infrastructures had been hit by Israeli occupation forces on three previous occasions.

Saree said that Yemeni air defenses successfully intercepted and repelled an Israeli aerial assault targeting several areas across Yemen.

According to Saree, both the interception and subsequent retaliatory operation came in response to the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza and in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
