Israeli Security Minister Israel Katz, speaking at an event on Monday, confirmed for the first time that "Israel" was responsible for the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran earlier this summer.

During his address, Katz also issued a stern warning to the Yemeni Resistance which has recently launched missile attacks on "Israel".

"In these days when the Houthi terror organization is firing missiles at Israel, I want to convey a clear message to them: We have defeated Hamas, we have defeated Hezbollah, we have blinded the defense systems in Iran, and damaged the [missile] production systems, we have overthrown the Assad regime in Syria, we have dealt heavy blows to the 'axis of evil,' and we will also severely strike the Houthi terror organization in Yemen, which remains the last one standing," Katz said.

While "Israel" was not directly involved in the fall of the Assad government in Syria, Katz noted that Israeli strikes played a role in facilitating its destabilization.

He further warned the Yemeni Resistance of specific actions, stating, "We will strike [Ansar Allah's] strategic infrastructure and decapitate its leaders. Just as we did to Haniyeh, Sinwar, and Nasrallah, in Tehran, Gaza, and Lebanon -- we will do in Hodeidah and Sanaa."

Katz concluded his remarks by reaffirming "Israel's" resolve to respond to any act of resistance.

"Whoever raises a hand against Israel will have their hand cut off, and the long arm of the [Israeli Occupation Force] will strike them and settle the score," he said.

Strikes on Yafa, Askalan

Earlier today, Yemeni Armed Forces spokesperson Yahya Saree announced that the YAF attacked two Israeli military targets one in occupied Yafa (Tel Aviv) and one in occupied Askalan. 

Saree stressed that the operations came in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their resistance and as a response to the massacres committed against civilians in Gaza. They came within the fifth phase of their campaign against the Israeli occupation and as part of the retaliation against the ongoing Israeli aggression on Yemen.

The first operation targeted a military site in the occupied city of Askalan using a Yafa drone, which successfully hit its target. The second operation similarly struck a military site in the occupied city of Yafa [Tel Aviv] with a Yafa drone, achieving its intended objectives.

The Yemeni Armed Forces emphasized their commitment to continuing military operations against Israeli targets in response to the resistance efforts in Gaza and in solidarity with the calls of the free people of Yemen and the Arab and Islamic nations. They reiterated that these operations would persist until the aggression on Gaza ceases and the blockade is lifted.
