The spokesperson for the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, commended the top-tier operation carried out by the Yemeni Armed Forces, which targeted an Israeli military site near Tel Aviv on Sunday morning.

"We also deeply appreciate the stance of the dear Yemeni people alongside their Palestinian brethren and their readiness to offer sacrifices for this cause," Abu Obeida said in a statement posted on Telegram.

He pointed out that the weapon used in the operation, the type of target it struck, and other details regarding the attack represent a significant development that will have important implications for the course and outcomes of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.

"Israel", which is still mired in the Gaza quagmire and failed today, along with its allies, to thwart or intercept a single missile, is incapable of expanding the war into new fronts, from which it would face thousands of missiles and many surprises, the spokesperson underscored.

Such a "foolish step", according to Abu Obeida, would mean that Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "is leading his crumbling entity toward inevitable disaster."

The spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced on Sunday that a new hypersonic ballistic missile launched from Yemen successfully struck its military target in Tel Aviv.

Saree reported that the Yemeni Armed Forces executed the operation using the new missile, which traveled approximately 2,040 kilometers and hit its target in Tel Aviv within just 11.5 minutes.

Israeli air defense systems failed to intercept the missile, he affirmed.

Saree highlighted that this operation is part of the fifth phase of Yemen's strategic military efforts, showcasing significant advancements in missile technology. He emphasized that these new technologies are designed to bypass all US-Israeli surface and maritime defensive systems.

He further asserted that Yemen will not be deterred by geographical obstacles or the countermeasures of US and UK forces, reiterating Yemen's commitment to its religious, moral, and humanitarian responsibilities in support of the Palestinian people.

He warned that "Israel" should anticipate more sophisticated strikes and operations as Yemen approaches the first anniversary of the Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7, including responses to "Israel's" aggression on Hodeidah and ongoing support for the oppressed Palestinians.

It is noteworthy that this is not the first time the Yemeni Armed Forces have targeted Tel Aviv. On July 19, the YAF's Yafa drone struck an important Israeli target in the occupied Palestinian city of Yafa, achieving a direct hit, killing an Israeli settler and injuring several others.

Consequently, "Israel" launched a series of airstrikes on an oil storage facility in the port city of Hodeidah, killing several Yemeni people and injuring tens of others.

Following the Israeli aggression on Hodeidah, Saree reiterated that occupied Yafa is an "unsafe zone" and that a response to the aggression on civilian facilities is undoubtedly coming.

The spokesperson emphasized that the YAF "will not hesitate" to strike vital Israeli targets in the Israeli entity and that operations in support of the Palestinian people in Gaza will not stop regardless of the consequences.

He also made it clear that the Yemeni people "are preparing for a long war with this enemy [Israel] until the aggression on Gaza stops and the siege is lifted and the crimes committed by the Israeli enemy against the Palestinian people in Gaza are over."

Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, also revealed that the Yafa drone strike on Tel Aviv marked the initiation of the fifth phase of Yemeni operations.

In the same vein, the Hamas movement said the Yemeni operation is a "natural response to the occupation's aggression against the Palestinian people, the brethren Yemen, and the Arab region."

"The Israeli enemy will not enjoy security unless it stops its brutal aggression against the people in the Gaza Strip," Hamas underlined in a statement.

Yemen's strike aggravated the enemy's crises: PIJ

On its part, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement also hailed the Yemeni missile strike, adding that it "aggravated the occupation's crises and exposed its weakness."

The PIJ highlighted that "the courage of the Yemeni people in confronting American arrogance and Zionist tyranny reaffirms their commitment to supporting our Palestinian people."

The movement also condemned "the ongoing official Arab silence in the face of the massacres and genocide being committed by the entity against the Palestinian people."

Yemen's response strengthens deterrence equation: PFLP

Similarly, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) said the Yemeni missile strike "penetrated the Israeli depth and bypassed American and Western defenses, hitting the fabricated entity's capital" in a new, top-tier operation that demonstrated Yemen's ability to reinforce the deterrence equation against the Israeli occupation.

The PFLP stated that the Yemeni operation "left the Israeli enemy in a state of shock and confusion" and once again revealed the fragility of its defense system, which has long relied on US and allied support.

According to the PFLP, today's ballistic message from Yemen was clear: "Stop the aggression on Gaza immediately or Yemen's responses will continue, grow stronger, and reach deeper into Israel."

Yemen possesses high will, intelligence capabilities: Resistance Committees

The Resistance Committees in Palestine said the YAF's operation is proof that Yemen possesses strong will and intelligence capabilities to strike the Israeli occupation entity at its core.

In a statement, the Committees pointed out that the fact the Yemeni missile reached Yafa and the massive Israeli defense failures amid heightened alert and the presence of US and NATO forces, sends a message to the Israeli settlers: "Netanyahu's government is leading you toward the abyss, and no force will be able to provide you with security."

YAF operation adds to 'Israel's' severe failure: Mujahideen Movement

The Palestinian Mujahideen Movement hailed the Yemeni operation, describing it as a major development in Yemen's support front in the battle against the Israeli occupation entity.

The movement said the success of the Yemeni missile in reaching a military target deep within "Israel" and the Israeli failure to intercept it add to the severe failure of the occupation's military and security system.

It stressed that "this new top-tier operation sends a strong message to the [Israeli occupation] entity and its American and Western supporters that aggression against the nation will not go unanswered, and that Western support for the Zionists will not bring them security, but rather more calamities."

The Mujahideen Movement also praised the stance of the Yemeni people, the leader Sayyed Abdul Malik al-Houthi, the YAF, and the Ansar Allah movement in their unwavering support for Gaza, despite the conspiracies, siege, and aggression aimed at deterring them from continuing their triumph for the oppressed Palestinian people.

YAF operation demonstrates strength, capability of Axis of Resistance: Al-Ahrar Movement

In addition, the Palestinian al-Ahrar Movement stressed that the Yemeni operation marked a "significant and decisive shift in the management of the struggle against the enemy."

It added that such an operation demonstrates the strength and capability of the Axis of Resistance and support fronts in striking the Israeli occupation entity, instilling fear, and dismantling its security apparatus.

The movement affirmed that the operation also highlights the interconnectedness and unity of the Axis of Resistance in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood and delivers a message to the Israeli occupation to stop the war it is waging.

Yemeni operation exposed falsehood of Israeli security apparatus: Fatah al-Intifada

Moreover, the Fatah al-Intifada Movement said the Yemeni operation exposed the falsehood of the Israeli occupation's security and military apparatus and revealed the qualitative progress of the Yemeni Resistance.

It underlined that the support fronts are sending "fiery messages" to the Israeli occupation and its allies, making it clear that Gaza and the Palestinian people will not be left alone in the face of this genocide.

Fatah al-Intifada's statement further emphasized that "our brethren in Yemen and across the Axis of Resistance have proven that the Palestinian cause and al-Aqsa Mosque remain the central issue for the Arab and Islamic nations and that resistance is the only means to confront Zionist and Western arrogance against our nation."
