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.

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."

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.

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.
