Yemen has launched several attacks against the Israeli occupation since the entity's aggression on Gaza started.
The latest attack was on Monday when the Yemeni Armed Forces announced launching a large barrage of drones toward several Israeli sites in occupied Palestine.
Saree confirmed in a statement then that the drones reached their intended targets. As a result, the bases and airports that were targeted went out of service for several hours, he added.
Sanaa repeatedly underlined that the Yemeni Armed Forces will continue to carry out military operations in support of Palestinians until the Israeli brutal aggression on Gaza stops.
