The missile launch induced widespread panic among Israeli settlers, with over two million people seeking shelter—marking an unprecedented event in Israeli history.
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.
Yemen preparing for extended war with 'Israel': Exclusive
Yemeni sources told Al Mayadeen that Yemen will not limit itself to a single target, reaffirming to "Israel" that Yafa [Tel Aviv] is not secure, urging it to take the threat seriously.
The Israeli narrative regarding Yemeni military operations should not be trusted, the sources said.
The same sources told Al Mayadeen that Yemen is preparing for an extended war with "Israel" using multifaceted tactics, and is enhancing its strategic military capabilities with this long-term perspective in mind.
The sources emphasized that Tel Aviv cannot predict the timing or location of upcoming operations.
The Yemeni Army is thoroughly analyzing Israeli defense systems, similar to how it previously assessed the defenses of US vessels in the Red Sea, as per the sources, which said that Yemen has reportedly developed new technology, some of which was used in targeting US vessels that failed to intercept missiles.
Al Mayadeen's sources also noted that Yemen previously executed a precise strike with the Yafa drone, which successfully hit its target, revealing that it will now deploy new weapons against a range of strategic objectives.
In a related context, the sources further noted that "Israel" should no longer rely solely on its defense systems, as Yemen promises that future responses will involve precise, well-planned, strategic, and continuous operations, stressing that the Yemeni Army has committed to delivering on its promises and maintaining a high level of operational surprise.
