The spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced on Wednesday an operation carried out by the Naval Forces targeting the American USS Mason destroyer in the Red Sea. According to Saree, a number of anti-ship missiles were used to directly hit the vessel. 

The Yemeni navy and missile forces also conducted a joint operation against the Destiny ship in the Red Sea, confirming a direct hit, after it had violated the ban placed on Israeli or Israeli-bound ships on April 20. Saree revealed that the Destiny vessel had attempted to trick the YAF by claiming it was sailing to a non-affiliated port, but was heading in reality to Umm al-Rashrash [Eilat]. 

The Yemeni Armed Forces had monitored the ship and warned it against heading to occupied Palestinian ports, however, it insisted on violating the ban. Consequently, the ship has been added to the list of targeted ships that will not be allowed to sail through the area of operations. 

The YAF spokesperson stated that the operations came to champion the resilient people of Palestine and as a response to the US-UK aggression against Yemen. 

He further affirmed the continued commitment of the Yemeni Armed Forces to counter Israeli maritime activity in the region of operations, until the aggression stops and the siege on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is lifted.

Saree: Yemen has launched phase four of escalation in support of Gaza

Yahya Saree announced on Monday the commencement of the fourth phase of the escalation against the Israeli occupation, indicating that significant operations as part of the phase are forthcoming.

Earlier, Sanaa announced initiating stage four of its operations comprising two parts.

The first part directly went into effect and expanded the scope of attacks to include the Mediterranean Sea, while Yemenis said the second part would be triggered in case of an Israeli attack on Rafah, which was launched last week.

The second part enforces a new equation that would hold the operator of any ship that docks in occupied Palestinian ports liable and would make all its ships within the reach of the Yemeni Armed Forces a legitimate target.

In a speech during an event organized by the Moral Guidance Department of the Yemeni Ministry of Defense in Sanaa, Saree said that new details will be revealed in the coming days regarding the ships that breached the blockade imposed by Yemen on vessels heading to Israeli occupation ports via the Mediterranean Sea.

In this context, he emphasized that the Yemeni operations and position in support of Gaza "are not merely slogans for gaining popularity," but rather "a stance rooted in practice," affirming that "the Yemeni people are fully prepared to sacrifice lives [for that purpose], and if given a path, millions would go to defend Gaza against the Israeli enemy."

Saree pointed out that the Yemeni people "have prepared themselves for battle if the Americans launched a ground attack on the country, or if a path leading to Palestine was opened for them," revealing that the Yemeni Armed Forces "have significant preparations for the fifth and sixth phases in support of the Palestinian people."
