The Yemeni drone Yafa, used by the Yemeni Armed Forces in their Friday operation targeting Tel Aviv, was developed after Arab countries intercepted Yemeni weapons aimed at Umm Al-Rashrash [Eilat], an informed source told Al Mayadeen on Friday.
The source further stated that the stockpile of such drones is "very large" and emphasized that "this is not the last weapon" of its kind, noting that "American reports about intercepting these drones are inaccurate."
The source highlighted that the military operations on occupied Yafa are "coinciding with naval operations according to the objectives announced by the Yemeni army," affirming that "all operations will continue unabated."
One source told Al Mayadeen that the "target bank in Yafa is diverse," stressing that "Yafa will no longer be safe." The source described the operation as a "significant military success."
The source explained that the Yemeni Armed Forces' statement "revealed complete readiness for any changes," emphasizing that the operation is part of "escalatory steps that will not be reversed."
The source confirmed to Al Mayadeen that Yemen would not be "affected by counter-operations" and would "continue targeting its bank of targets."
Yafa drone
The Yemeni Armed Forces announced Friday a successful drone strike targeting a significant site in Tel Aviv, occupied Palestine, in continuation of their operations in support of Gaza.
The operation in question was conducted by the newly developed Yafa drone, Yemeni Armed Forces spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree declared early Friday. The drone is named after the Palestinian city occupied by "Israel" as part of greater Tel Aviv.
The UAV is designed with the specific aim of evading enemy radar and interception systems, Saree said. The drone reached its target and achieved its operational objectives.
A new video emerged on social media showing the moment the drone struck in Tel Aviv.

The statement emphasized that the Yemeni Armed Forces now consider the area of Tel Aviv to be a strike zone and a primary target for future operations.
Saree declared the YAF's intent to continue focusing on strategic strikes against the Israeli occupation's internal front, aiming to reach deep within its territory.
Additionally, the spokesperson revealed that the Yemeni Armed Forces have in their possession a target bank with occupied Palestine, including sensitive military and security sites.
Saree vowed that the YAF would continue their operations against these targets in retaliation for the occupation's daily crimes and massacres against Palestinians in Gaza.
The statement further affirmed the YAF's commitment to supporting the heroic Resistance of Gaza, who are defending the Arab and Islamic world, asserting that the YAF's operations would persist until the aggression on Gaza ceases and the siege on the Palestinian people there is lifted.
