The UAV force of the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) struck an Israeli military target in occupied Yafa (Eilat) using a Yafa-type drone, announced spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree on Tuesday.

Additionally, Saree confirmed that the UAV force struck other military targets in occupied Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat) with four Samad-4 drones, pointing out that the two operations achieved their objectives precisely.

The spokesperson mentioned that the operations come in solidarity with the Palestinian and Lebanese people and in support of their valiant Resistance.

The YAF hail all steadfast fighters in Palestine and Lebanon defending the Ummah in the face of Israeli-American aggression and its plans aimed at subjugating all countries and peoples, the Brigadier General said.

He also reaffirmed the YAF's support for the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples until the aggression is repelled and its criminal schemes and expansionist conspiracies are thwarted.

Earlier, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said a vessel reported being attacked by an unmanned surface vehicle 64 nautical miles northwest of Hodeidah.

The coastal city was subject on Sunday to an Israeli aggression that targeted Hodeidah port, airport, and the al-Hali power generation station.

The spokesperson for the Sanaa-based Yemeni Ministry of Health told Al Mayadeen that five people were killed and 45 others were injured in the preliminary toll of the Israeli aggression on Hodeidah Governorate.

The aggression came after the YAF's missile force targeted the Israeli Ben Gurion airport in occupied Yafa (Tel Aviv) in parallel with the arrival of Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the location.

An informed source told Al Mayadeen that a swarm of Israeli aircraft targeted a civilian port and power stations.

The source made it clear that the latest aggression will not force Yemen to end its military operations under any circumstance, underlining that civilian targeting will be met with reciprocality, and "the enemy's society should be aware of this."

The bank of targets of the Yemeni Armed Forces within the enemy's depth is vast and strategic, the source highlighted, expressing the YAF's preparedness for all scenarios.

The operation comes a day after Saree confirmed that the Yemeni air defenses shot down an American MQ-9 Reaper drone as it was carrying out hostilities in the airspace of the northern governorate of Saada.
