Yemen is targeting the heart of the enemy in Tel Aviv and emphasized that the Israeli occupation is not immune from Yemeni attacks on the occupied Palestinian territories, indicated Hashem Sharaf al-Din, Minister of Information in the Reform and Rebuild Government in Sanaa.

The spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced on Sunday that a new hypersonic ballistic missile launched from Yemen successfully struck its military target in Tel Aviv.

In an interview for Al Mayadeen, Sharaf al-Din warned the Israeli occupation to "expect everything", pointing out that "additional top-tier weapons will be deployed [by the Yemeni Armed Forces] when their time comes."

The minister emphasized that "Yemen succeeded in advancing its military capabilities across multiple sectors, with its missiles now successfully striking moving naval targets."

Sharaf al-Din said the Israeli occupation entity must understand that Yemen is resolute in its support for Palestine, the Palestinian people, and their Resistance, and in responding to any aggression against the country.

He revealed that the launch of the new hypersonic ballistic missile toward occupied Yafa (Tel Aviv) came hours after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statements about escalating the war with Lebanon.

The top diplomat stressed that Yemen "does not accept partitioning the battle," highlighting full coordination and cooperation with the Axis of Resistance.

Yemen is living in a state of "freedom, dignity, and pride" and today stands as "the strongest voice against imperialism," Sharaf al-Din indicated. 

He warned the Israeli occupation of more military operations, recalling the statement of the leader of the Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, who said earlier on Sunday that "what is coming is far greater."

Addressing the million-man marches across Yemen on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad, Sayyed al-Houthi confirmed that the operation was carried out by the Yemeni missile force using a new advanced home-grown missile, affirming that "it is part of the fifth phase of escalation [against the Israeli enemy]."

He added that coordination with the different fronts of the Axis of Resistance is ongoing, vowing that the Yemeni operations will continue as long as the aggression and siege on Gaza are not ended.

"We remain steadfast on our position until Palestine is cleansed from the grip of the occupation," the Yemeni leader stated.
