The Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a major military operation today, targeting the Nevatim airbase in the al-Naqab region of southern occupied Palestine as part of their fifth phase of escalation against the Israeli occupation.

Speaking at the million-man march in Sabeen Square, Yemeni Armed Forces spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced that the operation was "executed with a hypersonic ballistic missile, Palestine 2, which reached its target."

Saree also reported that the Yemeni air defenses downed a US MQ-9 drone earlier this morning as it was conducting hostile operations in the Yemeni airspace over the al-Jawf province.

Later, the YAF's Military Media released footage of the operation whereby the hunter-killer UAV was downed via a homegrown surface-to-air missile.

This brings the total number of US MQ-9 drones downed by Yemeni air defenses to 12 as part of the Promised Victory and Holy Jihad battle, according to Brigadier General Saree.

He affirmed that "Yemen remains committed to supporting the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples by upholding the maritime blockade on the enemy [Israeli occupation] and through supportive military operations."

Saree added that "operations will not cease until the aggression ends, the blockade on Gaza is lifted, and the attacks on Lebanon stop."

US and UK continue aggression against Yemen

The Yemeni News Agency, Saba, reported that American-British aggression aircraft launched two airstrikes targeting the at-Tuhayat district in Yemen's Hodeidah governorate.

This aggression is part of the ongoing US-UK assaults on Yemen, aimed at deterring it from supporting the Resistance movements in Gaza and Lebanon.

However, the Yemenis, in yet another million-man demonstration, vowed to continue to back the Resistance, proving that this is the popular choice across the country.

The marches, under the slogan of continued support for Palestine and Lebanon, addressed the enemies in a statement, saying, "Even if you gather all the armies of the world with their planes, fleets, warships, destroyers, and military arsenals, we are stronger with God."

The statement added that "the enemies will not be able to deter Yemen from its principled and faith-driven stance in supporting the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples" and called for continued popular campaigns to raise funds and donations for the Palestinian people.

It also called for dedicating the next week to donations and aid for the displaced Lebanese people, from today until the following Friday.

The marches reaffirmed to the world that Yemen "will not abandon the path of jihad, the path of the Qur'an, sacrifice, and victory," and addressed the fighters in Palestine and Lebanon, saying, "You are not alone. We are by your side until victory, fully prepared to face the forces of arrogance and their tools in the region."

Regarding the United States and its new president, Donald Trump, the marches stated, "You know the Yemeni people from before, and you will know them more today. What you failed to achieve in your previous term, you will not achieve today."
