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.

Breakthrough operation

Al Mayadeen's correspondent announced earlier tonight that a drone breached the airspace of occupied Palestine from the sea and crashed into a building on Shalom Aleichem Street in Tel Aviv, causing significant damage.

Israeli emergency services reported that eight people were injured by shrapnel from the explosion, while Israeli media reported one person dead. According to the police, who corroborated the information of the Israeli media, the body was found in a building near the explosion and showed signs of shrapnel wounds.

Israeli media sources revealed that a large drone approached Tel Aviv from the sea at a low altitude. It is still unclear how the drone managed to bypass all defensive systems and strike the building.

Footage of the explosion and its aftermath showed the drone’s engine noise before the impact, though the Israeli military has yet to announce official details.
