BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

The Yemeni Armed Forces struck several Israeli-affiliated merchant vessels and a United States-owned ship in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea, the spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF), Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced on Wednesday. 

Saree said that the YAF's Navy, Rocket Force, and Unmanned Air Force targeted two vessels in the Red Sea with anti-ship missiles and drones. 

In detail, the YAF attacked the "Vantage Dream" bulk carrier and the "Roza" oil tanker in the Red Sea, following an earlier announcement that barred all maritime companies that violated the embargo imposed on the Israeli regime from sailing in Yemeni waterways. 

Moreover, the YAF targeted the US-owned "Maersk Seletar" in the eastern Arabian Sea with a number of attack drones. 

The spokesperson reiterated Yemen's support to the oppressed Palestinian people and their valiant Resistance in the Gaza Strip, promising further attacks on all vessels that violate the ordered embargo against the Israeli regime.

YAF introduce all-new 'Palestine' ballistic missile 

Earlier on Monday, Brigadier General Saree announced that the YAF launched ballistic missiles at an Israeli military target in Eilat, occupied Umm al-Rashrash, in southern occupied Palestine.

Saree revealed that the Rocket Force utilized the "Palestine" ballistic missile in its attack, marking the first use of the newly introduced system by the YAF. The specifications of the Yemeni "Palestine" missiles are yet to be unveiled, however, it could be deduced that the missile has a range that exceeds 1,600 km. 

At the time, Saree stressed that the operation achieved its intended objective. 

The YAF had also recently announced two separate operations against the United States Navy Carrier Strike Group 2 and its flagship aircraft carrier, the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower. 

Today's video released by the Yemeni Armed Forces revealed that the ballistic missile was also embroidered in the colors of the Palestinian flag and the black and white Koufiyyeh, a symbol of Palestinian struggle and resistance. 

On a technical note, the missile is launched from a mobile launcher at an angle and hosts a maneuverable re-entry vehicle. More details on the capabilities and operational specifications of the Yemeni missile are yet to be announced. 

The #Yemeni Armed Forces released footage of the first use of the locally-produced "Palestine" ballistic missile, used to target occupied Umm al-Rashrash, Eilat, on June 3.

In another show of solidarity, the YAF dubbed the strategic missile "#Palestine", paying homage to the… pic.twitter.com/dtjQQ9P8nO
