The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) announced on Tuesday a significant military operation targeting the industrial zone in occupied Askalan, located approximately 50 kilometers south of Tel Aviv, using drones.
The operation came within Yemen's fifth phase of escalation against the Israeli occupation and as part of its commitment to defend and support the people of Palestine, Lebanon, and their respective Resistance movements.
According to the statement released by the YAF's Military Media, the drone successfully and accurately hit its target.
"The Yemeni Armed Forces, in response to the crimes of the Zionist enemy in Gaza and Lebanon, will continue their military operations, and these operations will not stop until the aggression stops, the siege on the Gaza Strip is lifted, and the aggression on Lebanon stops," the statement further read.

A Yemeni military source warned "Israel" against wasting time and expanding or extending the aggression, as the YAF's arsenal is made up of high-end weapons that will continue pounding occupied territories until the assaults on Lebanon and Gaza stop.
Speaking to Al Mayadeen, the source further affirmed that a swarm of drones was able to travel from Yemen to Askalan's industrial zone without being detected or intercepted, making an impact on its targets and sending the occupation a clear message threat.
The source reiterated the sophistication of its arsenal, saying not even the B-2 Spirit bombers that the US recently utilized against Yemen could deter it.
YAF publish footage of a large-scale 'To Make Your Faces Wretched' drill
The Yemeni Military Media released Sunday a 20-minute video documenting a series of tactical exercises dubbed "To Make Your Faces Wretched" [Quranic verse] carried out by the Yemeni Armed Forces.
The exercises simulated the Armed Forces' response to coordinated and non-standard hypothetical hostile attacks.
The maneuvers simulated four hypothetical assault waves by hostile forces on Yemeni territory, encompassing the coast, urban areas, deserts, and mountains, employing both defensive and offensive tactical operations.
According to the Yemeni Military Media, this exercise is part of the Battle of the Promised Conquest and the Sacred Jihad in support of the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples and in commemoration of the one-year anniversary of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
The footage showcased the real-time monitoring and management of the exercises by the Advanced Command and Control Center, featuring military leaders, maps, surveillance equipment, communications devices, and a wide range of weaponry and missiles, including sniper weapons, torpedoes, unmanned boats, ambush setups, raids, and urban warfare simulations.
During the exercises, the Yemeni Armed Forces unveiled a new naval weapon called "Al-Qare’a"—an unmanned submarine capable of creating a massive explosion, with enhanced stealth capabilities to target the largest US warships.
