Yemeni Forces Launch Third Consecutive Ballistic Missile Strike on Key Israeli Targets

Yemeni Armed Forces have effectively conducted a coordinated military operation, striking key Israeli targets in the occupied area of Yaffa with a series of ballistic missiles.

The Yemeni Armed Forces announced on Thursday that a strike was successfully carried out in full cooperation with allies from the Islamic Republic of Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon, achieving all predetermined targets.

An official statement announced that the Yemeni Armed Forces have executed a military operation, launching a series of ballistic missiles against key Israeli targets in the occupied Yaffa region. This action aligns with their ongoing support for resistance movements and jihad fronts in Iraq, Iran, Palestine, and Lebanon, as stated in the communiqué.

The recent operation represents the third attack by Yemeni forces after aligning with the regional resistance in backing the Islamic Republic and the wider resistance movement opposing US-Israeli actions.

The operation highlights the seamless coordination across various fronts, including Yemen’s Red Sea defenses as well as regions in Lebanon, Iraq, and occupied Palestine, all under Iran’s strategic guidance.

The Yemeni Armed Forces have emphasized that their involvement in this pivotal and extraordinary conflict is being executed with calculated precision. “With reliance on divine support and assistance, our engagement will continue to escalate beyond this point,” the statement declared. Meanwhile, IRGC Quds Force commander Brigadier General Esmail Qa’ani announced that Yemen’s resistance had compelled the US aircraft carrier Gerald Ford to retreat in a manner deemed humiliating.

According to the statement, future operations will be adjusted based on the adversary’s actions, with an increase in intensity if escalated by the Israeli authorities or their U.S. supporters, and a proportionate response to any reduction in hostilities.

The statement concluded by commending the unwavering fighters across resistance fronts, expressing admiration and gratitude for the valiant individuals in Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, and Palestine. These fighters were lauded for their defense of national dignity and their steadfast opposition to the Western-Zionist agenda perceived as a threat to the countries and peoples of the region.

The announcement follows as the US-Israeli conflict with Iran reaches a pivotal stage. Iran’s steadfast defense, sophisticated missile technology, and unwavering backing of the Axis of Resistance have effectively countered adversarial strategies while motivating allied forces to broaden the conflict and increase the costs for the aggressors.

Yemen has formally joined the conflict, deploying domestically developed ballistic missiles that can target deep within contested territories, despite enduring years of aggression and blockade. This move highlights the vulnerabilities of Israel and its American allies. The opening of a military front by Yemen, in alignment with Iran and the broader resistance axis, marks a shift from political support to comprehensive strategic and battlefield collaboration against the US-Israeli coalition.

On February 28, the United States and Israel carried out an unauthorized operation against Iran, resulting in the assassination of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, as well as senior military commanders. This action is seen as a clear violation of Iran’s sovereignty.

Iran’s military forces have initiated a series of 91 retaliatory strikes under the operation codenamed “Operation True Promise 4.” This offensive involves the deployment of hundreds of ballistic and hypersonic missiles, along with drone attacks, targeting critical American and Israeli strategic positions across the region.

United Nations experts have recently issued a strong condemnation of the ongoing military actions by the United States and Israel against Iran, labeling them as clear breaches of international law.
