Yemen Launches Dual Assault: Targets Hit in Yaffa and US Destroyers Engaged in Red Sea

Yemeni forces have carried out a missile and drone strike targeting Israeli military sites near Tel Aviv as well as two U.S. destroyers, despite continuous American bombardment. This operation was conducted in a strong show of support for Palestine.

The Yemeni military has reported that operations were conducted on Monday utilizing projectiles and a drone.

The Yemeni Armed Forces’ UAV unit executed a military operation targeting a specific military site in the occupied region of Yaffa. The operation employed a ‘Yaffa’ drone, successfully hitting its intended target.

Military sources have characterized the operation as a demonstration of victory for the Palestinian population and their fighters, executed in retaliation for the atrocities committed in Gaza and in response to the broader aggression against their nation.

The military announced that, as a response to the continuous United States aggression and the offenses committed against its citizens, their armed forces persist in targeting hostile warships in the Red Sea that are participating in aggression against their nation.

Naval and air forces conducted a coordinated military operation, launching multiple cruise missiles and deploying drones to target two US destroyers.

Yemeni forces have been targeting Israeli and American interests as an expression of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza following the onset of the severe conflict initiated on October 7, 2023. This action also stands as a reaction to perceived American-British aggression on their territory.

Forces have escalated their offensive by intensifying strikes on critical Israeli and American sites, targeting U.S. warships and aircraft carriers stationed off Yemen’s coast.

The statement asserted that the offenses perpetrated against their population by the United States and its allies, along with the assaults on civilian structures across various governorates, underscore the adversary’s inability to accomplish its objectives.

In response to the continued actions perceived as aggression by the United States, our military forces are actively targeting adversarial naval vessels in the Red Sea that are partaking in what is described as acts of aggression against our nation.

The United States and its allies have intensified their actions against Yemen following the country’s renewed anti-Israel operations, prompted by the regime’s continuation of alleged genocidal activities in Gaza. Yemeni forces have reportedly launched new strikes, targeting Israel and a U.S. aircraft carrier, as confirmed by the Yemeni Armed Forces.

A significant number of American strikes have reportedly focused on civilian infrastructure, resulting in numerous casualties and injuries among non-combatants.

The Yemeni armed forces have asserted that the recent acts of violence will only bolster the Yemeni people’s resolve and commitment to their unwavering stance of supporting the oppressed Palestinian population, fulfilling what they deem a religious, moral, and humanitarian obligation.

Yemeni military actions targeting Israel have successfully led to the closure of the Eilat port, located in the southern part of the contested region, inflicting considerable economic disruptions on Israeli interests.

The Yemeni Armed Forces have declared their intention to continue their assaults until Israel concludes its ground and air operations in Gaza.

The head of the Ansarullah resistance movement recently stated that increased U.S. aggression against Yemen has not succeeded in halting Yemeni resistance activities aimed at supporting the people of Gaza and safeguarding Israeli vessels in the Red Sea.

In a statement delivered on April 4, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi accused the United States of escalating its military operations in Yemen, stating that the number of assaults had surpassed 90 on certain days. He claimed these actions were in alignment with U.S. backing for Israel’s war efforts in Gaza.
