American and British forces launched five airstrikes on Yemen's Harf Sufyan district in Amran Governorate, north of the capital Sanaa.

The Yemeni al-Masirah channel reported the attack early Friday, marking yet another escalation against the resilient Yemeni people.

This act of aggression comes hot on the heels of a daring operation by the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF), who successfully targeted the US aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman and its accompanying warships in the northern Red Sea using a coordinated attack of cruise missiles and drones.

The YAF's action was a direct response to ongoing hostile maneuvers by the US against Yemen, highlighting the resilience and strategic capability of Yemeni forces in defending their sovereignty. This latest wave of aggression by the US and UK coincides with a pivotal moment, just days after the announcement of a ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal between "Israel" and the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza, set to begin on Sunday.

The Sanaa-based Yemeni government has issued stern warnings to the US, UK, "Israel," and any other adversaries contemplating further provocations against Yemen. Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, leader of the Ansar Allah movement, has vocally reaffirmed Yemen's unwavering support for the Palestinian cause, stating in a televised address, "Our military operations will continue to support our brothers in Palestine should Israeli aggression persist." He emphasized that the Yemeni forces are prepared to respond decisively to any violation of the ceasefire, including massacres or intensified sieges in Gaza.

As the international community watches, the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, which includes a prisoner swap, awaits final approval from the Israeli security cabinet. This agreement represents a beacon of hope for peace, yet the actions of the US and UK in Yemen cast a shadow over this fragile prospect, illustrating the broader conflict dynamics at play.

Yemen stands resolute, with its leadership and people demonstrating a staunch commitment to national defense and solidarity with the Palestinian struggle. The international community must acknowledge and respect Yemen's right to defend itself against such unwarranted aggressions. (ILKHA)
