The Yemeni Armed Forces have announced two significant operations targeting both Israeli and American military interests, in a continued show of support for the Palestinian resistance against the Israeli occupation.

In an official statement, Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree confirmed that a drone operation had successfully struck an Israeli military site located in the occupied area of Jaffa, Tel Aviv. The attack is part of Yemen's ongoing military campaign in solidarity with Palestine, amid the Israeli regime’s war on Gaza.

“The operation was carried out with precision and achieved its intended objectives,” Saree said, without disclosing further details about the scale of the damage or the type of drone used.

In a separate development, the Yemeni Armed Forces reported that their air defense units managed to shoot down a United States reconnaissance drone over the northern province of Saada. The unmanned aerial vehicle was identified as a Giant Shark F360, and was downed using a surface-to-air missile.

This marks another escalation in Yemen’s confrontational stance against what it describes as foreign aggression and occupation in the region.

Since the launch of the brutal Israeli assault on Gaza on October 7, following the Palestinian resistance’s surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, Yemen has openly declared its alignment with the Palestinian cause. The country’s armed forces have since intensified their operations targeting Israeli and allied assets, particularly in the Red Sea region and beyond.

Yemen’s actions underscore a growing regional dimension to the conflict in Gaza, as multiple actors rally in defiance of Israeli and Western military activities in the Middle East. (ILKHA)
