The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) announced a joint military operation targeting an Israeli ship in the Gulf of Aden.

The operation was conducted in support of the Palestinian people and in response to the Israeli "genocidal massacre" in al-Mawasi.

Brigadier General Yahya Saree, spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, stated that the naval forces, air force, and missile force coordinated to attack the Israeli ship MSC UNIFIC using ballistic missiles and drones.

In a parallel operation, the YAF's drone force targeted multiple military sites in the Israeli-occupied Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat) area in southern Palestine. General Saree reported that this drone mission successfully achieved its objectives.

The spokesperson renewed Yemen's call for Arab and Islamic countries to support Palestine and engage against the Israeli occupation. He emphasized Yemen's readiness to conduct joint military operations with any Arab or Islamic entity willing to stand with the oppressed Palestinian people.

General Saree highlighted that the Yemeni Armed Forces are closely monitoring the situation in Gaza, particularly the recent massacres perpetrated by Israeli forces, resulting in hundreds of Palestinian casualties. He criticized the perceived complacency of Arab and Islamic nations, which he claimed has emboldened Israel to continue its actions.

The Yemeni Armed Forces affirmed their commitment to supporting the Palestinian cause and warned of an expansion of their military operations against Israel and its allies if the aggression continues and the blockade on Gaza is not lifted. They vowed to take all necessary steps to ensure justice for the Palestinian people and achieve a genuine victory. (ILKHA)
