SANA’A (Dispatches) – The
Yemeni armed forces declared readiness for a prolonged war with the Zionist regime, following fresh drone and missile strikes targeting Tel Aviv in response to the regime’s ongoing assault and blockade on Gaza.
The Yemeni armed forces have carried out fresh operations targeting Israeli military sites in Tel Aviv, vowing to continue their strikes until Israel ends its aggression on Gaza and lifts the blockade.
Yemeni army spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced on Thursday that a drone successfully struck an Israeli military target in Tel Aviv.
Saree reiterated Yemen’s readiness for a prolonged war with Israel, emphasizing that operations will persist until the siege on Gaza is lifted.
The latest drone strike followed an earlier missile attack on central parts of the occupied Palestinian territories.
Saree said the operation involved two Palestine-2 hypersonic missiles, which caused significant damage and forced settlers into shelters.
The Zionist regime’s warplanes conducted strikes on Yemen, targeting energy infrastructure, including an oil facility and power plants in Sana’a. The Israeli military also hit the port city of Hudaydah, killing nine people and leaving a trail of destruction.
Earlier on Thursday, Saree reported that Yemeni missile forces targeted two “sensitive Israeli military sites” in Tel Aviv using Palestine-2 ballistic missiles.
He described the attack as a “legitimate response” to Israeli strikes on civilian facilities in Sana’a and Hudaydah, including power stations.
Meanwhile, the leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement says the recent grab of Syrian lands and territories amid turmoil in the Arab country is part of the Zionist entity’s so-called ‘Greater Israel’ scheme.
“The Israeli enemy pursues a plan called the David’s Corridor, which seeks to grab more lands and extend toward the US-occupied and Kurdish-held areas on the banks of the Euphrates River,” Abul-Malik al-Houthi said in a televised speech Thursday.
He touched on Israel’s dream of reaching the Euphrates, saying the regime sees the situation as just ripe since there is no obstacle to its inroads in Syria.
The Israeli military, he said, is destroying Syria’s military facilities which belong to the Arab nation and are necessary to confront the Tel Aviv regime’s acts of aggression.
The Ansarullah leader hit out at Syria’s new rulers for not doing anything to protect strategic weapons and military premises in the country, leaving them vulnerable to Israeli attacks.
“The Israeli enemy’s destruction of Syria’s defense capabilities represents a criminal aggression, a blatant violation, and an assault on its national sovereignty,” he said, according to Press TV.
He also warned that Israel is pursuing a plan to occupy fertile lands in southern Syria.
