The spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces Brigadier General Yahya Saree said the country’s aerospace units have conducted two operations against strategic positions in the Israeli-occupied territories in retaliation for the Tel Aviv regime’s ongoing atrocities in the Gaza Strip and its unrelenting strikes across Lebanon.
Yahya Saree said in a televised address on Tuesday morning that Yemeni forces struck a vital target near the coastal city of Tel Aviv, using a homegrown and long-range Yafa kamikaze drone.
They also pounded military installations at the Port of Eilat in the southernmost part of the occupied lands with four domestically-developed Sammad-4 (Invincible-4) combat drones.
The Yemeni spokesman said both operations successfully achieved their desired objectives, Press TV reports.
Saree noted that Yemeni Armed Forces salute resilient Palestinian and Lebanese resistance fighters as they are defending their nations and confronting the US-backed Israeli aggression, and reaffirm their practical support for Palestine and Lebanon until Israel is defeated and all its criminal plots and expansionist conspiracies are thwarted.
The Yemeni army also calls upon all Arab and Islamic nations to break their silence and participate actively in this fateful battle, as the first anniversary of the beginning of the Gaza war is approaching.
"We will continue our struggle with God’s help until the promised victory is achieved," Saree added.
In another statement, Yahya Saree announced that the air defenses of the Yemeni Armed Forces shot down an American MQ9 aircraft while it was carrying out hostile missions in the airspace of Saada Governorate.
“This aircraft is the eleventh of its type that our air defenses have succeeded in shooting down during this battle,” he said.
Meanwhile, Israel Defence Forces (IDF) claimed that UAV intercepted over Mediterranean.
