Yemen’s Armed Forces have successfully targeted two sensitive and strategic Israeli targets as well as the American aircraft carrier deployed off Yemen’s shores, forcing the latter to flee the region, Press TV reported.
Spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree made the announcement on Saturday after the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu alleged that Tel Aviv reserved the so-called ”right” to resume its already-15-month-long genocidal war against the Gaza Strip any time it saw fit.
Benjamin Netanyahu alleged that the regime could resort to fresh military aggression against the coastal sliver, despite likely implementation of a ceasefire deal between the regime and the territory’s resistance movements.
“The Missile Force of the Yemeni Armed Forces conducted two military operations targeting two strategic sites belonging to the Israeli enemy in the Umm Al-Rashrash region of southern occupied Palestine,” Saree said, referring to the vital port of Eilat and its surroundings that sit on the southernmost tip of the occupied territories.
“The first operation was carried out using a ballistic missile of the Thulfiqar type,” the spokesman said, adding, “The second operation utilized a cruise missile.”
“Both operations successfully hit their targets,” the spokesman noted.
He noted that the Yemen’s Air Force, Missile Force, and Naval Force had also conducted a joint military operation targeting the American aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman and several accompanying warships in the northern part of the Red Sea.
“This operation utilized several drones and cruise missiles and marks the eighth attack on the carrier since its arrival in the Red Sea,” he asserted.
The operation successfully achieved its objectives, forcing the American vessel to leave the region.
