Yemen's Armed Forces have engaged US warships in the Red Sea for several hours and launched drone strikes on Israeli military positions near the city of Tel Aviv in continued retaliation for American military aggression against the country and the Israeli regime's war of genocide and siege against Gaza, Press TV reported.
The forces issued a statement on Wednesday, declaring that their missile, drone, and naval units had jointly executed a military operation targeting hostile warships in the Red Sea, including the American aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman.
“The confrontation persisted for several hours,” with Yemeni forces actively engaging and managing developments within the operational area, they added.
Separately, the troops launched drone strikes against Israeli military sites in the occupied city of Yaffa near Tel Aviv with several armed unmanned aerial vehicles.
The latter strikes “successfully achieved their objectives,” the statement noted, reminding that the operations took place “in solidarity with the oppressed Palestinian people in Gaza.”
The forces, meanwhile, emphasized their commitment to resisting American aggression that was targeting the Arab Peninsula nation over its pro-Palestinian operations and reiterated their determination to respond to escalations in kind.
