Yemeni Armed Forces’ spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree

Sanaa, December 13 (RHC)-- Yemen’s Armed Forces have announced carrying out successful drone strikes against the city of Jaffa near Tel Aviv as well as the city of Ashkelon in the central part of the occupied Palestinian territories in fresh anti-Israeli operations.

The forces’ spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced the developments in a statement on Friday.  “Yemeni Armed Forces announce two military operations targeting occupied Ashkelon and Jaffa, successfully reaching their objectives with drones that bypassed interception systems,” he said.

The forces also carried out a “joint operation” with Iraq’s Islamic Resistance, which is a coalition of anti-terror fighters, against “vital sites in southern occupied Palestine [that] were targeted using multiple drones, achieving successful outcomes.”

The statement vowed that the forces “will continue carrying out operations against Israeli enemy, and until the aggression stops and the siege on Gaza is lifted.”

The forces had carried out similar operations against Tel Aviv and Askelon on Tuesday using unmanned aerial vehicles that “hit their designated targets precisely.”

Yemen has been staging numerous such retaliatory strikes against sensitive and strategic Israeli targets as well as ships sailing towards the occupied Palestinian territories since last October, when the Israeli regime began taking Gaza under a war of genocide and significantly ramped up its already stifling siege on the coastal sliver.

The brutal military onslaught has so far claimed the lives of nearly 44,900 Palestinians, mostly women and children.

Also on Friday, thousands of Yemenis marched on the capital Sana’a’s al-Sabeen Square, repeating their weekly pro-Palestinian protests, and shouting slogans such as “we stay steadfastly by the people of Gaza,” and “we confront the Zionist-American project” targeting Palestinians.
