Yemen launched a series of bold military strikes against occupied Palestine over the past 24 hours, targeting key facilities with advanced hypersonic missiles. The Yemeni Armed Forces announced that the attacks, which included a precision strike on a military site in the Tel Aviv area, were carried out in solidarity with the Palestinian resistance in Gaza facing a brutal Israeli assault.

Brigadier General Yahya Saree, spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, declared the strikes a resounding success, with the missiles evading Israeli air defenses and hitting their targets with remarkable accuracy. The attacks sent shockwaves across ‘Israel’, with sirens blaring in major cities and over 1.5 million settlers seeking shelter.

The statement warned of broader regional consequences should the Israeli aggression on Gaza continue unchallenged. “The entire nation will bear the consequences of silence, betrayal, and submission,” the Yemeni Armed Forces declared.
“The silence, betrayal, and submission of regional powers will only embolden the enemy’s expansionist ambitions,” the statement declared. “What is happening in Gaza today is a harbinger of what will befall other nations if this threat is not confronted head-on.”
On Friday, the Yemeni Armed Forces executed a precision strike against a critical Israeli facility in occupied Haifa using a hypersonic ballistic missile—the second such launch within hours. Brigadier General Yahya Saree, spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, confirmed the missile hit its target with remarkable accuracy, forcing hundreds of thousands of settlers to seek shelter.
This attack followed an earlier strike targeting the Israeli occupation’s Ramat David airbase in Haifa using a Palestine-2 missile, marking a significant escalation in Yemen’s declared support for Palestinian resistance in Gaza. Israeli media reported a fire in the northern town of Tamra caused by debris from an interceptor missile launched against the Yemeni projectile.
In response, US warplanes conducted fresh airstrikes early Saturday across several northern Yemeni provinces. The Official Yemeni News Agency reported eight strikes on the Khabb and al-Sha’af district in al-Jawf province and another on Bani Hashish district in Sanaa province. Yemeni media also reported a US airstrike on Harf Sufyan district in Amran.
Despite escalating US strikes on Yemen and the recent participation of British forces in the attacks, Yemeni authorities have pledged to continue their military campaign until the Israeli occupation’s assault on Gaza is halted.
