Yemeni Armed Forces and the Islamic Resistance in Iraq carried out another joint operation against the Israeli regime in retaliation for the genocide in Gaza.
In a statement, Yemen’s Armed Forces said on Friday morning that a vital Israeli target was struck in the occupied port city of Umm al-Rashrash, also known as Eilat.
It added that the resistance forces successfully hit the target with several drones.
The Yemeni Armed Forces stressed that they will continue these joint military operations until the Israeli aggression in Gaza stops and the siege on the Palestinian people is lifted.
The leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah has said that the battle against Israel is now at its height after the regime assassinated Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr.
“The Zionist regime’s crime of assassinating Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr has greatly impacted the region’s state of affairs,” Abdul-Malik al-Houthi said on Thursday afternoon.
The Ansarullah chief said the recent assassinations have had a significant impact on the entire West Asia.
Ever since the onset of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza in October, the Yemeni forces have carried out scores of operations in support of the war-hit Gazans, striking targets throughout the occupied Palestinian territories, in addition to targeting Israeli ships or vessels heading towards ports in the occupied territories.
The attacks have forced some of the world’s biggest shipping and oil companies to suspend transit through one of the world’s most important maritime trade routes. Tankers are instead adding thousands of miles to international shipping routes by sailing around the continent of Africa rather than going through the Suez Canal.
