The operations are part of the “fifth stage of the supportive stages in the battle of the promised conquest and the holy jihad.”
According to the statement, the first strike targeted “a vital and sensitive target of the Israeli enemy in the occupied area of Yafa,” successfully achieving its objectives.
The second operation focused on “the industrial zone of the Israeli enemy in the occupied area of Askalan,” where a drone reportedly struck its target with precision.
The Yemeni Armed Forces noted that these actions were conducted to “support and back the oppressed Palestinian people” and to retaliate against the massacres in Gaza.
They vowed that “these operations will not stop until the aggression on Gaza is halted and the siege is lifted.”
