Yemeni Armed Forces have carried out a retaliatory operation against a strategic Israeli military position north of the Negev Desert, as part of their unflinching support for Palestinians plagued by the Israeli genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the spokesperson for the Yemeni military, announced in a statement that the Arab nation’s missile units targeted Nevatim Airbase, located 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) southeast of Beershea, on Saturday, using a homegrown Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile.
He added that the missile strike could successfully achieve its desired objectives, and the Israeli military’s anti-air missile systems failed to intercept the projectile.
Saree underscored that the Yemeni forces will continue to confront the US acts of aggression against their homeland, will not cease developing their military capabilities, will put up more steadfastness, and will offer greater support to the oppressed Palestinian nation.
The senior Yemeni military official stated that the Yemeni Armed Forces will not stop their operations until Israel’s ground and aerial offensives in Gaza end, and the total siege is completely lifted.
In reaction to the atrocities committed by Israel in Gaza and the aggression of the US and UK against Yemen, the Yemeni Armed Forces have initiated a series of strikes aimed at Israeli, American, and British interests in the Red Sea and adjacent regions.
As the genocidal war on Gaza escalated, the Yemenis enacted a strategic blockade on essential maritime routes, intending to obstruct the delivery of military supplies to Israel and urge the international community to take action regarding the ongoing humanitarian emergency in Gaza.
