Brigadier General Yahya Saree, spokesperson for Yemen’s armed forces, announced a successful drone operation targeting two sites in southern Israel some hours ago.

Why it matters:

As the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza, which started in October 2023, is getting intensified, Yemeni forces targeted two sites in occupied Palestine.

What he’s saying:

Brigadier General Yahya Saree, spokesperson for Yemen’s armed forces, said:

"The operation involved four drones, three of them hit Ramon Airport in Eilat (Umm al-Rashrash), and one struck a military target in the Negev."

"It was carried out in solidarity with Palestinians and in retaliation for Israeli 'genocide and starvation' in Gaza."

 

What's next:

The Yemeni armed forces have announced: "The operations will continue until the aggression stops and the siege on Gaza is lifted.”
