They hit critical Israeli targets in Yemen’s latest pro-Palestinian operation.

The spokesman for Yemeni Armed Forces announced the achievements in a statement on Friday, identifying the targets as Ben Gurion, the regime’s busiest airport, a military target in the city of Tel Aviv and another vital location in the city of Ashkelon, located 50 kilometers (31 miles) south of Tel Aviv.

The airport was hit with a “Palestine-2” missile, while the other targets were hit with explosive-laden drones, Brigadier General Yahya Saree noted.

He said the three operations “successfully achieved their goals,” with the one targeting the airport “causing great confusion among the ranks of the Israeli regime, causing millions of usurping Zionists to flee to shelters, and suspending airport operations.”

Numerous such operations have struck countless sensitive Israeli targets since October 2023, when the occupying regime began taking the Gaza Strip under a genocidal war.

The war, which has been compounded with a simultaneous brutal campaign of using starvation as a weapon, has so far claimed the lives of around 62,300 Palestinians, mostly women and children.

The Yemeni solidarity strikes have seen the forces impose a naval and an aerial blockade on the regime.

As part of the naval blockade, the servicemen have been targeting Israeli vessels or ships that are bound for the occupied Palestinian territories, while the aerial blockade has featured their hitting Ben Gurion on numerous occasions.

Adding to the statement, Saree said the servicemen “appreciate and value the heroism and sacrifices” of Palestinian resistance fighters in the Gaza Strip.

The fighters “set the finest examples of standing up to the nation's enemies, sacrificing themselves and everything they have, defending the nation's honor and dignity and rejecting the projects of encroachment and expansionist schemes,” the statement added.

“May the eyes of the cowards never sleep,” it noted, hoping that the regional Resistance Front’s collective pro-Palestinian operations continue to strike fear into the enemy.

As in their previous statements, the forces finally pledged to sustain their strikes as long as the regime kept up the war and its near-total siege of Gaza.
