2nd Major Strike Launched by Yemen against Israeli Targets
It came on Saturday amid ongoing unprovoked American-Israeli aggression targeting the Islamic Republic and regional resistance movements.
In a statement on Saturday, the Yemeni Armed Forces said they had fired "a barrage of cruise missiles and drones targeting several vital and military sites belonging to the Zionist enemy in southern occupied Palestine."
The strike that, according to the servicemen, "successfully achieved its objectives," marked the second one of its type shortly after the servicemen unleashed a barrage of ballistic missiles against sensitive and strategic Israeli targets lying in the southern areas.
The support operations, codenamed the Holy Jihad Battle, had been announced on Saturday by spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree.
Commenting on the second strike, the forces said they carried it out in support of "Iran, the land of pride, honor, and defiance" as well as in solidarity with Palestinian, Lebanese, and Iraqi resistance factions.

The United States and the Israeli regime began their latest bout of unlawful aggression targeting the Islamic Republic late last month. Simultaneously, they escalated their attacks on various resistance movements throughout the region.
The Saturday statement noted that the Yemeni support strikes were, in a broader context, seeking to confront "the Zionist scheme" targeting the region – a reference to the Israeli regime's ambitions to expand the areas under its occupation.
The statement noted that the strikes coincided with the Islamic Republic's and the regional resistance groups' retaliatory strikes against American and Israeli targets throughout the region.
The Yemeni Armed Forces concluded by affirming that they would sustain their strikes in line with "their religious, moral, and humanitarian duties until the criminal enemy ceases its attacks and aggression."
