The Yemeni Armed Forces have declared the execution of two drone military operations targeting Tel Aviv (referred to as occupied Jaffa) and Eilat (Umm al-Rashrash). This announcement was made today, Tuesday, with confirmation that both operations successfully achieved their intended objectives.
Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, detailed that the air force conducted a strike on a military target in the occupied Jaffa area using a “Yaffa” drone, while four “Samad 4” drones targeted military installations in the occupied Umm al-Rashrash area. In his statement, Saree emphasized that these operations represent a “victory for the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples,” expressing solidarity with the courageous resistances in Palestine and Lebanon.

Saree commended the steadfast fighters for their defense against what he termed Israeli-American aggression and its efforts to dominate nations and peoples. The Yemeni Armed Forces reiterated their commitment to supporting the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples until the aggression is repelled and the criminal schemes and expansionist plots are thwarted.
Furthermore, the Yemeni Armed Forces called upon all Arab and Islamic nations to break their silence and engage actively in this critical struggle. Saree remarked that the current moment marks the first anniversary of the initiation of this significant battle, asserting that it will persist until the anticipated victory is realized.
Israeli media reported the launch of a hypersonic missile from Yemen aimed at “Gush Dan,” which encompasses Tel Aviv, the central region, and a small portion of the southern region. A loud explosion was reportedly heard in Tel Aviv, prompting over one and a half million residents to seek shelter. In related news, the British Trade Operations Authority indicated that they received a report regarding an incident approximately 97 nautical miles northwest of the Yemeni city of Hodeidah, where a ship claimed to have been attacked by a drone boat.
