Yemen Intensifies Campaigns Against ‘israeli’ and US Interests Amid Ongoing Tensions

The Yemeni Armed Forces initiated a series of operations targeting Israeli and US interests within the occupied Palestinian territories, as well as in Yemeni airspace.

Yemeni forces successfully downed a US MQ-9 drone over the Hajjah governorate using a domestically produced surface-to-air missile, according to a declaration by the group’s spokesman, Brigadier General Yahya Saree.

According to the statement, the action was taken as a countermeasure to the continued American hostilities towards Yemen, citing the severe attacks against the Yemeni population.

The estimated average unit cost of an MQ-9 drone stands at approximately $33 million, indicating that the United States has incurred losses surpassing $600 million due to the downing of drones in Yemen.

**Missile and Drone Attacks**

The Yemeni Armed Forces have launched a significant offensive against key Israeli sites in the occupied territories. During these operations, Yemen deployed two ballistic missiles, one of which was a hypersonic missile, targeting an Israeli military installation and Ben Gurion Airport.

A Yemeni drone has reportedly struck a crucial Israeli target within the occupied territories.

In a statement, Yemeni forces announced that their operations successfully met their targets, resulting in the temporary closure of Ben Gurion Airport for approximately an hour. The actions reportedly caused panic and confusion among the residents, leading millions to seek refuge in shelters.

Yemen has pledged to persist with actions targeting American and Israeli interests, citing the ongoing situation in Gaza and what it describes as U.S. aggression against Yemen. The commitment to continue operations reflects growing tensions and underscores the region’s complex geopolitical climate.

The statement emphasized that, despite any potential consequences, Yemen remains unwavering in its commitment to supporting the Palestinian cause. It asserted that both Israeli and American parties should understand that Yemen—comprising its leadership, citizens, and military—will not retreat from its firm stance of endorsing and defending the Palestinian people, maintaining its religious, ethical, and humanitarian responsibilities.

**US Conducts Military Strikes in Yemen**

Yemeni media sources have reported that strikes conducted by the United States on the capital city of Sanaa have resulted in the deaths of six individuals and left more than a dozen others injured.

Al-Masirah Channel reported on Sunday that a pair of US airstrikes targeted the Al-Yatmah region within the Khab and Al-Sha’af District of Al-Jawf governorate in northern Yemen.

In Yemen, a series of recent U.S. airstrikes have resulted in the deaths of numerous individuals. The strikes have reportedly impacted civilian areas, leading to the destruction of families, the elimination of military sites, and the deaths of soldiers.
