Tehran, IRNA – Spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces Brigadier General Yahya Saree has said that the Yemeni Armed Forces will continue operations against the Zionist regime and the US in support of Gaza.

The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) will resume their operations against the Israeli occupation after it renewed its aggression on the Gaza Strip on Friday morning, Almayadeen news channel reported citing Brigadier General Saree's announcement on Sunday.

"We will resume targeting the Zionist occupation entity with painful and crushing strikes," Saree confirmed.

The spokesperson stressed that the Armed Forces "halted the navigation of the Zionist enemy's vessels" in the Red Sea "in support of the Palestinian people".

"The [US] managed the war on Yemen, and [it is also] managing the current war on Gaza and Palestine," Brigadier General Saree underlined.

He said that the Yemeni Armed Forces are "engaged in a decisive battle against the Zionist and American enemy, and we will persist until the aggression on Gaza comes to an end".

"Those who aggress against the Yemeni people from the coalition of evil regimes and mercenary gangs are the ones who support and endorse the Zionist entity's brutal aggression on Gaza," he added.

"The Americans and Zionists will be acting in absolute idiocy if they choose to commit an aggression on Yemen," Saree stressed, confirming that the YAF will deliver a "strong and painful" response to such actions.

Turning words into action, the YAF led a successful operation in the Red Sea, seizing an Israeli-owned cargo ship on November 19, 2023. The Yemeni Armed Forces have also launched multiple attack drones, ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles at Israeli targets in occupied Palestine.
