Tehran, IRNA – If the Israeli and the US regimes want to respond to the Yemeni armed forces, which are targeting their interests due to the killings in the Gaza Strip, we will target their sensitive locations and the scope of the war will expand, says Spokesperson for Yemen's National Salvation Government Zaifullah al-Shami.

On Sunday, Al-Shami warned the Israeli and US regimes about any stupidity of attacking the Yemeni armed forces, which has banned any passage of ships to the occupied territories in defense of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Earlier on December 9, Yemeni Army Spokesman Yahya Saree in a statement warned that they will prevent all ships, regardless of their nationality, from heading towards occupied Palestine if Gaza does not receive food and medicine.

The Yemeni army warned all shipping companies against cooperating with the Israeli regime, saying that the ban follows Yemen’s successful operations to prevent Israeli vessels from navigating in the Arab Sea and Red Sea.

Since the Gaza war began on October 7, the Yemeni army has launched a series of operations against Israeli-linked ships in the Red Sea and conducted missile and drone strikes on Israeli positions in solidarity with the Palestinians in the besieged territory.
