Yemen hits sensitive Israeli targets in third strike since joining Iran-led resistance

Yemeni armed forces have conducted their third round of strikes against Israeli targets in the occupied territories, targeting sensitive locations.

“With Allah's help and reliance upon Allah, we carried out the third military operation in the ‘Holy Jihad Battle,’ targeting sensitive Israeli enemy targets in the southern occupied Palestine with a barrage of ballistic missiles,” they said in a statement Wednesday.

The operation was conducted jointly with Iranian armed forces and the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah, and successfully achieved its objectives, it said.

“Yemeni armed forces affirm that the enemy's escalation of its aggression, crimes, and attacks against Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, and Palestine will only drive … Yemen to further escalation in the coming period until the aggression stops and the blockade is lifted.”

The Yemeni armed forces officially joined the war against the US and Israel in support of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the resistance front in Lebanon, Iraq, and Palestine on Saturday.

They carried out the first military operation using a barrage of ballistic missiles targeting sensitive Israeli military sites in southern occupied Palestine.

The US and Israel launched their aggression against Iran on February 28, assassinating Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and several high-ranking military commanders.

Hundreds of civilians have also been killed in the aggression so far.  The US-Israeli aggression has also targeted hospitals, schools, universities, among other civilian infrastructure.

Iran’s response has been decisive and strong. The Iranian Armed Forces have been engaged in daily waves of missile and drone operations against US interests across West Asia and Israeli positions in the occupied territories.
