Yemen’s Armed Forces announce striking a military base near the city of Jaffa in Tel Aviv with a hypersonic ballistic missile in a “high-profile operation.”
“Rocketry Force carried out a high-profile military operation targeting the Nahal Sorek military base southeast of Jaffa,” the forces’ spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree said in a statement on Monday, Yemen’s al-Masirah television network reported.
Saree identified the missile deployed during the operation as a Palestine-2 projectile.
“The strike was accurate, resulting in a fire breaking out in the vicinity of the targeted location,” he added.
According to the spokesman, the operation came “in support of the oppressed peoples of Palestine and Lebanon, and in support of the Palestinian and Lebanese resistances, and as part of the fifth stage of [Yemen’s] escalation [against the Israeli regime].”
This is not the first time that the forces have fired the projectile towards the occupied territories.
The strike came amid the Israeli regime’s October 2023-present genocidal war and concomitant siege on the Gaza Strip and deadly escalation against Lebanon, which have respectively claimed the lives of more than 43,600 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and at least 3,136 Lebanese.
Besides conducting hundreds of such operations, the forces have been targeting Israeli ships as well as vessels heading towards or away from the territories as a means of piling up economic pressure on the regime.
“The Yemeni Armed Forces will continue their military operations, which will not cease until the aggression stops, the siege on Gaza is lifted, and the aggression against Lebanon ends,” Saree stated.
