Yemeni forces strike Israeli ship, Port of Eilat in solidarity with Gaza

Yemen’s Armed Forces have successfully targeted an Israeli vessel in the Gulf of Aden as well as the Port of Eilat in the southern part of the occupied territories in fresh pro-Palestinian operations.

The forces’ spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced the operations in a video statement on Thursday.

He identified the vessel in question as “MSC Darwin,” saying the target was struck “with a number of appropriate missiles and several drones, successfully achieving the operation’s objectives.”

Saree said the Yemeni forces had also fired “several ballistic and cruise missiles at a number of Israeli targets” in Eilat.

The statement came only a day after the spokesman announced that the forces had targeted two American vessels and an Israeli one in solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, who are enduring a United States-backed Israeli war of genocide.
