Yemeni Armed Forces Strike Israeli Port, Drones Infiltrate Undetected

The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) announced on Tuesday that they had targeted the industrial zone in the occupied city of Askalan, located about 50 kilometers south of Tel Aviv. The strike was carried out using drones that infiltrated “Israel” undetected.

This operation was part of Yemen’s fifth phase of escalation against the Israeli occupation, undertaken in support of the people of Palestine and Lebanon and their respective resistance movements. According to the YAF’s military media statement, the drone strike successfully and accurately hit its intended target.

“The Yemeni Armed Forces, in response to the crimes of the Zionist enemy in Gaza and Lebanon, will continue their military operations, and these operations will not stop until the aggression stops, the siege on the Gaza Strip is lifted, and the aggression on Lebanon stops,” the statement further read.

This strike comes as the Yemeni Military Media released footage on Sunday of a large-scale military exercise dubbed “To Make Your Faces Wretched,” which simulated the Armed Forces’ response to coordinated and non-standard hypothetical hostile attacks. The exercises showcased the YAF’s advanced capabilities, including a new naval weapon called “Al-Qare’a” – an unmanned submarine capable of creating massive explosions with enhanced stealth to target even the largest U.S. warships.
