Statement issued by the Yemeni Armed Forces:
In victory for the oppressed Palestinian people and in response to the Al-Mawasi massacre in Khan Yunis committed by the Israeli enemy.
The Yemeni Armed Forces carried out three qualitative military operations as follows:
The first was carried out by the naval forces, the missile force, and the air force, using a number of boats, drones, and ballistic missiles, targeting the ship “BENTLEY I” in the Red Sea.
The second operation targeted the oil tanker “CHIOS Lion” in the Red Sea with an unmanned boat, and the hit was accurate and direct, thanks be to God.
The two ships were targeted because the companies that own them violated the decision to ban entry into the ports of occupied Palestine.
The third operation was carried out by the Yemeni Armed Forces in cooperation with the Iraqi Islamic Resistance in the Mediterranean Sea, targeting the ship (Olvia), and the operation achieved its goal successfully, thanks be to God.
The continuation of the Israeli aggression in committing massacres against our brothers in Gaza will only push the Yemeni people, its armed forces, and its faithful, struggling leadership to carry out more support operations and joint operations with the Iraqi Islamic Resistance in support of and victory for the oppressed Palestinian people. These operations will not stop except by stopping the aggression and lifting the siege on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.
