Houthis launch drone attacks against Israel and US ships

The Houthis in Yemen announced on Tuesday evening that they had launched several military operations against Israeli targets in Jaffa and Ashkelon, as well as three American supply ships and two destroyers. The movement has been carrying out such attacks “in support of the oppressed Palestinian people and in response to the American-British aggression” against their country.

“The naval forces, the air force and the missile force carried out a qualitative military operation in which they targeted three American supply ships after they left the port of Djibouti, which had previously carried out aggression against Yemen,” said Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree. “They also targeted two American destroyers in the Gulf of Aden that were accompanying the supply ships. The operation was carried out with a number of missiles and drones, and the operation achieved its goals.”

Saree pointed out that the targeting of these ships and destroyers is the second operation of its kind in the past ten days.

“In another context,” he said, “the air force carried out two military operations against military targets in the areas of Jaffa and Ashkelon in occupied Palestine using two drones this morning. The operations were successful.”

The spokesman ended by saying that the Yemeni armed forces will continue to carry out their “support operations for the Palestinian resistance and defend Yemen until the [Israeli] aggression stops and the siege on the Gaza Strip is lifted.”
