00:00Brigadier General Yahya Sari, the spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces, made a significant
00:22announcement in a video statement on Wednesday.
00:26Sari revealed that the forces had successfully targeted a vessel identified as Tutor in the
00:33Red Sea using a drone, both several drones and ballistic missiles.
00:39He explained that the ship was attacked for violating a ban imposed by SANAs on vessels
00:45travelling towards the ports of the occupied Palestinian territories.
00:51The operation led to severe damage to the ship and it is at risk of sinking, Sari noted.
00:59He issued a stern warning to all companies, cautioning them against dealing with the Israeli
01:05enemy and bringing their ships to the ports of occupied Palestine.
01:10He emphasised that any such ships would be targeted in the forces' area of operations.
01:17The Yemeni Armed Forces have carried out numerous such operations since October 7 attack.
01:25In addition to targeting vessels heading towards the ports of the occupied Palestinian territories,
01:31the Yemeni forces have been striking various targets across those territories.
01:36These actions are in direct response to the ongoing Israeli war on Gaza.
01:41Brigadier General Sari further detailed the cooperation between the Yemeni forces and
01:47Iraq's Islamic Resistance, an umbrella group of what they call anti-terror fighters.
01:54Together, they have carried out joint operations in retaliation for the war on Gaza.
02:01The first joint operation targeted a vital location in the city of Ashdod, situated in
02:07the central part of the occupied territories, using cruise missiles.
02:12The second operation aimed at an important target in the city of Haifa, located in the
02:17northern part of the territories, using several drones.
02:22Both operations successfully achieved their objectives, Sari asserted confidently.
02:28This cooperation between the Yemeni forces and the Iraqi fighters is not unprecedented.
02:34They have joined forces on multiple occasions to retaliate against the Israeli regime's
02:40actions in Gaza.
02:42Sari concluded his remarks by pledging that the Yemeni forces would continue their operations
02:49as long as the Israeli regime maintained its war and siege against the coastal strip.
02:55This message is clear warning to those who violate their imposed bans and a statement
03:01of solidarity with the people of Gaza amidst the ongoing conflict.
