US-Israeli airstrikes target Yemen’s Hudaydah as Tel Aviv reeling from missile attack
Dozens of Israeli warplanes have carried out airstrikes on targets in Yemen as the Arab nation’s military forces escalate operations in response to foreign aggression and Israeli atrocities.
Local Yemeni media reports said more than 30 Israeli jets were involved in targeting the port city of Hudaydah on Monday night.
A senior US official confirmed that the aerial raids were being carried out in close coordination with the US, Israel’s biggest benefactor and a complicit in the ongoing brutal military campaign in Gaza.
Yemen’s al-Masirah television channel reported the US had launched 35 strikes since May 4 and targeted several Yemeni provinces, including al-Jawf and Marib.
Since March, the US along with Britain and Israel have launched daily airstrikes on Yemen and claims to have struck more than 1,000 targets in the Arab country.
The campaign aims to halt the Yemeni military’s strikes on Israeli and Israeli-linked vessels in Red Sea shipping lanes as well as their operations that have been hitting targets deep within the occupied Palestinian territories.
The latest Israeli-US aggression comes following a ballistic missile strike from Yemen that hit the perimeter of Ben Gurion International Airport.
The Yemeni military said it carried out a fresh retaliatory operation against Israel in support of the Palestinian people in the besieged Gaza Strip.
Yemen’s Armed Forces spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree said on Sunday the attack forced more than three million Israeli settlers to take shelter.
He said operations at the airport were completely halted for more than an hour.
Saree has said the Yemeni military will continue to remain steadfast and resolute in the face of the American aggression against the Arab nation.
Hazam al-Assad, a senior member of Ansarullah’s political bureau, said on Monday retaliatory strikes by Yemeni armed forces and their planned comprehensive aerial blockade on Israel will soon trigger reverse Israeli migration of from the occupied territories.
