Yemeni Armed Forces have simulated attacks on Israeli military command centers, strategic sites, and illegal settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories during a military exercise, as they continue attacks in the Red Sea in retaliation for the regime’s genocidal war on Gaza.
The war game, codenamed “Our path is destined to al-Quds”, was conducted by forces from the Sixth Region of the Yemeni military, and intended to send a warning to Israel.
Lebanon’s Arabic-language al-Mayadeen television news network reported that the exercise involved various units of the Yemeni army such as the ground force and the aerospace force.
A series of military systems and heavy weapons were employed in the drill. The units taking part in the war game carried out offense operations at strategic levels, and practiced action against the origins of possible attacks.
Yemeni Armed Forces simulated attacks on Israeli military command centers in the Negev desert region as well as neighborhoods in the southern Israeli city of Dimona, and targeted mock American and British logistic supplies intended for the Israeli military.
‘US loses any attacks it wages on Yemen’
Meanwhile, Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, a senior member of Yemen’s Supreme Political Council, warned the United States against launching a ground military campaign against the Arab country, stressing that Washington should bear in mind that it will lose in any war against Sana’a.
“The US should think twice before taking such a decision as it will be the loser of any war that wages against Yemen,” Houthi said.
He empathized that Washington is delusional to think the armament used by Yemeni forces in their retaliatory strikes is foreign-made.
Yemeni Armed Forces have reached a very commendable level of self-sufficiency in the production of essential combat equipment, and their weapons are entirely home-grown, the top-ranking Yemeni official noted.
Yemenis have declared their open support for Palestine’s struggle against the Israeli occupation since the regime launched a devastating war on Gaza on October 7 after the territory’s Palestinian resistance movements carried out the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm.
The Yemeni Armed Forces have said they won’t stop retaliatory strikes.
The maritime attacks have forced some of the world’s biggest shipping and oil companies to suspend transit through one of the world’s most important maritime trade routes.
Tankers are instead adding thousands of miles to international shipping routes by sailing around the continent of Africa rather than going through the Suez Canal.
