Yemen’s Armed Forces have threatened to expand their operations against the Israeli regime and its supporters, reacting to the regime’s earlier horrendous massacre of Palestinians in southern Gaza Strip.
The forces’ spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree delivered the warning on Saturday hours after Israeli airstrikes claimed the lives of at least 90 Palestinians, including women and children, and wounded more than 300 others at the al-Mawasi refugee camp near the Gaza city of Khan Younis.
“The Yemeni Armed Forces are following developments in the situation in the Gaza Strip, the latest of which is the Zionist enemy committing a massacre today that claimed hundreds of martyrs and wounded,” Saree said.
The forces, he added, “will work to take the necessary steps and measures, according to their capabilities, towards true victory for the blood of the Palestinian people, and will not hesitate to expand their military operations against the Israeli enemy and those who stand behind it.”
The bloodbath occurred amid an October-present war by the regime against the coastal sliver that has so far killed at least 38,345 people, mostly women, children, and adolescents.
Ever since the onset of the war, the Yemeni forces have carried out scores of operations in support of the war-hit Gazans, striking targets throughout the occupied Palestinian territories, besides targeting Israeli ships or the vessels that head towards the ports of those territories.
Saree concluded his statement by asserting that the Yemeni operations would last until the regime ceases the aggression and a concomitant siege that it has been enforcing against Gaza.
He, meanwhile, bemoaned the “Arab failure” that, he said, had emboldened Tel Aviv in its crimes against Palestinians.
