Yemen vows another attack on Tel Aviv, says ‘countdown begins’
The Yemeni Navy says it will target Tel Aviv once again in response to Israel’s deadly airstrike on the Red Sea port of al-Hudaydah.
“Our response to the Zionist aggression against Hudaydah port will be implemented in the near future by targeting Tel Aviv once again,” Yemeni Navy spokesman Rafiq al-Jand said on Sunday, adding that the city has recently been included in Yemen’s bank of targets.
“The Yemeni Armed Forces have decided to gradually increase the scope of their operations against the occupiers due to the Zionist regime’s continued assault on Gaza and massacre of innocent Palestinian citizens,” he told the Palestinian news agency Quds News Network.
On Saturday, Israeli warplanes targeted buildings, oil facilities, and a power station in Hudaydah, killing at least six people and injuring 83, many of them with severe burns.
The Israeli raid came a day after the Yemeni forces fired a drone at Tel Aviv, which is at least 1,800 kilometers away from their country.
Mohammed Abdulsalam, the spokesman for Yemen's Ansarullah movement, warned on Sunday that there would be “no red lines” in the Yemenis’ response to Israel.
“All sensitive institutions with all its levels will be a target for us”, he told Qatar’s Al Jazeera TV.
In a post on his X account, Abdulsalam Jahaf, a member of Yemen’s Shura Council, said, “The countdown has started.”
US message
Additionally, Yemeni Brigadier General Abdul-Ghani al-Zubaidi said Washington had informed Sana’a through Muscat that the US is not seeking an escalation of tensions.
Meanwhile, Israeli media reported that the regime’s air and naval forces was on high alert for possible Yemeni reprisals.
Other reports said Israeli warplanes had patrolled the occupied al-Quds and the West Bank, as well as the northern parts of the occupied lands.
The Yemeni forces have been targeting the occupied Palestinian territories as well as Israeli ships and vessels affiliated with it since October 7, when the regime in Tel Aviv began a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, killing nearly 39,000 Palestinians.
They have vowed to keep up their operations as long as the regime sustained the offensive against Gaza and a simultaneous siege that it has been enforcing against the Palestinian territory.
