Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement has praised Yemen’s recent attack that hit an Israeli targets near Tel Aviv in retaliation for the regime’s genocidal war on Gaza.

“The brave decision taken by the honorable leadership of Yemen to respond to the aggression is a true expression of the general and unified stance of the axis of resistance on all fronts to proceed with supporting the oppressed Palestinian people and their honorable and valiant resistance to lift the injustice and suffering of them, and to stop the criminal and genocidal war,” Hezbollah said in a statement.

The movement added that the “qualitative” operation conducted by the Yemeni forces “exposed the weakness of this temporary entity at all levels.”

The statement came as the Yemeni armed forces on Sunday struck a military target in Jaffa area, south of Tel Aviv, with a new hypersonic ballistic missile.

Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the Yemeni army’s spokesman, said the long-range advanced projectile “managed to reach its target, and the enemy’s defense systems failed to intercept and confront it.”

Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement, said the recent Yemeni missile attack was part of the fifth phase of escalation against Israel.

He stressed that anti-Israel operations will continue until the regime ends its genocidal war on Gaza.

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, in addition to targeting Israeli ships or vessels heading towards ports in the occupied territories.

Israel launched the war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas waged the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity in response to the Israeli regime's decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.

The regime’s bloody onslaught on Gaza has so far killed more than 41,206 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 95,337 others. Thousands more are also missing and presumed dead under rubble.

Hezbollah and Israel have also been exchanging fire since early October, shortly after the occupying regime launched its war on Gaza.

The movement has vowed to keep up its retaliatory operations as long as the Tel Aviv regime continues its onslaught on Gaza.
