Yemeni Army Attacks Israeli Ship In Gulf Of Aden, Israeli Military Site In Eilat

According to a statement published by the Yemeni armed forces, in a joint military operation, the naval, drone and missile forces of the Yemeni army attacked the Israeli ship MSC UNIFIC in the Gulf of Aden with several ballistic missiles and suicide drones. Also, the Israeli military targets were attacked by several suicide drones in the area of ​​Umm al-Rasharash (Eilat).

“The naval forces, UAV, and the missile forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a joint operation targeting the Israeli ship (MSC UNIFIC) in the Gulf of Aden, with a number of ballistic missiles and drones.” Yahya Saree said. “The UAV Force carried out a targeting operation against number of military targets of the Israeli enemy in the Umm al-Rashrash area, south of occupied Palestine with a number of UAVs, and The operation has successfully achieved its objectives, thanks to Allah.”

The MSC UNIFIC ship is a container ship sailing under the flag of Liberia. This ship was also attacked by several cruise missiles in the Arabian Sea last week.

In the published statement, the Yemeni armed forces once again invited all the Arab and Islamic armies to fulfill their religious, moral and humanitarian duties towards the Palestinian nation and emphasized that the Yemeni operations against the Zionist regime will not stop unless the aggression is stopped and the siege imposed on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is removed.

It should be noted that on July 13, the Israeli regime’s planes attacked Al-Mawasi humanitarian area in Khan Yunis. During this obvious crime, at least 71 Palestinians were martyred and more than 290 others were wounded. A large number of martyrs and injured are women and children, including children less than two years old.

According to statistics gathered by the IWN, the attack on MSC UNIFIC ship mark the 143rd attacks by the Yemeni Armed Forces on illegal ships (Israeli, American, British, and their affiliated ships) in the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Mediterranean Sea.

The Yemeni army has promised that missile and drone attacks against the illegal ships that violate the ban on entering the ports of occupied Palestine will continue until the Israeli and American crimes against the Palestinian people stop.

Since last November, the Yemeni army attacked dozens of vessels affiliated with Israel or owned by the U.S. and the UK in the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea in response to the Israeli war and siege on Gaza.

The U.S. and the UK have carried out hundreds of strikes against AnsarAllah-controlled areas in Yemen since January in an attempt to deter the group and degrade its offensive capabilities, but to no avail.
