The spokesman for the Ansarallah-led Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced on 3 October a “successful” military operation that struck a “vital target” in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv with a swarm of Yaffa drones.
“The UAV force of Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a military operation targeting a vital target in the [Tel Aviv] area in occupied Palestine with several Yaffa drones. The operation successfully achieved its objectives, as the drones reached their targets without the enemy being able to [shoot them down],” Saree said in a statement shared on social media.
The Ansrallah official did not give any details about the target of the strike, which he described as being part of the “fifth phase” of Yemen’s military operations in support of the Palestinian resistance in Gaza.
Saree also called on “all Arab and Islamic peoples to [stand in support of] the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples” as the first anniversary of the 7 October Operation Al-Aqsa Flood approaches. He then vowed to continue military attacks against Israel until it halts its aggression on the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.
Earlier on Thursday, the Israeli army claimed it had intercepted a “suspicious aerial target” off the coast of central Israel.
