The Sana’a government forces announced that they targeted several American and Israeli ships, including some violating the ban on entering ports in occupied Palestine, as well as two American destroyers, in the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea.
The spokesman for the Sana’a forces, Yahya Sari, said in a statement: “The naval forces and the missile force of the Yemeni armed forces carried out three joint operations as follows:
– The first operation targeted the American ship ‘LAREGO DESERT’ in the Indian Ocean.
– The second operation targeted the Israeli ship ‘MSC MECHELA’ in the Indian Ocean.
– The third operation targeted the ship ‘MINERVA LISA’ in the Red Sea for violating the decision to ban entry to the ports of occupied Palestine.”
In his statement, Sari added: “With God’s help, the drone air force targeted two American war destroyers in the Red Sea in two qualitative operations, and the operations successfully achieved their goals, thanks to God.”
The statement continued: “The Yemeni armed forces continue to support the Palestinian cause until the aggression stops and the siege on the Palestinian people in Gaza is lifted.”
Since late last year, the Sana’a government forces have begun targeting Israeli ships and those associated with them in the Red and Arabian Seas before announcing the extension of their operations to parts of the Indian Ocean. Recently, they announced the start of the fourth phase of escalation against ships “even in the Mediterranean Sea” to support Palestinians in Gaza. They claim that their operations against “Israel” will continue until the latter stops its genocide in Gaza and lifts the siege.
In response, the US and the UK launched airstrikes on Yemen, prompting the Sana’a government forces to announce that their operations would include targeting American and British commercial and military ships in response to what they called “American and British aggression.”
On February 19, 2024, the European Union announced the launch of a military operation named “Aspis” led by Italy in the Red Sea, while the United States announced the launch of an operation named “Guardian of Prosperity,” both aiming to counter the attacks carried out by the Sana’a government forces against “Israel.”
