Yemen’s strategic attack deep in Tel Aviv.
The tenth month of the Zionist regime’s war against Gaza is passing; A war that has led to an unprecedented genocide and has resulted in widespread global disgust with this regime and its supporters. While the United Nations failed to stop the crimes of the Zionists, and the Western powers not only abandoned their human rights claims, but also sided with Tel Aviv in the genocide against Gaza, the Arab countries did not take any action to defend the people of Gaza. The resistance sided with the people of Gaza and put direct attacks against the Zionists on the agenda. Yemenis are among the main actors of the resistance who directly entered the war against the Zionist regime.
Yemen’s military actions against the Zionist regime
Yemen entered this war last November, one month after the start of the Zionist war against Gaza. The Yemenis’ first action was smart and targeted the ships bound for the occupied lands. The main aim of the Yemeni action against the ships was to increase the economic cost of the Zionist regime’s war against Gaza and to increase the dissatisfaction within the occupied territories from this war. Following this action, hundreds of ships have been forced to divert their route to South Africa, increasing costs. Although the United States, along with England and several other countries, carried out repeated attacks against Yemen in defense of the Zionist regime, the Yemeni attacks did not stop and are continuing.
In addition to the attack against the ships bound for the occupied territories, on Friday, July 29, in an important action, the Yemeni forces targeted the occupied area of ​​Jaffa, which is known as Tel Aviv, with a drone. According to the report of the Zionist media, one Zionist was killed and eight people were injured in this drone attack that Yemen carried out. This was the first time that Tel Aviv was targeted by a drone from Yemen. This military action by the Yemenis is far more important than the attack on the ships bound for the occupied territories because on the one hand, it directly targeted Tel Aviv and on the other hand it will have important consequences.
Consequences of a Yemeni drone attack against Tel Aviv
The Yemeni drone action has several important and obvious consequences, which are:
Publicizing the defense weakness of the Zionist regime
One of the most important consequences of the Yemeni drone attack against the Zionists is that it proved the defense weakness of the Zionist regime more than ever. The weakness of the Zionist regime’s defense had already been proven against the Al-Aqsa storm on October 7, the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Operation Sadiq Promise, as well as the repeated attacks by the Lebanese Hezbollah, but the Yemeni action made this weakness more prominent as the Yemeni drone attack against Tel Aviv from a geographical distance of 2000 km occurred. In June, a Lebanese Hezbollah drone was able to fly over the occupied territories by bypassing the Israeli air defense system. Unlike Lebanon’s Hezbollah, Yemen does not have a geographical border with the occupied territories. The Yemeni drone traveled 2,000 nautical miles in 9 hours to reach Tel Aviv, the most fortified and protected city in occupied Palestine. The heads of this regime, including Lapid and Ben Guer, admitted that Israel’s security had been lost.
resistance; More determined and coherent in the defense of Gaza
The Yemeni drone action against Tel Aviv was a new stage of the military action of the resistance actors against the Zionists and in defense of Gaza. Recently, Lebanon’s Hizbullah’s Hoddh UAV observed, filmed, and photographed large areas of occupied Palestine without being detected and returned. Iraqi resistance also attacked targets in Haifa or Eilat. The Yemeni drone attack showed the permeability and vulnerability of the occupied Palestinian skies more than the actions of the Lebanese Hezbollah and the Iraqi resistance because it traveled more than 2,000 kilometers deep into Tel Aviv without being detected. On the other hand, Yemen is carrying out such military actions against the Zionists while it was engaged in an all-out war with Saudi Arabia for 8 years and suffered heavy losses from this war. However, the military actions of the Yemenis against the Zionists prove that they have a serious will to confront America and the Zionist regime and to stop the genocide in Gaza alongside the Lebanese Hezbollah and the Iraqi resistance.
Proof of the growing trend of Yemen’s military capability
Another of the most important consequences of the Yemeni drone action against Tel Aviv is that it proved the growing trend of the military capability of the Yemeni armed forces. The drone that targeted Tel Aviv was made by Yemenis. In describing this attack, Zionist media wrote that this attack, on a technical level, showed the weakness of Israel’s air defense system against drones that fly at a lower speed and at a lower altitude. Military experts believe that these factors make it more difficult for drones to be tracked by radars and intercepted by surface-to-air missiles. Channel 12 of the Zionist regime reported that this Yemeni drone was advanced and had not been identified as a dangerous target. Therefore, no alarm was sounded for it. This drone was bombed and chose a new route from Yemen to Egypt to navigate and cross over the Mediterranean Sea entered the occupied Palestinian territory and flew at a low altitude.
