The spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces has announced that the military units will target all ships owned or operated by Israeli companies or carrying the Israeli flag, in a move to support Palestinian people amid Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip.
Brigadier General Yahya Saree, in a statement on Sunday, called on all countries to withdraw their citizens working on the crews of any such vessels.
The statement came a day after an unnamed Yemeni military official told Lebanon’s Arabic-language al-Mayadeen television news network that the Yemeni Armed Forces are prepared to target any Israeli vessel, whether in the Red Sea or any spot that Israeli officials could not expect.
On November 9, Yemeni Armed Forces launched a batch of ballistic missiles at various sensitive targets lying across the southern part of the occupied territories.
