A senior member of Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement says the country’s armed forces will expand the scope of their military operations to target installations deep inside the Israeli-occupied territories if the regime forges ahead with its genocidal war on Gaza.

Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a member of Ansarullah's political bureau made the remarks late on Saturday, stressing that the Zionist regime is trying its hardest to obscure the extent of damage caused as a result of Yemeni offensives.

“We managed to completely suspend the shipping route to Israel through the Red Sea,” Bukhaiti noted.

His comments came only a few hours after the Yemeni Armed Forces said they had launched a large-scale drone strike against “sensitive” targets in the occupied territories in a show of support for Palestinian people in the besieged Gaza Strip. 

“A large squadron of unmanned aerial vehicles carried out a military operation against sensitive targets in the Umm al-Rashrash area [of the Port of Eilat] in the southern sector of the occupied lands.”
