The Yemeni Armed Forces says it has officially joined the war against the US-Israeli front in support of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Resistance Front in Lebanon, Iraq, and Palestine.

“In implementation of what was stated in the last statement of the Yemeni Armed Forces regarding direct military intervention in support of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the resistance fronts in Lebanon, Iraq, and Palestine, and in view of the continued military escalation, the targeting of infrastructure, and the perpetration of crimes and massacres against our brothers in Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, and Palestine,” the Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman Yahya Saree said in a statement on Saturday.

The Yemeni Armed Forces have carried out the first military operation using a barrage of ballistic missiles targeting sensitive Israeli military sites in southern occupied Palestine, it added.

This operation, it added, coincided with the heroic operations carried out by Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

“By the grace of Allah Almighty, the operation successfully achieved its objectives,” it noted.

It further said that the operation will continue until the aggression against all fronts of the resistance ceases.

On Friday, Saree had warned that they are prepared for direct military intervention if American-Israeli aggression against Iran and the Axis of Resistance continues to escalate.

The statement came nearly a month into the launch of the United States' and the Israeli regime's latest bout of unprovoked aggression targeting the Islamic Republic, which has run in tandem with the escalation of their attacks on regional resistance groups.

According to Saree, in addition to the continuation of the escalation, other factors potentially prompting an intervention by the Yemeni servicemen would include other parties' participation in the ongoing aggression, and the use of the Red Sea to carry out hostile operations against the Islamic Republic or any other Muslim country. "We will not allow that," he asserted.
