Sana’a’s strictness and the failure of the American coalition

The operations of the Yemeni armed forces continued after the United States formed what it called the “Prosperity Alliance” to protect Israeli ships on December 19, and the double operation was on December 26, in which Sana’a announced that it had targeted the ship (MSC United) with a naval missile and destroyed Umm al-Rashrash with Nasra drones. For the Palestinian people.

It is noticeable that the course of Yemeni military operations against ships has taken another turn since the attack by American forces on December 31, 2014 on Yemeni naval boats in the Red Sea, which claimed the lives of 10 martyrs, and the subsequent American and British aggression on the capital, Sana’a, and several governorates since January 12.

In addition to the inability of the American-British coalition to break the siege on the Zionists, it found itself (involved) in a battle without a horizon, and its ships were like floating ducks, while (ballistic), winged and naval missiles and drones were targeting its ships from deep within Yemeni territory, and in strikes that were the first in Yemen. Military history, which reflects Yemen’s possession of capabilities that Washington was ignorant of and that confounded its calculations and expectations whose extent is unknown, especially in the face of Sana’a’s threat to respond to Washington and London’s aggression, according to observers.

The Deputy Director of Moral Guidance in the Armed Forces, Brigadier General Abdullah bin Amer, revealed that the American side felt on the ground the implementation of the naval blockade from the gate of the Red and Arab Bahrain on the Zionist entity, and Sanaa’s strictness in the face of attempts to breach it, stressing that Sanaa has options to respond to the American escalation at sea. Red, warning against turning the Red Sea into an arena of confrontation as a result of American foolishness.

Regarding the Yemeni military strikes against the enemy entity, Brigadier General Bin Amer said: “The armed forces are working to launch missiles and drones towards occupied Palestine, taking advantage of previous operations, and the matter is related to selecting targets, as well as trying to bypass the American interceptor systems and its tool systems in the region.”

He revealed, “There are specialized bodies in the armed forces that work through study and evaluation of each military operation so that the next military operation will be better in the level of implementation and in setting goals, as well as in trying to reach the goals and record painful strikes against the Zionist entity. They are also working to accumulate their experiences and improve their performance in “It’s all about these strikes.”

Despite Sana’a’s insistence on imposing a naval blockade on the Zionist entity until the end of the siege and aggression against Gaza, and its targeting exclusively of the entity’s ships and recently American and British ships as a result of its foolishness in aggression against Yemen, Sana’a is keen on the security and safety of maritime navigation for the rest of the world, which is what the forces continue to confirm. The Yemeni armed forces and senior Yemeni leaders and politicians.

Statistics on the passage of ships from the Bab al-Mandab Strait prove Sana’a’s sincerity, as the number of ships that have crossed since the start of the Yemeni operations has reached 4,874 commercial ships, meaning that more than 70 ships have crossed daily since the beginning of the Yemeni operations in the Red Sea, as demonstrated by the accuracy of the Yemeni naval operations, which mention the names of the ships. The target, as is clear in its military statements, which also confirms in its statements that it will continue “its operations in the Red and Arab Bahrain against Israeli ships or those heading to the ports of occupied Palestine, until the aggression stops and food and medicine are brought to the besieged Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.”
