Yemen Vows Retaliation for Israeli Strike on Hudaydah
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - The Yemeni Navy has announced plans to target Tel Aviv once more in retaliation for Israel's recent airstrike on the Red Sea port of al-Hudaydah.
"Our response to the Zionist aggression against Hudaydah port will be implemented in the near future by targeting Tel Aviv once again," Yemeni Navy spokesman Rafiq al-Jand said on Sunday, adding that the city has recently been included in Yemen’s list of targets.
"The Yemeni Armed Forces have decided to gradually increase the scope of their operations against the occupiers due to the Zionist regime’s continued assault on Gaza and massacre of innocent Palestinian citizens," he told the Palestinian news agency Quds News Network.
On Saturday, Israeli warplanes targeted buildings, oil facilities, and a power station in Hudaydah, killing at least six people and injuring 83, many of them with severe burns.
The Israeli raid came a day after Yemeni forces fired a drone at Tel Aviv, which is at least 1,800 kilometers away from their country.
Mohammed Abdulsalam, the spokesman for Yemen's Ansarullah movement, warned on Sunday that there would be “no red lines” in the Yemenis’ response to Israel.
