Yemeni armed forces and Iraqi resistance groups have carried out operations against Israeli-linked vessels and targets in the occupied territories amidst Israeli aggression in Gaza and Lebanon. Yemeni forces targeted the American oil tanker OLYMPIC SPIRIT in the Red Sea and the Malta-flagged container ship St. John in the Indian Ocean. These attacks were in violation of Yemen’s ban on ships heading to Israeli ports. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq also announced a new operation targeting a vital site in the port city of Eilat using drones.
The resistance groups’ actions are in response to Israeli aggression against Palestinians, including children, women, and the elderly. These groups vow to continue targeting strategic installations in the Israeli-occupied territories as part of their resistance efforts. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has been actively attacking Israeli and American targets in retaliation for the genocidal war on Gaza and US support for Israel.
These operations highlight the ongoing conflict in the region and the resistance against aggression from occupying forces. The Yemeni armed forces and Iraqi resistance groups remain committed to supporting Palestine and Lebanon in the face of continued attacks.
