The Yemeni Armed Forces conduct drills that simulate raiding and taking control of Israeli settlements as Sanaa prepares for war against Israel.

Tehran - ISNA - The Central Reserve Forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces conducted military drills in Sanaa under the slogan "Yemen is the Pillar Support of Palestine," targeting supposed Israeli occupation sites and settlements in readiness and preparation for a battle against it.

The maneuver began with artillery and missile reconnaissance on Israeli military sites and settlements, followed by raids into these locations from three different routes.

Infantry units seized control of the command and control center of the supposed enemy through a flanking operation on a fourth route. The maneuver also included setting up ambushes for the vehicles and leadership of the Zionist occupation forces, detonating their vehicles, and capturing their leaders.

On the sidelines of the maneuver, Deputy Chief of the General Staff in the Sanaa government, Major General Ali Al-Mushki said the ongoing battle "is not for political or material gains, as some are accustomed to," indicating that the Yemeni people were ready to make sacrifices to support the people of Gaza.

"The Yemeni Armed Forces are fully prepared, determined, and committed to carrying out the directives of the revolution's leader in support of Gaza," Major General Al-Mushki.

He emphasized that "Yemen's stand with Gaza stems from our religious, moral, and cultural duty, dictated by our traditions and dignity as Yemenis," adding that "the armed forces, in all their branches, are ready to undertake any operations they are assigned."

"The great Yemeni people are a pillar of support for the Yemeni Armed Forces in all their tasks and operations," the senior military official added.

Yemen has for months been attacking Israeli military sites in occupied Palestine while pledging to always support Gaza through all means possible.
