The Palestinian Resistance factions commended the actions of the support
fronts in support of the Palestinian people, in retaliation for the blood
of innocent people in Palestine, and in response to the genocidal war.

In a joint statement exclusive for *Al Mayadeen*, the Resistance factions
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/palestinian-factions-hail-yemeni-missile-strike-on-tel-aviv>
described the Yemeni army's operation that targeted the depth of the
occupied territories in Tel Aviv as a "genuine expression of the right of
the Ummah, its peoples, and all the free people around the world to defend
Palestine, al-Quds, and the al-Aqsa Mosque."

The factions stressed that the operation represents a practical and
obligatory contribution to Operation Al-Aqsa Flood from the support fronts
in response to the call of the Palestinian people and marks the "end of an
era in which the Zionist enemy rampaged undeterred and without facing
consequences."

The statement indicated that the Yemeni Resistance, led by Ansar Allah, the
Lebanese Resistance, led by Hezbollah, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, and
all the support fronts are an integral part of the Ummah’s course of
resistance with all its components, factions, and intellectual
orientations. This, according to the factions, was exemplified by the free
people of Jordan in the operation carried out by martyr Maher al-Huwaitat.

The Palestinian Resistance factions reiterated their call to the free
people of the world to escalate acts of Resistance in all its forms,
methods, and means and to confront Zionist-American terrorism wherever it
exists. They also urged everyone to declare a state of mobilization, each
according to their abilities, to put an end to the genocide.

Earlier, the Palestinian Resistance factions issued separate statements
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/palestinian-factions-hail-yemeni-missile-strike-on-tel-aviv>
commending the Yemeni operation in support of Gaza.

The statements come shortly after the top-tier operation
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/saree--yemen-struck-tel-aviv-with-newly-developed-hypersonic>
carried out by the Yemeni Armed Forces, which targeted an Israeli military
site near Tel Aviv on Sunday morning.

The spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya
Saree, announced on Sunday that a new hypersonic ballistic missile launched
from Yemen successfully struck its military target in Tel Aviv.

Saree reported that the Yemeni Armed Forces executed the operation using
the new missile, which traveled approximately 2,040 kilometers and hit its
target in Tel Aviv within just 11.5 minutes.

Israeli air defense systems failed to intercept the missile, he affirmed.

Saree highlighted that this operation is part of the fifth phase of Yemen's
strategic military efforts, showcasing significant advancements in missile
technology. He emphasized that these new technologies are designed to
bypass all US-Israeli surface and maritime defensive systems.

He further asserted that Yemen will not be deterred by geographical
obstacles or the countermeasures of US and UK forces, reiterating Yemen's
commitment to its religious, moral, and humanitarian responsibilities in
support of the Palestinian people.

He warned that "Israel" should anticipate more sophisticated strikes and
operations as Yemen approaches the first anniversary of the Operation
Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7, including responses to "Israel's" aggression on
Hodeidah and ongoing support for the oppressed Palestinians.

It is noteworthy that this is not the first time the Yemeni Armed Forces
have targeted Tel Aviv. On July 19, the YAF's Yafa drone struck an
important Israeli target

in the occupied Palestinian city of Yafa, achieving a direct hit, killing
an Israeli settler and injuring several others.

Consequently, "Israel" launched a series of airstrikes on an oil storage
facility
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-israel--attacks-yemeni-civilian-facilities--sanaa-vows-heav>
in the port city of Hodeidah, killing several Yemeni people and injuring
tens of others.

Following the Israeli aggression on Hodeidah, Saree reiterated that occupied
Yafa is an "unsafe zone"
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/saree-to--israel---yemen-is-with-gaza-no-matter-the-cost--wa>
and that a response to the aggression on civilian facilities is undoubtedly
coming.

The spokesperson emphasized that the YAF "will not hesitate" to strike
vital Israeli targets in the Israeli entity and that operations in support
of the Palestinian people in Gaza will not stop regardless of the
consequences.

He also made it clear that the Yemeni people "are preparing for a long war
with this enemy [Israel] until the aggression on Gaza stops and the siege
is lifted and the crimes committed by the Israeli enemy against the
Palestinian people in Gaza are over."

Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah
movement, also revealed that the Yafa drone strike on Tel Aviv

marked the initiation of the fifth phase of Yemeni operations.
