News - Yemen: Lebanese military expert Brigadier General Ali Abi Raad stated that the Zionist entity is now suffering from complete military and societal imbalance as a result of continuous strikes from various resistance fronts—particularly Yemen and Iran.

In an interview with Al-Masirah TV, Abi Raad explained that the Israeli occupation army is facing unprecedented exhaustion. He pointed out that the military suffers from low productivity and a manpower shortage exceeding 7.3 percent, due to the repeated extension of reserve soldiers’ service—more than four times over 20 months of fighting. 

He also noted that the “David’s Sling” missile defense system, developed in partnership with the United States, cost Washington over $10 billion in 2024 alone—highlighting Israel’s heavy dependence on foreign funding for its security and survival.

Abi Raad also discussed the growing rift between settlers and the Netanyahu government, pointing to the Israeli police’s handling of recent protests as evidence of rising internal tensions and societal fractures. He noted that settler society is experiencing internal disintegration and a decline in belief in the war’s legitimacy, even among soldiers' families. 

He added that, in just one week, the Palestinian resistance carried out over 20 effective operations against the occupation, fueling public anger and eroding support for the war inside the Zionist entity.

Regarding the escalating Yemeni military operations in support of Gaza, Abi Raad said that precision strikes from Yemen, along with Iranian strikes, have entirely shifted the balance of the battle. He emphasized that missiles launched from distances exceeding 2,100 kilometers, reaching Be’er Sheva and beyond, represent a historic development in the conflict.

Meanwhile, military affairs expert Brigadier General Aziz Rashid affirmed that the continued and diverse military strikes by the Axis of Resistance—especially from Yemen—are placing the Zionist entity under relentless pressure. He noted that the enemy is now operating in constant emergency mode within continuous war rooms.

In his statements to Al-Masirah, Rashid said that Yemen’s advanced operations, using ballistic missiles and drones, are persistently targeting the Israeli enemy’s critical infrastructure—including telecommunications, computer systems, aircraft, and satellites—leading to an effective paralysis of the Israeli military command.

He added that Iran’s strikes exposed the depth of Western involvement, as British aircraft from Cyprus and Jordanian jets attempted to intercept drones and missiles. Rashid confirmed that this costly regional defense network has failed to prevent the wave of attacks.

Rashid also highlighted that the Israeli occupation now moves freely in Syrian territory with tacit approval from armed groups in the Mount Hermon area, calling it a dangerous shift revealing regional complicity. He noted that the resistance’s possession of hypersonic and smart ballistic missiles allows it to penetrate deep into Zionist territory, bypassing air defense systems and upending the traditional balance of power.

He further confirmed that Yemen has developed missiles with payloads reaching one ton, amid ongoing national mobilization and advanced local production. These weapons, he said, are imposing enormous military and political pressure on the occupation.

According to Rashid, the most significant consequence of these operations is the collapse of Israel’s internal front, with public support for the war dropping from 80 percent to less than 50 percent in just days following the escalation.

Earlier, the Yemeni Armed Forces announced the execution of a high-precision military operation targeting a sensitive Israeli enemy site in occupied Be'er Sheva.

Brigadier General Yahya Sare'e, spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, stated that the Rocketry Force carried out a qualitative military strike using a Zulfiqar ballistic missile, successfully hitting a critical Zionist enemy target. He confirmed that the operation achieved its objectives with precision.

The Yemeni Armed Forces have declared they will continue their military operations unless the Israeli enemy halts its ground and aerial offensives on Gaza, where more than 56,300 Palestinians have been killed since the start of the war on October 7, 2023.
