News - Yemen: Military and Strategic Expert confirmed that the qualitative escalation in Yemeni support operations against the Israeli entity—targeting areas from Khadira (south of Haifa) to Be'er Sheva and all the way to Umm al-Rashrash in the far south of occupied Palestine—represents a strategic move.

In an exclusive statement to Almasirah TV on Saturday morning, Brig. Gen. Abdulghani Al-Zubaidi noted that more than half of the Israeli entity’s territory is now within range of Yemeni firepower, redefining the rules of engagement in the region.

He explained that the geographical distribution of targets—from Khadira in the north to Umm al-Rashrash in the south—is not random but part of a calculated battle to send a clear message to the Zionist occupiers: "You are not safe," whether in their so-called "secure" depth or in areas they consider low-risk. 

Militarily: Hosts vital military headquarters, bases, and training camps.

Nuclearly: Located just 30 km from the Dimona nuclear reactor.

Technologically: Considered the entity’s cybersecurity and tech hub, housing a high-tech park and intelligence complexes for global firms like Microsoft.

Targeting such a multi-layered strategic zone confirms that Yemen possesses a clear and precise "target bank" and the capability to strike it. The message is unambiguous: "No part of occupied Palestine is safe."

Al-Zubaidi stressed that the confrontation will continue "with unprecedented intensity and effectiveness," noting Yemen’s ability to develop weapons that outpace air defense systems. Future escalations "may extend beyond Palestine’s geography."

He dismissed Israeli threats—such as those reported by Channel 14 Hebrew about plans for a large-scale attack on Yemen—as "psychological warfare." The Israeli enemy "has no military targets in Yemen and no viable military vision for confronting it."

War of attrition? Impossible due to Yemen’s vast distance and complex terrain.

Limited airstrikes? Already tried by Israel, the U.S., and Britain—with zero results.

"Smart strikes" with media hype? Unlikely, given Yemen’s intelligence readiness.

Any Israeli foolishness in targeting Yemeni civilians (as in Gaza) will force them—and the U.S.—to "pay a heavy price."

Yemen’s ability to shoot down advanced U.S. drones (like the MQ-9 Reaper) proves that any breach attempts will be countered decisively. He warned that Yemen’s response "will not be limited to the Zionist entity but will also include regional states supporting it."

The regimes supporting Israel "have aligned themselves against the Axis of Resistance—now at the forefront of the battle."

Since the onset of the Israeli war on Gaza, Yemen has emerged as one of the most vocal and active supporters of the Palestinian cause, both rhetorically and militarily. Despite facing its own war, humanitarian crisis, and years of blockade, Yemen has leveraged its strategic position and revolutionary leadership to challenge Israeli and Western dominance in the region. 

Since October 7, Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 59,676 Palestinians, most of them women and children, and forced the displacement of nearly the entire population of 2.2 million, reducing much of the coastal enclave to rubble.
