News - Yemen: Military expert Brigadier General Abdulghani Al-Zubaidi affirmed that Yemen is now imposing a “bone-breaking” equation on the Zionist entity.

Brig. Gen. Al-Zubaidi stated that Yemen remains unyielding in the face of global powers such as the United States, which, he said, was forced to retreat from the Red Sea humiliated and defeated. He emphasized that Yemen is no longer merely reacting to aggression, but actively initiating attacks through a strategy of escalating, geographically expansive strikes and siege tactics.

He highlighted that the Zionist strikes on Yemen are reactive in nature—provoked by Sana’a’s ongoing and successive operations. Yemen’s campaign, he said, is not spontaneous but part of a deliberate and strategic engagement in the Al-Aqsa Flood battle, now entering its 22nd month. Its goals include establishing a strategic balance with the Zionist enemy, which had long operated with impunity but now finds itself exposed—without a viable target bank or effective intelligence—while Yemen possesses an active and evolving bank of targets deep within occupied territories.

He pointed to the effectiveness of Yemen’s target bank, which has demonstrated its capability by shutting down the port of Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat) and disrupting operations at Lod Airport—known in the Zionist entity as Ben Gurion Airport—causing dozens of international airlines to suspend flights to the entity.

Brigadier Al-Zubaidi stressed that the most significant achievement is Yemen's establishment of a “deterrence equation” against the Zionists. Millions of Zionist settlers rush to shelters in panic and fear with every military operation executed by the Yemeni Armed Forces inside the occupied territories.

He noted that Yemen launched the largest escalatory attack last week deep into Zionist territory, establishing a new equation of absolute geography. The strikes targeted the north, south, and center of the occupied territories, hitting sensitive and precise targets using hypersonic missiles and highly effective drones with destructive capabilities. Yemeni missiles successfully reached their targets without being intercepted.

Al-Zubaidi concluded that the equation Yemen is enforcing today poses a major challenge to the enemy, which “fully understands that any equation it tries to impose on Yemen will end in failure.” Therefore, Yemen has clearly drawn and solidified its strategic goals since October 7—and continues to act upon them.

Since the beginning of the Israeli war on Gaza, the Yemeni Armed Forces have escalated their military engagement in support of the Palestinian people. Positioning themselves as a regional force of resistance, they have launched dozens of long-range missile and drone attacks targeting critical infrastructure within Israeli-occupied territories, particularly in southern regions like Eilat (Umm al-Rashrash), Ashkelon, and areas near Haifa.

These actions are framed as part of a broader Yemeni strategy to enforce an aerial and naval blockade on the Israeli enemy in response to its war crimes and humanitarian blockade of Gaza. By continually threatening key points in occupied Palestine, the Yemeni forces aim to create both material and psychological pressure to halt the assault on Gaza and open humanitarian corridors.

The Yemeni government and Armed Forces have repeatedly stated that their operations are defensive and moral in nature, declaring unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian cause and vowing to continue their strikes until the siege on Gaza is lifted and the aggression ends.
