The spokesperson for Yemen’s Houthi rebels, General Yahya Sari, announced on Friday an escalation in their military operations, including an attack on the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman in the northern Red Sea.

According to the spokesperson’s announcement, several U.S. warships were also attacked in the same area using cruise missiles and drones.

Speaking during a mass demonstration in Sana’a in support of the Palestinian people, Sari claimed that this operation thwarted a supposed air attack from the aircraft carrier, forcing it to leave the northern Red Sea area. However, no details were provided about the damage caused to the aircraft carrier or other vessels.

Additionally, the Houthi spokesperson detailed an operation against Israeli targets in the occupied territory of Yafa, where he claimed that drones successfully hit all targets.

Sari reiterated the Houthis’ commitment to the Palestinian cause, stating that their operations will not cease until the aggression ends and the siege on the Gaza Strip is lifted.

The Armed Forces of Yemen have intensified their attacks on Israeli targets and ships linked to Israel in the southern Red Sea, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the Gulf of Aden, and the Arabian Sea. These attacks have targeted ships bound for Israel since the start of Tel Aviv’s most recent aggression against the Palestinian people.

In response to these Houthi actions, U.S., British, and Israeli forces have intensified their bombings against Yemen. On Friday, several airstrikes were reported against the Amran governorate, north of the Yemeni capital.

On the same day, hundreds of thousands of demonstrators mobilized in support of Gaza and issued a call to the Palestinian Authority to stop attacks and reprisals against those working for the benefit of the nation, referring to the Palestinian resistance in Jenin. They also emphasized the need to consolidate unity and cooperation.
