yemani army conducted two operations within hours and this is approved to the uk and to the us and also to the international community that the uk and us aggression against yemen against yemen territories against the yemani army has failed to undermine the capabilities of the yemani army and to stuff the yemen army's operations in the rityland also in the gulf of aid and the yemany army will ac absolutely keep targeting the american and british ships and also the israeli link ships. this ship was heading towards the occupied ports in palestine. the yemani army will absolutely keep targeting those ships until they stop the war, even if they stop the aggression against yemen. the yemen army will continue its operations until the siege that is imposed against our brothers in palestine uh is ended and also the genocidal war that is being carried out by israel is stopp the israelis they love to see the yemen as only just proxies for iran, but the truth is absolutely different and it
