The Future of Resistance: Yemen’s Brave Military Strategy Against Israeli Offensives
In the early morning of December 21, 2024, the Israeli news outlets reported a successful missile and drone strike carried out by Yemeni forces on Tel Aviv. Initially, the Israeli army’s stringent media censorship claimed that the strike resulted in two casualties. However, merely hours later, this figure increased to eighteen.
The significance of the strike is particularly profound when considering Yemen's defensive strategy, especially amid reports regarding Israeli intentions to launch imminent attacks on the Yemeni capital, Sana'a.
The Yemeni leadership's unwavering resolve in the face of grave threats and relentless Israeli attacks reveals a crucial aspect of their military achievements.
This dynamic indicates that as the perceived threat escalates, so too does the intensity of Yemen's retaliatory tactics.
Recent strike by the Yemeni navy targeting the USS Harry S. Truman, the 8th Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, just before its entry into the Red Sea, must be understood within this particularly defensive strategy.
The strategy adopted by the Yemeni army has created a unique situation where the initiative remains firmly in the hands of decision-makers in Sana'a during their confrontations with Israel, often rendering them the dominant force in this ongoing conflict.
