What is the purpose of escalating attacks on Yemen?

The United States, Britain and the Zionist regime of Israel have once again launched joint and fierce attacks on Yemen. The US and British strikes last Thursday targeted weapons depots south of Sanaa and in the northern province of Amran. In response, the Yemeni army launched three drone strikes on occupied Palestinian territories.

The Israeli army also announced in a statement on Friday that its warplanes had targeted military installations and infrastructure at the Hazaz base and military infrastructure in the ports of Hudaydah and Ras Issa on the west coast and inside Yemen.

Also last Friday, Israeli Army Radio confirmed that the regime had carried out attacks on Yemen and announced that the Israeli Air Force had attacked Yemen with 20 warplanes. The Zionist news agency announced that the forces targeted three key locations by dropping more than 50 bombs.

The attacks indicate that the United States, Britain and the Zionist regime are increasingly focused on the Yemen issue. Yemen entered the war 40 days after the Israeli apartheid regime began its genocide against the people of the Gaza Strip, by attacking ships associated with the regime. Yemen has been blocking cargo ships heading to Israeli ports by attacking them and increasing the economic costs of the Zionist regime in the war on Gaza, which has been a great success.

Another point is that the United States and Britain, which took on the role of confronting Yemen in order to support and defend the Zionist regime of Israel, have been carrying out frequent attacks on Yemen. However, these attacks not only did not prevent the Yemenis from attacking ships heading to the occupied Palestinian territories, but in self-defense, the Yemenis have carried out attacks on American aircraft carriers, American and British ships, and various Israeli locations.

A Yemeni military statement said: "We targeted the US aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman and several warships in the northern Red Sea with a number of missiles and drones." The statement added that the operation thwarted a new enemy air strike, which was planned to be carried out from the USS Harry Truman, and forced it to leave the waters of the northern Red Sea.

There are several important points to note about the attacks by the United States, Britain, and the Zionist regime against Yemen.

The first point is that the United States and Britain, as well as the regime occupying the holy city of Quds, did not have a correct assessment of the military capabilities of the Yemenis. For this reason, experts believe that the unprecedented operation of the Yemeni Army, in addition to hindering the efforts of the United States and Britain to break the naval blockade against Israel, has demonstrated military power that Washington was unaware of, and has indeed disrupted the balance of power.

The second point is that the US, UK and Israel want to create a "new Syria" in Yemen through their attacks. The attacks on Yemen's infrastructure, especially power plants, are also being carried out with this aim. In fact, their goal is to create a state of public discontent, thus paving the way for internal conflicts in Yemen and ultimately for the government in Sanaa to lose public support. However, this plot is also said to be a miscalculation, because after the attacks hundreds of thousands of Yemenis held large demonstrations in support of the government and in defense of the Palestinian people.

The third point to note is that the continuous attacks could not stop the Yemenis from defending the people of Gaza. On this basis, the Yemeni Army statement said: "We continue to emphasize our duty to defend the oppressed Palestinian people, and our operations will never stop unless the Zionist regime's attacks on the Gaza Strip and its siege are ended.
