Yemen has issued the Israeli regime a stern warning about the prospect of Sana’a’s strong retaliation against Tel Aviv’s earlier deadly attacks.
“The brutal Zionist aggression against our country is a failure, and all Zionists must remain on alert, for the response is inevitably coming,” Mahdi al-Mashat, chairman of Yemen's Supreme Political Council, said in a statement on Wednesday.
“The Zionist aggression will give us a greater opportunity to respond to it with all the strength we possess,” he added.
The remarks came after at least 35 people were killed and more than 130 others wounded when Israeli warplanes launched a wave of airstrikes on the country's capital and the northern Yemeni province of al-Jawf.

Responding to the airstrikes, Yemen’s Armed Forces began confronting the invading aircraft with surface-to-air missiles.
Spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree later released a statement, hailing the success of the reprisal, and noting that the servicemen had managed to force some Israeli combat formations to leave before waging aggression against the country.
“The greater part of the attack was thwarted,” he added.
Since October 2023, the forces have hit numerous targets throughout the occupied Palestinian territories in response to the Israeli regime’s ongoing war of genocide on the Gaza Strip.

The regime and its arch-allies, the United States and the UK, have on many occasions subjected civilian targets across the Arab Peninsula country to considerably deadly aggression as a means of trying to force the servicemen to stop their solidarity strikes.
Also on Wednesday, the forces spurned the regime’s claims of having hit “missile launch platforms” as part of its most recent bout of aggression.
“The Yemeni Armed Forces confirm that its (the regime’s) raids targeted purely civilian objects, including the newspapers ‘26 September’ and ‘al-Yemen,’” they noted in a separate statement.
The airstrikes resulted in the martyrdom and wounding of “male and female journalists, as well as citizens and passersby,” the statement added.
